     That's what I'm guessing.  Right now I'm dealing with the fact that I'm   
   behind in invoicing to the tune of around ~$2000, so that's holding me back   
   again here.  I really need to learn how to do the invoicing myself so that I'm   
   not relying on anybody else, especially anybody that doesn't have the will to   
   get up and breathe, let alone make money or keep stable a place to stay.   
      
    NB> And then, hopefully, the Aikido will continue into the school year...?   
      
     Well the Aikido is something that I plan to do permanently.  As far as   
   Deschain, I'd like him to at least get to a point where it'd help him if he's   
   getting physically attacked.  It'd be really cool if he'd like to stay in it   
   long enough so that we could do it as a bonding thing into the teen years and   
   all, though.  :)   
      
   though.  The horror.     
    NB> Some things are just best not dwelt upon...     
      
     You got that right.   
      
    NB> Yeah... the bit at a time is probably a good strategy... can be done   
    NB> sooner than later... and yup, you'll need to do something when the kid   
    NB> goes back to school...  :)   
      
     Yeah.  I've got tasks and different things piled up left and right.  I need   
   to start prioritizing some sort of a list again.  It'll be so much easier to   
   catch back up with a lot of this stuff once he's in school again.  God that's   
   less than 2 weeks now.  They had an extraordinarily short summer.   
      
    DAG>>>> I think I found another community center that we'll be able to

    NB> not to be needed at the moment...  :)  Or it might be just the thing to   
    NB> get you both through the tail end of summer... :)   
      
     Not sure we'll make it before that, but it's a goal to get to as soon as   
   humanly possible.  If my meds stabilize enough for me to be more comfortable   
   going out in public and engaging in conversation I'll probably get him there   
   before school; otherwise it is definitely a resource for the future.   
      
    NB> And now you know better... At least you found out in time to get one   
    NB> week in... :)  And know that it can be an option for next summer if   
    NB> needed... :)   
      
     Yep.   
      
    NB> Or take in an adult cat and promise the kitten for next summer...  ;)    
    NB> Or get a small stuffed animal or two in the interim, one for each of   
    NB> you, perhaps... ;)   
      
     Well there are 2 more cats living in this 1 bedroom apartment.  I think   
   that's out of the question for now, at least for the living ones.  Maybe some   
   stuffed ones soon here...  I know Deschain's already got some holed up   
   somewhere here, but I need one for myself, too.  Too bad they don't have any   
   that knead lightly and rattle at you adoringly while squinting into your eyes.
