I wish I knew where to begin. Dad left Wednesday night and left for North Carolina, with Deb, Thursday morning. He will be home on the 2nd but it just feels so far away. I've been having a hard time dealing with Jarryd all by myself and I just don't know what to do. Maybe we can head over to Becky's one day this week or even spend the night or two at her house.

I get my tattoo tomorrow. I really wish my artist would get back to me on a price. I have the $100 credit but I really need to know if my tattoo is going to go over that. I have some rolled change I can turn in, plus a check from my sister, and a little bit of money in the bank but it's not a whole lot of money. I'll have, at most, $90 if that. I wish I could get last weeks check and this one's rolled into one but she won't have the money again until Friday and my tattoo is tomorrow. I suppose I could ask for half of the money of the walkie-talkies I sold them. I think $30 is a fair price so asking for $15 of it shouldn't be too bad, should it?

I don't know. Jarryd is currently passed out on the couch and Justin is on the floor passed out. I wish I could be sleeping but instead I'm typing up my journal entry and working on another ripple blanket. I wish I had the motivation to get Chrystle's blanket done. I thought I could have it done within a month but I didn't realize that the blanket would need to be 75 inches long. I really need to find a tape measure and measure it out after I finish the round of gray I am working on. I just hope it doesn't take me too much longer to finish it up. It will be a nice $100, although I would usually charge much, much more than that but she has helped me out with Jarryd and so I gave her a discount.

Alrighty then, journal. I'm going to sign off of here and continue to work on my blanket. Here's to hoping that today doesn't drag and that my artist gets back to me before tomorrow about the tattoo and price.
