New Beginnings

(Sorry there was no update yesterday, but it was my birthday. I was supposed to get Pets, but it was all sold out )

Well, I have a new worry now: Getting old.

What made me start thinking about that? I hear you ask. To tell you the truth, it’s all Alkanet’s fault. Sort of. Alkanet has now joined the ranks of…

… ‘The Old Age Club’! Gosh, doesn’t she look like Ma in that last photo? Anyway, Alkanet retired right after her birthday, so she’ll be able to ebjoy her pension (and, since she was a Visionary, said pension is rather large.). I know she’s looking forward to all the extra time she’ll be able to spend with Blake and her children, because she’s told me so at least fifty times now. It’s funny really, because growing old bothers Amby a great deal (she doesn’t want to give up her job), and it bothers me a little, but it’s never really bothered Alkanet at all. She’s quite happy to be a grey-haired old lady. I do wish she’d stop calling me ‘Youngster’ though, because it reminds me that I ain’t gonna be like that for much longer, especially if my toe-rag children don’t stop getting up to no good. I swear they’re giving me grey hairs!

Let’s see, where to start? Oh, yes.

Katie’s been suspended for two weeks for trying to seduce a teacher into giving her better grades, Sagaxus has about a month of detentions to work off for throwing his chair through a classroom window, and Shogg accidentally belted a baseball through a police car window. Poor Officer Sykes was a bit shocked, actually, and it took him half an hour to stop shaking. He thought he’d hit Shogg, you see. Honestly, no matter how many times I tell that boy to stay in the back yard, he just doesn’t listen!

Hello, there’s the helicopter. Thank Goodness! I have to get away from those little monsters for a while…
