Oh, that's right. I did volunteer to teach a juggling lesson at War Practice, didn't I?

Sunday 11:00am. Just so I don't forget, cause I promised Iolanda I'd be there.

Oh ... bounce bounce bounce!

In other news, akesteven got home before I did yesterday. So she was home when this fellow came by. He was teaching his son all about lawn mowing, and they offered to mow our lawn for $15... *bounce* Sure thing, you bet. She took him up on it instantly. ;)

And they were almost done by the time I got home. I suggested we see if they'd come back every two weeks. *bounce* Yes, they will. $10 to mow our lawn every two weeks or so.

No more lawn mowing for me this summer!

*bouncebouncebouncebouncegrinbounce whee!*

On a more serious note? Well, not like I'm ever really serious, but still. I think it's safe to say that last night is the first night I've had trouble sleeping in probably nearly a year. Well, except for the time I was sick. And that doesn't count. It's funny though, since I rather think I know what's caused it. And no, I'm not gonna tell - there are just some things you all don't need to hear. I know - it's my journal, but it's one that is read by folks ... including my Mother ... so somethings do get editted.

But just knowing what's causing my wakefulness doesn't really help. I wish it did. I wish I knew what to do about it.

I wish I had several million dollars while I'm on the topic of wishes.
