I'm still alive!

I'm still alive, but buried in homework. At present, I am learning how to convert radian measure to degrees and visa versa, how the Constitution affects business decisions, how information systems is so much more than just information technology, and how to critique short fiction. Repeat after me: This exhaustion will all pay off some day.

South Beach is going well, also. I've lost another pound. I'm at the stage in the diet where you start adding carbs back in, and for two weeks I added in way too many and, instead of losing, I gained 2. So I'm up to a grand total of 12 pounds lost. And I'm trying hard not to find them.

We have a virtual pet. Ian wanted a dog like his cousin Jeff had, but that is out of the question. (First because this apartment is too small for an animal, second because the landlord will not permit it, and third because Ian is afraid of most of them, so why he wants one is beyond me.) We now have a Tamagotchi. It sleeps, poops, eats and plays. If you had asked me even a year ago if I ever planned on owning a virtual pet, I'd have laughed. See how parenthood changes a person over time?

I hope everyone is doing well.

Calvin? a doggie? He was terrified of Jack and all he did was lick you silly... maybe a small pet in time hamsters? fish?

We had a fish, but it died. I flushed it, and for three days Calvin didn't want to sit on the potty because the fish might come back and bite his butt.

He did decide, after you no longer had Jack, that he really liked him. I will never truly understand how my child thinks.
