But I can’t play an E-flat major chord on the ukulele… unless maybe they make capos for ukuleles or I finally get around to learning some barre chords. Time to brush my teeth and go to bed with the radio. ---

> [@EmilyG](#): > > Do you still have sheet music or a recording of it? 🙂 I don’t think I ever wrote it down. I just knew how it went. My dad had a great ear and he knew it, too. In fact, he played it far better than I ever could. But he also had more lessons and experience than I did. I got my musical ability from him. But I can tell you that there are only 3 chords - C, G, F. Tho there might be another now that I think about it. Time for work -MWAH!!! ---

I figure if I can make it through student teaching while having mono that’s going to make me nearly invincible, right? I certainly hope so because this really sucks. I’ve been trying to go to bed somewhat early lately but last night I was up late preparing for today. I have to teach three lessons that are being videotaped, one each day the rest of the week and my dad is doing the video so half of my night was talking about that. I’m going to look like night of the living dead in the video. So, in other words, blurf. ---

It’s a nice clear 61 degrees with a projected high of 84. I guess I’d better close my bedroom window before I leave, since somebody around here turned on the AC last night. I am up too early thanks to the thundering herd and now I can’t fall back asleep. So I may as well get up and start getting ready to go. I wanted to sleep until 8, so much for that. I will be in WV all day, or part of the day, I don’t know. I’m picking up a friend in the northern part of Baltimore and we are going to take our time, get some lunch and make a day trip of it. Don’t know when I’ll be back so all y’all behave while I’m gone. ---

Blurf. Going to the doctor in a bit. I’m worried. I think I’ve gained weight since my last visit (I don’t have a scale at home.) Also, I’ve had a blood test and heart test done, and I’m really worried about the results. _fingers crossed_ ---

The truck payments were awful primarily because we’d rolled the payments for our trade-in into the truck loan, so we were really paying for one and a half vehicles. The final truck payment was small enough that I’ve already been able to take a credit account with a low balance and nuke it, and still be under $600 combined. Next month will see another account or two get zeroed out. We’re hoping that by this time next year, we should be close to having no credit card debt as the “extra” money per month is going to snowball as more and more monthly payments are no longer being made. 🙂 Then, we’ll really have some money to plow into the “Get Us Back Home!” fund. ---

Blurf. I haven’t read anything that’s happened since Monday except for the bit about **gotti** ’s car payments (congrats, btw!) because I’ve been busy as hell. But once I’m done with PT tonight, I have no more extracurricular appointments this week. Roomie is going away this weekend, so I plan to do a minor amount of cleaning and a major amount of work on my Halloween costume. Of course, it’s far more likely that I’ll spend the weekend sitting on the couch in my underwear, talking to the dog and watching _Teen Mom_ or something. But I can dream. ---
