  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.

  You got that right.

  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.

  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

  Yep.

  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.
