This morning I was a good citizen and went to tutor at a local elementary school and I had a great time. I am signed up to tutor for an hour every Thursday morning from now until forever.

I am tutoring Uriel and his word for the day (yes, it was tied around his neck) is "Wonderous", as in (he informed me, matter of factly, when we started): "Its wonderous that a spider knows how to spell". We read a chapter from Charlotte's Web, which is one of my all-time favorite children's books, and, therefore, a much better way to spend a morning than actually being at work. I also managed to convince Uriel that the Constitution was one of the coolest things in the world.

I also dropped Apache at the vet this morning. After another night of stomach distress, I noticed this morning there was blood (and lots of it) in her stool, and so I called it in, and they told me that I should get her diagnosed. Ah, my dog, the money sink. I am hoping there is nothing seriously wrong, but its better to check.

And I made an offer on a house last night. I still haven't heard back. I'll keep you updated.
