Hanging in there

Doing my thing, just like always.
Things are beginning to go more smoothly. School is settling down, although I was late to my math class, because I mistakenly thought it was at eight am, instead of seven. I was half an hour late! Doh!
Anyway, I am doing well in my classes at least. And getting the hang of the schedule.
We did microscopes in Lab the other day. It was fun, I guess, but I got a dud. There were only two little crawlies on my slide that I made with pond water. This one guy had everything in his slide, from algae to creepy-crawlies. I had scratches. And a worm thing. And another small little swift bit that was too small to describe.
The professor is great though. I like her.
All my teachers are pretty cool. I am enjoying my English class (remember, it is Developmental Writing II) and my Beginning Algebra class teachers as well. I haven't had much of a chance to get to know my Bio teacher, as I have only been to class once. Next week I will get to know him better. He seems pretty cool.
My projects are under way. I did a dresser, the little blue one that we found on the curb. I did it in a Twilight Gray color, and sanded it down to show a bit of wood and old paint. It matches my bedroom perfectly. I couldn't have done it to match more if I had done it on purpose. I also replace the knobs. George helped me, by carrying the old knobs all over the house. Still finding them.
George is doing well. He has a LOT of energy and tends to kill his toys if he gets bored. Also he puts EVERYTHING in his mouth. His favorite game is to carry clothes or books or whatever he can get off the floor around the house while running. My house has never been cleaner. :) So far he has only managed to ruin a few things. We like to keep him occupied with his swimming pool, and games, like finding a treat under a series of bowls and then trying to get it out from under the correct bowl. He LOVES that one. He figures it out pretty quick. Also, he gets walked two to three times a day. He is learning to behave on the leash pretty well.
The boys are good. Jeremy is doing well in school. He decided against Marching Band this year. He is going to seminary as well. Dylan is still looking for a job.
Richard is home for a couple of weeks. It is a nice change. He has traveled a lot this year. Every month, for at least a week.
I have been having health issues. I won't go into them, they are not important. I am getting them in control. I hope. I am excited to begin losing weight. I wish it was easy. Man. It has been tough. Most of you have seen me lately and know that it is not going fast AT ALL. I am very strong though. And I have stamina, which is new for me. I am also sleeping less and eating less.
Gotta run.
