Today…

Ug.

Today is Mum’s birthday.
Dinner was spaghetti…As that is what there is that was easy.
Cheesecake and/or lemon meringue pie will be dessert.
Mum requested Cheesecake…The Lemon meringue pie stuff had been sitting on the counter to be made for a couple weeks now…Probably more like a month.
Finished the crust for the cheesecake only to realize…No milk. Mum snagged some from the vending machines at work, so I could make her cheesecake.
The lemon meringue pie was me wanting to do something, so at least something was going right…Although I was waiting for it to go wrong too…Or me to drop it as I pulled it out of the oven (did that once, ages & ages ago).

The day…
Got the Critters up, with strict, get moving words. As I was warming up the Beast, and I didn’t want to leave it running any longer than necessary not doing anything.
Thing is…The lifters started tapping a couple weeks ago…& Saturday when Sonja & I went shopping, it was acting up…Mum had already made arrangements to drop it off where we got it, so they could look at it tonight when she got out of work…IF their mechanic was going to be around.
Got home from dropping Critters off.
Harley was supposed to have a counselling appointment today…Mark the supposed part…Took off from the house about 10:15-ish…Went from house to end of road (about a quarter mile or so), pulled out onto next road, went a few more feet…BANG! Clang…*watch parts fall and bounce across road behind me*
Pull over. Shut off engine. Go to investigate…Bits and pieces of metal are scattered in the road. One part that I recognized as a part of the oil pan. O.o
So…Yeah…

It was after this, and getting things sorted out with the insurance, and the wrecker, that I did the cheesecake…Or attempted to…& made the pie.
Made the cheesecake when Mum got home with milk. I don’t think she’s even noticed the pie in the fridge.
Also made her a card with a hummingbird on it for her birthday card (which can be seen at Coyote Creations).

Got my KUD done for Social Studies, finally.
Not much else done in the way of homework. *frowns*
I really need to figure out what to do with myself.
Although, I did go through my past class boxes/folders & dig out the core standards for English…Which I will probably use as my second content class needed for my Science lesson plan (as we are required to connect it to another one).

I have no idea what I’m going to do about my volunteering crap. The lady hasn’t gotten back with me. & now, I don’t have transportation as easily as I had previously.

I need to pack soon…I don’t know what to take…I don’t know what the weather is going to be like, or how often I’ll be out in it, or where I’ll be going. [The news told me it was going to be 100 in Texas today…I don’t quite want 100…But I want something more thatn 20.]

The [ ] part of that reminded me…Mum heard it was suppose to freezing rain tonight. I heard 1-2 inches of snow. If school is cancelled, it would be a good thing…Otherwise…I’m going to have to get up, take Mum to work, come back, get the Critters ready for school…Go pick up Mum from work, pick up Critters from school…Go to school myself. & squeeze anything else I need done into that time.

Got the 2nd replacement battery for my phone in the mail today…After not hearing from them, and giving up and ordering a another new one last night. So…yeah…Hopefully I’ll end up with at least one good battery out of the mess.

So yeah…I think that is it for the moment…My thoughts are too scattered to make much sense.
