I am soooo sorry that I didn't get a chance to say goodnight and see how you were doing!!! I can't decide whether it was like a comedy or horror show around my house last night!!! I don't know if you've read or not, but I have "critters" in my house--really, really intelligent mice...or something! These things have unwrapped a loaf of bread, dug a hole in my carpet, moved a mouse trap and I'm pretty sure they have stood outside my bedroom door laughing and pointing (and if you go to the thread war, you'll see them roasting marshmallows). Anyways, I have two dogs that come in at night so they don't get frostbite on their cute little noses and I've borrowed my parents cat to try to catch these things (sorry folks, a month of humane trying is my limit!). So it was nice and quiet in here when all of a sudden there is a horrible crash in my kitchen, my dog jumps up off my lap, the cat runs out there, the other dog comes from down the hall, my laptop falls to the floor. One dog starts chasing the cat, I'm tring to get up when the cat runs across my back, followed by the dog attempting to while the other dog is barking. I make it to the kitchen to find the lid to my snowman cookie jar laying on the cupboard broken and no critter anywhere to be found. Get everyone calmed down, the cat down from the top of the bookshelf, the dog that chased it there in my room, my cookie jar cleaned up and thrown away , my laptop picked up, turned back on and where's the internet cord????? (For a time I think the mice probably took it to hook up to their little mouse computer, then I wonder what they would call their computer mouse--a human?) ANYWAY, I finally find the cord in a tangle of others that the dog-chasing-the-cat mess created and notice I'm bleeding. Not gushing, but enough to make me swear! The cat had scratched my shoulder while evading the dog. So by the time I got everything cleaned up I just flopped right in bed and I am so sorry---please forgive me for not at least seeing how you were and saying goodnight. Not very good support person. I do hope you are ok. How'd the drawing go? I understand if you feel that you can't rely on me anymore, but if you do need to talk again and you want to, please just let me know.
