Thursdays for me are really starting to suck. I made an effort to get up early, after going to bed at 4 AM this morning so that I wouldn't sleep away half the day. I always feel like I've wasted part of my day when I sleep in. So, I get up at 9:00 and what do I do? Not a fuckin' thing. I sit around the apartment all morning, talking with my mother-in-law, who's hiding out here some, and logging onto Planetarion occasionally to further the growth of my measly little planet. So, what did I gain by getting up early? Nothing, but at least I didn't feel like I wasted part of the day. Yeah, that's much better than having gotten enough sleep. Sure.

Oh, yeah, we've got my mother-in-law hiding out in our apartment and complex. Last week, I believe, there was a tragedy in the family. My wife's cousin had a baby not too long ago. Well, their older son was sleeping with the baby, which was only a couple months old, and he accidentally rolled over the baby and smothered it. The funeral was Tuesday. Well, since the incident, the Department of Children and Family services has been trying to take his kids away from him. They came to his home a day or two after the incident and were going to take them then, but he fought them, and a judge agreed with him. Now the kids are at his mother-in-laws, but they're wanting to take the kids from her to. He wants my mother-in-law to take them, but she can't handle them, plus, if they're trying to hide them at her place, she could get into trouble. So, she's been hanging out over here and at another friends apartment to try and stay out of it. Sometimes, this world is really fucked up.

Don't really have much to say today. Slow day, nothing really happened much. Just hung out. I'll try to have something more interesting for the next entry...but don't hold your breath.
