Good grief, crap is really piling on me. Literally! One of the cats crapped in my closet on top of my dirty clothes so now I have a crap-load of laundry to do. I also discovered that I spaced out my license plate renewals so both Chrish and I are driving on expired plates and will be until the end of this endless week. While watering the plants in the yard out front, I kept hearing a buzzing sound (in the front yard?). When I looked up, I discovered the oak in front of my house that leans toward my house has a bees nest in it (swarm much?) It doesn't look too large, (you can tell by how many bees fly out within the space of a minute) so maybe the space will become too confining and they'll swarm off to a new location in the spring. It still worries me that there might be a large hole inside the trunk and since  4 oaks  have fallen on houses on my street since 2000, it just adds to my long list of worries. You know, the kind that start rolling around in your brain at 3 AM and ensure that you never get back to sleep. J is still busily planning his egress, but wants to leave part of his stuff here till later. I'm inclined to charge him a small storage fee since he's probably just stalling so he doesn't have to pay storage until he gets an apartment arranged. Lord knows how he's going to accomplish that since  he couldn't afford to pay me $200 less than he'd been paying for living expenses before he met me. I think he thought I was cheating him. I offered to show him the bills several times, but he wasn't interested. Who knows, he may just stay at his daughter's indefinitely, but I really can't imagine that working well for any extended amount of time. Well, it's none of my business now. I have enough to worry about.
