A few plans for the rest of the week: driving home tomorrow, testing for a job on Wednesday, WIC appointment on Thursday, and PT/OT with Daniel on Friday.

Here is picture for thought I am sharing… Daniel “helping” us in the kitchen.

So I’m about halfway in and am keeping up. Yay!

I only have two people to kill off so far. In order to have the fictitious DaHorror.Com website in my story, I need more. If you want me to kill you off creatively, go to Daniel’s March of Dimes band and donate. (I don’t care how much it is — $5 is totally acceptable to me.) Leave me a comment on how you want to die and I’ll send you a copy of the paragraph where I kill you off.
