Back from Springfield yesterday evening, and did some chores around the house for awhile. This past weekend was fun, I apparently have become a hero to my nephew, he drives up in his imaginary car and hopes out saying "Hi I'm Uncle Pat!". He is an amazing kid, he skipped out on the learning single words, he is having conversations now at 2 years old, and just keeps growing and growing, pretty amazing.

The weather has me down today, started raining early this morning and is dark and gloomy, the sad thing is that all I can think about is the leak that is dumping water into the basement at this point. I have spent untold hours trying to find it, but so far no luck... I have my theories, but so far I haven't found the "smoking gun". Oh well...

Sleep is something I need desperately today, I couldn't get to sleep last night no matter how hard I tried, I tossed and turned, read, roamed around, tried to sleep on the floor (sometimes this helps), and still I didn't get to bed til around 2 am.... I have too many things on my mind, I can't shut it off, which in turn leads to me being stuck in a loop of insomnia that won't go away til I just fall apart and get it all out... I've done this for years, and I know what the trigger was that started it all, I just never had any resolution to it.

The Harry Potter madness was just plain wrong, nothing was right about it, hundreds of people being told to go stand in this line or that, no good direction from the employees, and it just kept getting more and more insane as the hours went by. We didn't end up getting them because it would have easily been 2 am before we walked out the door with a friggin book... completely insane. And now I find out that there were mis-prints from the printers that leave out the last 50 or so pages, basically leaving the reader destroy'd because a main character dies... after waiting so many years for it, I can't believe they are having these problems.
