Oliver jumped on me a couple of times when I was trying to sleep. Sigh. He and Zara had words. Nonetheless, I woke up at 4 AM. Mimi was downstairs. Oliver seems to be asleep somewhere. It’s kind of nice being in the quiet.

Walmart has a ten-gallon fish tank for only $44.98. And I can have it delivered! Ordered and delivered.

Oops. Oliver is up. ( Read more... )

Got up with my alarm at 4 AM. Went back to sleep at 5:30 AM. I’ve decided to put Oliver in the warm bathroom for the time being. I’m tired.

Zara is confused because I fed her earlier. She wants more food now!

I subscribed to Consumer Reports online. (My dad subscribed me to the magazine.) I wanted to read their ratings of hearing aids. They said ( Read more... )

Slept until 8 AM. Tired. It’s supposed to rain.

Mimi appears to be sleeping in. She didn’t come down last night too, but someone ate her food. No, I hear her now. Okay, the morning excitement known as “food” is over.

Woke up from my nap before my alarm at 11:30.

I think that I do want a TV for the bedroom. It would be nice to lie in bed and ( Read more... )

Woke up at 5:30 AM. Why am I doing this? Fed the girls and myself. Oops, my alarm went off, and Zara didn’t like it. Napped. Got up and my back hurts.

Mimi has opinions. Lots of opinions. Woe is Mimi :)

Put another litter box on to soak.

It’s supposed to rain in a few minutes. Sigh.

On the docket for today: work on the library room, go to the ( Read more... )

I took a short nap because it’s a holiday and Zara wanted snuggle time. Mimi came downstairs to complain at me.

I’ve been reading Jim Hutton’s book about Freddy Mercury. It's interesting. Finished it.

Got the aquarium upstairs. Took the backing off because I want to be able to see the tank from my desk. Ordered a new filter pad.

Started washing ( Read more... )

Cats: We’re hungry!
Me: You didn’t finish your food from last time.
Cats: That was then; This is meow.

Woke up at 4 AM. Went back to sleep. Woke up at 6 AM. Sigh. Cats: Mom, you’re up. Feed us!

It’s gray and supposedly raining. No white Christmas here!

Zara rubbed against me and went to eat more food.

Napped. Got up at 9:30. Ate lunch.

Okay. ( Read more... )

Costco isn't sending me a card. I need to go over there and visit the membership desk to get my photo ID. Meanwhile, I have a digital membership card on my phone.

Hey, I don’t need to set an alarm tomorrow! So I woke up at 5:30 AM. Sigh. Fed myself and the girls and won’t set an alarm while I nap. Slept until 10:30. That’s better.

Yikes, American ( Read more... )

Woke up at 7:30 AM. It’s a dark and gloomy day. Showered and put on fresh pajamas as a compromise for this probably short day. The new pajamas are very cozy.

Quiet at work. I'm discussing aquariums, dogs, and cats with my friend/colleague.

Yeah, we'll be out at 2.

Hmm, I'm looking at some magnetic cord clips on Amazon. I still need to get the ( Read more... )

Got up at 7 AM. Zara was doing her feline mind-meld trick: FEED ME! Mimi doesn’t show up until I open the can of food. Got to make it worth her while.

Napped. Had lunch. Folded towels. I’m trying to figure out what to do with rags. I think that I’ll put them in a laundry basket and put them in the basement. Put clothes in the dryer.

I’ve been ( Read more... )

I’m lounging in cozy purple pajamas. They’re warm. And cute.

Got up at 7 AM. Fed the cats and myself. Napped. Zara is still asleep, and Mimi is hanging out on the heat vent. I’m feeling like going back to sleep, but I should get up and get things done.

Had lunch. I need more soda, so I should submit a grocery order.

Tonight is the Solstice thing ( Read more... )
