This week-end has been harsh again on me. My mom called and she's not coming back to the US like she said she would. She's just as stubborn as I am, and man do I want to strangle her right about now.
We all know that until she gets back here and doesn't have to live alone with grandma she's not going to get any better. But no, France it is.

Then Lucy got sick saturday morning, and I had to take her to the vet today to make sure she was ok since she hadn't eaten anything since friday. She's fine, but on more antibiotics for another week. Poor thing!

My computer decided to break, it will work for a while and then just freeze until I have to shut it off. Then I have to let it rest for 2 hours until it will restart. Right now I'm just hoping that I can even post this entry.

School... still not doing too well.
Work is the only place where things are still ok. The kids really do help me be happier when I see them during the week.

I don't really want to think about 10 things that I like today, but maybe it'll make for a better mood by the end, so here goes.

1. Sending care packages (Fifi, yours is on the way tomorrow, sorry with Lucy being sick Saturday I didn't get a chance to go to the post office!)
2. Post cards. Not so much regional post cards although I like those too, but more greeting like postcards with cute pictures, or retro poster prints on them. I have a collection of postcards that fills a whole bedside drawer.
3. Henna. I love drawing with Henna on my feet, for me it's a spiritual thing that I use when I'm at a moment of change in my life or when I need guidance.
4. Cockatoos. I want one so bad but won't be able to have one until I have my own house. Cockatoos are the cuddliest parrots you can find.
5. Asian inspired art or decorations. I really love some of the koi and crane paintings and such.

6. Masks. I've been wanting to collect masks for a long time. No tribal masks although I have one, but leather masks aka venetian masks. I love those !
7. My friend Christine. She cheers me up no matter how bad I'm doing, I should call her actually.
8. Staying as far away as I possibly can from drama. When I'm able to succeed at that I'm really happy. Sadly it doesn't seem to want to let me go, ever.
9. Old french commercial posters.
10. My family's stuff from france. Paintings, little statues and such

Ok, I'm done for today. Hope this next week is a better one.
