Here is how it went down on this fine chilly Monday;
4:45am Patches wanted out of Rhia's room (he has been limping since Saturday morning, swollen paw and  he  pulled the fur off part of his leg.  My guess is he got in a scrape with something Friday night while he was outside and he got hurt).  Fed him as well and made sure all the animals had fresh water.

5:20am the dogs wanted outside.  They couldn't wait 30 minutes?  NO they could not.

5:50am the alarm went off so I could get up and make sure Ryan got up so he could catch the bus by 6:30am
Alex woke up with out any prodding this morning.
6:47am Ryan's best friend showed up at the door asking directions to ACE Learning where he starts today to finish his High School Degree.  I took him and his mom there on Friday to register him, he forgot how to get there already.  He has to be there at 7am when class starts and he is riding his bike, so....  I grabbed a coat, my purse and got him and his bike in the truck and got him there just in time for class.  Thank goodness it is just about 5 miles away.
After that it was all a blurr.
The city was by and dug up the approach to our driveway, Alex for got to put the trash out again for trash pickup, Ryan left his school(s) id here at home so I dropped it off at the HS for him, called the vet and got an appointment for the cat for right after my last class, had class, ate lunch, had class, came home got the cat, took him to the vet, $113 later got him home, he needed a bath ( he pottied on himself in his carrier) helped the nephew show the daughter where things were under the hood of her truck....

That is just up to 4pm.

I need a nap. 
Now I need to write 3 papers by 11:59pm today.,

And finish the changes to Rhia's garb for ReneFaire.  Oh my, welcome to a sometimes regular day.
