Went to sleep for a while after my last entry, dreaming of the news that I heard in the background. A small, smiling sort of snake called a Ki that burglars would throw at you to distract you while they rob you blind. Many recounts, and free taco bell meals for the counting volunteers! Etc. I think I woke up around 11:30 because there was a terrible smell (an air freshener my mom was using to which I am sensitive), and because the TV in the next room was loud and my mother was on the phone with my aunt in the kitchen.

Sat around reading Richard E. Grant's film diaries, With Nails, and "watching" Dogma and then Ocean's Eleven. Then ate onion-sauteed potato&cheese "'Rogies", which are miniature pierogies. They were just passable, possibly because I thawed them in the microwave rather than by boiling them in a pot on the stove. Pierogies cooked that way are one of my favorite foods, but this was questionable.

Until a moment ago my little N-cat was curled near my feet, but the B-cat, insouciant as usual, decided that it's His Turn, so N-cat wandered off elsewhere to sleep, and B-cat has settled into the same spot. They both have their charms, but N is my cat, and I rarely actually see him anymore.

I'm tired... I'm either going to work on my tarot flashcards, or I'm going to go back to sleep. My fever is back up to almost 101, too. (It was only 99 earlier this evening.) I can't do much but sigh and take my pills.

I can't sleep, and it isn't for want of trying... and i'm too achy to get anything done that doesn't involve lying in bed, but I don't really feel up to reading, staying awake, cognitive thought, etc.

I am so sick of being sick!

help me... I am watching Dawson's Creek... I have sunk so low...

I think I averaged a stunning six hours of sleep. But I'm awake. I might take something to sleep later tonight because I have to be awake for Thanksgiving dinner. We have reservations at a swank restaurant which isn't too far away, but which we've never been to. Will possibly go see a movie after that, but I'm not sure which one. Last year it was Sleepy Hollow. For the second time.

I am wearing my penguin pajamas - flannel pants and a knit tanktop. I think I need to make some decaf and put on something with sleeves. The B-cat is giving me long longing looks with his big whiskers at full attention and his large round liquid eyes, a little slanted, staring soulfully into mine. That darned cat!

Spent most of the rest of the time before I went to sleep yesterday reading about Genji because I finally finished the "Evening Faces" chapter and I wasn't sure on whether or not his girl in that chapter was also the mother of To no Chujo's child. I found tons of material and ended up staying online until my eyes were having trouble focusing - then I was finally able to sleep. I also managed to take care of a few silly things around the house, like lightbulbs that needed changing and so on.
