Briefly

Quick update here. Too tired to go into detail. Plan to give more detail later.

Ruby-
Superman had a chance to examine her body in the light of day Saturday. He found no evidence of any physical trauma. No scrapes, no smudges of dirt or grease, no obvious broken or misaligned bones. So we now suspect she had a stroke or heart attack while she was out sniffing around in the evening air. We gave her a very nice burial in the backyard Saturday. It was helpful for me, anyhow. I may say more about it later, I don't know. Too tired right now.

C in the jailhouse-
He was arrested at approximately 11:00 Friday night, was finally released around 3:00 Saturday afternoon. He and S spent a little bit of time with their friends and the other mom who is involved in their life right now, and got home about 7 or 8 Saturday night. C and I had a good hug, which we haven't done in a while. Relations have been tense for a while. He told me all about the experience. I may give details later. Too tired now.

Light-
...was home for the weekend. She picked up her new spectacles. When I saw her after she returned home I couldn't tell she had new glasses at first. They look so similar to the pair she's had for 3 years. Well, except the nose bridge isn't broken and superglued back together. They also don't sit crooked on her face. That was the hardest to get used to. She's looked through crooked glasses for so long that the distortion has become normal. The new ones, sitting straight on her face, gave her a distorted view. She was having trouble walking through the yard because of the distortions. It was kinda funny.

I drove her back to school yesterday afternoon. We stopped by TC's house on the way. That was nice. If you recall, Superman and I were supposed to stop by and see her on our way back from taking Light to school last week, but Sproing's concussion nixed that plan. It was a long trip to school, with the detour and all, and I didn't get home until 9:30 last night, after driving most of the way back from college town in the rain. I was very tired.

Tired-
I was tired Saturday. Friday night was a very late night, what with my life falling down around me once again. I tried to go to bed early Saturday night, but was foiled in my attempt at least 3 times, so it was close to 11:00 when I got to sleep. But then I woke up at 4:30 Sunday morning. I don't know why. I took a brief nap before Light and I left, but it wasn't much. I stayed online until after 2:00 this morning, don't know why. I slept until 11:00 today, but have been very sleepy since I woke up. It is 3:30 now. The Braves are tied 3-3 with the Marlins in Miami at the top of the 9th. I like baseball. I like the sound, the modulation of the announcers' voices. It is calming, soothing. Baseball is not an action packed game. It's more about strategy, psychology, physics. I can sleep through psychology and physics. Nap time.
