Melatonin dreams are pretty rad, too.
Sleeeeep. Wondrous sleep.
1Added due to severe pouting. Silly husband, he should know he’s always on the list! <grin>

I’m sitting at my computer desk, trying to wake up. George comes up to my leg with his remarkably tiny meowsqueak and demands to be picked up. He collapses on my arm against my neck purring madly. I croon his name and he throws his head back to look at me upside [...]

You know, I don’t think I’ll try to force myself to post every day again. Maybe it’s that I feel obligated to post, which makes me rebel. Or maybe I just don’t have a life.
I’m ok with that, really. I happen to like my well upholstered rut.
Anyway. One [...]

The bad:
We had to go out on Black Friday after all – vet appointment for Pandora. She’s eating, but not well, and her hair is seriously thinning – we found a bald patch. Worse, it looks like her diabetes is back as well as a UTI. The meds that have been helping [...]

Between Macy’s rickrolling of America and the “Turkeys Away” episode of WKRP in Cincinnati, I don’t think today can get much better!
Confession: We’re having french dip sammiches tonight because the turkey isn’t completely thawed and we can’t be bothered to force it. I love a no-pressure holiday!
I’m thankful for:

My husband.
My [...]

I woke up (to pee, natch) before the alarm went off, and now I’m actually awake! What’s up with that?
So that American Lit test I thought I blew? Got a 98. Seriously, what is wrong with me?? I still feel like my answers weren’t worth full points – I’m under the [...]

Today, in short bullet points:

Tasha has taken off her collar, again. This time, I think she’s hidden it.
The cable bill gave me a massive paper cut.
Though mortally wounded (see above point) I got the junk paid and the bills shredded.
Wait. Reverse that.
I still need to pick classes for Spring term. Eeep.
I’m dreading [...]

I’ve discovered that I don’t like the pressure of feeling like I have to post every day. I’m going to tough it out though, because I still feel bad about miserably failing the Project 365 photo challenge. At least it’s only one month. Can’t promise any earth-shattering or deeply moving posts though.
So, [...]

Well, I just finished my Government test. I’m fairly pleased, I think I was as ready for it as possible, considering my… tendencies. The multiple guess was a piece of cake, as usual, and the short answer (11 fairly detailed questions, omit one) weren’t too bad. I know I lost a [...]

School has been going well for me. I really enjoy it, and I look forward to taking more classes. Well, except maybe for the Speech requirement. So far I’ve got a 4.0, but alas, that will change this term. The best grade I can hope for in my U.S. Government (yeah, go [...]

So. Yeah.
It’s late, I’m crashing, and I’ve got nothing whatsoever to say.
Didn’t sleep well last night, so I slept in pretty late today. That, of course, set the tone for today, which means I accomplished absolutely nothing.
Oh well, that has its advantages as well.
Still got nothing.
Laundry tomorrow, and I’ve got to study for [...]

So. It’s Day 5 of NaBloPoMo and already I’m at a loss for something to post. I’m gonna blame it on having class today and not getting home until late afternoon, and on being up way too late last night.
You know, lots of times I think “hey, I should post [...]

Since the one year I tried NaNoWriMo I managed to write myself into a corner in less than 100 words, I’ve decided to instead sign up for NaBloPoMo! I did manage posting every day for one month a couple of years ago, so I should be able to do it again.

The husband is playing Saint’s Row and is driving down the sidewalk mowing down pedestrians like bowling pins.
It’s… slightly disturbing.

I had a dream last night. It was all very complicated and bizarre and fun, but the part I actually remember enough to describe is the very end. For some reason, Randy Travis showed up to tell me something, and I got his autograph.
Then I woke up with a Barry Manilow song in [...]
