Work Or Not?

I'm up after some bizarre dreams. My mind is an interesting place to visit.

The weather forecasters are predicting freezing rain, aka ice. The rain has started a little, but it's supposed to get more serious in the afternoon. It feels damp in here, and I feel cold. Need hot coffee.

If I went into work early (I want to work a half-day), I could beat the worst of the rain, but I want to be able to get back home. If there's ice, forget it. I live only four blocks from work, but that's enough time to get into an accident if the roads are icy, so I'll wait and see. I'll do stuff around here in the meanwhile.

Harlee seems to have had a couple of accidents, but it's a lot better than it was.

Mimi has noticed that it's warmer, and she is hanging around the back door a little more. I told her that it's raining and she wouldn't like it, but I don't know if she believes me. I think that the cats have the life: eat, sleep, snuggle with Mommy, sleep, eat....I could go for that!

Oh, a friend of mine from high school (we interact on Facebook) has only a couple of dollars to buy food for the week, so things could be worse. She sells Mary Kay, so I just bought a pretty mauve lipstick from her. Not enough to solve her problem, but I'm hoping that other friends of hers will step up.

Chewy.com has an ad for a "heated A-frame cat house". Can't afford it, but I bet that the girls would go crazy over it.

People are writing Gilbert and Sullivan on Twitter about Trump.

The Gamut of Winter Weather in One Day

Just looked at the hourly weather forecast. Freezing rain, then rain, then freezing rain, then snow on top of that. Forget it. Unless a miracle occurs, I'm staying home today.

High Performance Habits

Took a nap this afternoon--and woke up at 5 PM. Oh well. I've been trying to get as much done as I can in the time left.

Love the new Bluetooth headphones. They paired with my cell phone with no problem, and the sound quality is good (or good enough because I'm listening to audiobooks, not music). And listening makes cleaning go faster. And I can listen to audiobooks at any time, even late at night.

Scrubbed litter boxes. Vacuumed. Pretreated/hand scrubbed the carpet. (I want to wash the carpet before work tomorrow. I really hope that the meds work for Harlee, for her sake but also, it will save me a bunch of time). Cleaned the bathroom.

I was looking for my Best Buy receipt (not that I'm returning the headphones! No way!) and wound up on their site. I finally changed my cell phone number and address; it had the ones from when I lived in the Detroit suburbs.

I'm listening to a thought-provoking book called High Performance Habits. The chapter that I'm on has a lot of exercises about thinking about your future. When I think about the future, I tend to think about what I want to have in my life, but this book says to think about who you want to be in the future and how you can start now. A light bulb kind of went off in my mind. I want to do a lot of work with this book. I took a test about the habits, and I have a lot of work to do.
