the long dark midmorning of the soul

I woke up this morning after three and a half hours of sleep! So not cool. I did everything I could to get back to sleep, since I wasn't really good for anything else, but it took me all morning to get there. I spent part of the morning reading, part watching TV, part trying to get my cat to wear his harness (which he can actually slip out of - I should have named him Harry), and the rest just trying to get to sleep. I finally got there around noon and slept all afternoon, which had me waking up too late to get much done except the essentials.

Also, while I was getting ready, B. called, so we agreed to meet at the bookstore after I finished my essential errand (making a credit card payment at Target and buying a new color printer ink cartridge). I also bought my momster a present, since she's coming home tomorrow: a girly pink Magic 8 Ball. It's called the Magic Date Ball and the tone of the answers is updated: "Absolutely!" "Yeah, right!" etc.

I'm home. Headache, but I have a lot of housework to do in the next few hours; then I'll try to get some sleep so that I can get up in time to go to the airport.
