Thunder....its October, and we are having thunder? omg, that is so twisted! its raining cats and dogs out there.  and all three cats are sitting on the window sill watching it. lol.The kids are ok, some school issues, but other than that, things are ok here. the yard is getting full of the neighbor's leaves,  wish I had a tree big enough to do that much damage. lol.damn these hot flashes, do they have a section in here for menopause? lol.I am taking red clover for that, and just started ginsing, I guess it should all kick in soon, but I havent been sleeping worth crap, dont know if its because the neighbors outside light comes on late at night, every time something moves, or if its because the newest cat in the house just doesnt know when to quit running around. Oh well, its all a test. lol, it's just a test.going to school tommorrow, trying to finish this book, but its a bad one. I dont like it at all. never mind a challenge, but this one is terrible. anyway, I hope everyone has a great day tommorrow. I  wonder how hard it's going to be to rake all those soggy leaves? ewwww
