My up north friends asked me to watch their kids this morning while Becky goes to a staff meeting.  I get there and the boys have already gotten all electronic devices taken away.  Within a few minutes there is a ruckus downstairs and the next thing I know they are writing sentences as punishment.  What fun is it for me if the kids are in trouble and can't do things.  The girls are playing in their bedroom.  They are playing nicely together, but the voices they are using for their different pet shop pals are obnoxious.  I can kind of see why my friends are kind of annoyed with their kids.  I am not sure I could put up with this on a constant basis.  Hopefully, the boys will be done soon and we can play a game or something.  I was going to have them play outside, but it might already be too hot.  I really hate the heat.

I am feeling very anxious, because I know I should be working--even though I haven't worked in weeks.  When I am at home doing nothing I don't feel as bad as when I am somewhere else.

I don't think I have posted about all the fun I had getting my anti-depressant filled.  To make a long story short, the medication I had a prescription for was hard to find--I had to check at several different CVS stores--and then cost a lot of money.  The pharmacy faxed a request for a generic and then was supposed to ask them to fax the response to the CVS close to my house.  Instead it was faxed to a different CVS from all the ones I visited and the only was I found it was to sign up on-line.  I was without for 4 days.  I really didn't feel that bad while I was off the medication--I think I might have actually been better.

Yesterday, I took my Magic the Gathering cards to the game shop where I play D&D Encounters and sold my cards for $142.  I probably could have gotten more selling them myself on ebay or something, but I didn't want to go through the trouble.  That seems to be my big problem is that I don't want to go through the trouble.  I need to figure out what to do with the Young Jedi, Middle Earth CCG, and Dr Who CCG cards.

I had a lot of fun at D&D Encounters last night.  I ran the game and at first thought the players were going to trample the monsters.  In the end, I managed to get a few hits in, but my dice rolls were really bad or it would have been a lot worse.  I did not have the creatures burrow because I wasn't sure how that worked with cut stone, but evidently they can move at half speed through stone.  The players won and survived yet another encounter--chapter 2 doesn't seem to be as difficult as chapter 1 was.  We will see what happens in Chapter 3.
