Today has been a relatively productive day, or at least felt like one. I went out and got food from the Hawaiian place, and did some laundry.

I eventually fell asleep last night after using the Evil Percussion Massager on my back and shoulders and neck, and sleeping on a heating pad (microwaveable - not electric - no chance of burning self while sleeping). I think I got about six hours or so of loglike slumber. Amazing.

Apparently N-cat woke my mom up this morning right after I went to bed, by knocking an entire glass of water over on her. He does it by trying to stick his nose in the glass. So she had to strip her bed and wash every single layer... so I had to wait a while to start my laundry. I filled in the blanks doing around-the-house stuff.

I also started randomly reading Naked, by David Sedaris, which is a bunch of essays (so you don't have to read them in order). my favorite so far was "I Like Guys", but "C.O.G." was also pretty entertaining. That David Sedaris, he's an amusing fellow.

The last two things I was awaiting arrived in the mail today... a knitting book Autumn recommended and some Utena manga posters. Credit card is under lock and key. Meanwhile, I see that some swanky person hit my Amazon wishlist. I'm not going to wager a guess, but thanks in advance, mysteryperson.

Trying to decide whether or not to go see SARK next week at a bookstore about an hour or so away. I didn't really get into the book she's out promoting, but I like some of her others. I guess I will have to see what kind of mood I'm in that day. But I should go... how often do authors I like come to this area? Especially the week of my birthday?

so, i fell asleep at like 4AM, quite happily.

i wake up at 6AM to the sound of B-cat's usual retching and hacking, so i mumble a few words of encouragement and close the door from my room to the kitchen (yes, the cat was finally conveniently in a noncarpeted room when he got sick). I fall back asleep.

As she gets ready for her Saturday morning class, my mother slams a door around 8:15, waking me up. I fall back asleep.

My mother leaves the house, leaving N-cat locked in the room with me. N-cat soon begins to howl and sob and throw himself at the closed door (behind which lies his food, litter, and friends), waking me up slightly before 9AM. As soon as I wake up, he falls silent and comes and sits in the back curve of my knees. After a few minutes, I start to get stiff, but I can't shift positions.

I lie in bed for fifteen minutes and declare it a lost cause. I'm officially an insomniazombie. I could have used sleeping til noon or so, but nyet. Since I woke up, I've been fooling around online, mostly at highschoolalumni.com. I got a note there from an old friend who Autumn reminds me of a lot, uploaded some pictures of my own, and perused some photos of my friend and his Japanese Fiancée (who is a cutiepie).

Now that I am awake, my mother is very likely to attempt to drag me out to evil evil art fair. It's local. I'll have to wander around in the elements and deal with people I don't want to deal with. Ex-boyfriends, teachers whose classes I dropped... they abound at these things. I never see anyone I want to see.

Well, I suppose before I consign myself to that particular misery, I should take a shower and eat breakfast and whatnot.

This is so true. & sad. but true.

i'm going out of town for the day, i think. unrelated to the above. have excused myself from evil art festival, and will probably spend the day studying & perhaps make it to the only knitting store in a 2-hr radius. i need yarn and some new needles. i want to do a sweater. (I realise i have a lot of yarn, but i only have enough of each to make a scarf or hat or mittens or socks or something like that. sweaters require an average of 12 balls. maybe i'll make a tank, that'll only be like 7 & won't require sewing on sleeves. but you get the idea.)

so yeah, that's the plan. i'm scrubbed clean, still need to dress and dry my hair and... other parts of my routine that are even less interesting (meds, makeup, blah blah blah).
