Not Terribly Productive

days_unfoldingFinally got the Walmart order. I did get the light hooks, so yay. Let the dogs out afterwards. Gave the cats their late-night snack, and Gracie too. (Bella doesn’t get one because she’s chunky.)
The scooter now says “Was expected by Saturday”. So not tonight. I hope that I catch it fast because of the porch pirate.
I’m trying an app that lists your subscriptions so that you can cancel them. I plan to use it and then cancel it. But it didn’t find any subscriptions on my primary account, which isn’t true. I found out how to list subscriptions on my iPhone and canceled a bunch. I tried to cancel the app and it crashed. I’m going to have words with them.
Oliver snuck into the bedroom after I came in. I removed him because not only do the dogs try to “play” with him, but he has been known to bite my legs. He is NOT a good bedfellow. Speaking of such, staying up late makes the dogs tired. They are flaked out on the bed instead of wrestling. I don’t know what Bella is dreaming, but she’s twitching.
Woke up a little after 7 AM. Fresh snow out. Zara ate most of her dry food. Good job, Z!
Ordered some address labels for my Christmas cards.
Fed us all. At first, Oliver didn’t eat his food (did he fill up on dry food last night?) but now he’s eaten.
Nap time. Convinced Oliver to leave the bedroom after him threatening to bite and swat me.
Stuff to add to the to-do list:
—Get clothes together for the concert tomorrow (done). Put my music in the black binder
— Brush off the KIA. Get AAA to jump-start the Kia.
—Put up bird feeder.
—Put up lights, wreaths, and bows.
Bella: “Why can’t you pet me forever?”
Napped. Gracie curled up in the crook of my legs. Apparently I have a purpose in life and it’s to be a dog warmer.
Trying to wake up. I need to eat lunch too (done). I kind of want to go back to sleep for an hour.
Put my cruise clothes in the dryer. Went into the bedroom to find that Gracie was chewing on the box for my new travel alarm clock. The clock looks okay though.
Overslept an hour. I got the knee scooter. Damn, that thing is heavy.
Let the dogs out. Got Bella in. Gracie wasn’t ready to come in. Waited a while and went to get her in. Bella ran out. Sigh.
Apparently my dad has a small aneurysm in his brain. He said that it’s unlikely to burst in his lifetime, so they’re leaving it alone. I hope that he’s right.
Finally got the fuzzbutts in. Shower in a few minutes. Hmm. I’m getting hungry. But I should shower first to let my hair dry while I eat.
I’ve been wanting to go to a Christmas market, probably in Strasbourg. But Chicago has a big one, and it’s a lot closer :) I’ll get there one of these years. It’s funny that two different places on Facebook mentioned it now.
Got my black clothes together for the concert and they’re in the wash. Also pulled out black jeans and a hoodie for daytime wear.
Hmm. I’m wondering if I should get up really early tomorrow and get the Kia jump-started. It’s kind of late to do it tonight. I’ll think about it while I feed the beasts and myself. Sunrise is at 7:01. I think that’s the way to go. I’ll just throw myself together because I took a shower late and then shower again at lunchtime.
Ate. Fed the beasts.
Oliver is the only critter that lets me kiss him (on the head, not on the nose). Sometimes he’s a lover boy, and sometimes he’s a little shit.
Sigh. Gracie ate the cats’ fecal sample for tomorrow. I should have taken it out of the litter box. I hope that they’ll give me another sample.
