Wild Saturday

I slept until 2 PM. Wow. I was having an intense dream. I promptly fed the girls their wet food because I'm sure that they were hungry.

 

Knocked my grits off of the table and all over me and the floor. Good thing that my sleeping apparel is due for a wash. I need to hand wash that area of the floor too. Way to go :)

 

Made more grits and managed to get them into me instead of on the floor. Finished my morning chores.  Confused the cats because usually, I feed them their wet food after I scoop their litter boxes. When I scooped their litter boxes, Mimi started meowing. Nice try, Mimi. You were already fed.

 

Read the news. I read the New York Times and CNN in the morning (on my phone). I read the BBC and The Guardian at night (also on my phone).

 

Lay down for a nap to get rid of my headache. Slept for three hours. 

 

Did dishes. Put away clothes that were on the drying rack. Put out the garbage.

 

Talked to Mom. She's doing okay. She's been busy with the garden. Two squirrels got into the house, but she hasn't seen them over the last two days, so she's hoping that they found their way out.

 

Chopped veggies for the Salmon Chowder that I'm going to make tomorrow. (I have to cook on the weekend because I want to eat as soon as I get home from work during the week.)

 

Started reading the Friendzy post and asking people if I can add them. A lot of people have posted, and reading it is a lot of work. I think that I'll have to read it over several days. I feel sorry for the people at the end of the list because I wonder how many people get down to the bottom.

 

Scrubbed a litter box that I forgot that I was soaking.

 

That sums up my wild Saturday night.

Hibernation

Woke up at 7 AM, decided that it was too early to get up, and woke up at noon. Much better.

 

Napped a little while after breakfast while my coffee and meds were kicking in.

 

Made salmon chowder. I accidentally put too much pepper in, but it was still pretty good. There were bones in the canned salmon, however, so I had to be careful not to swallow them. Zara thought that it smelled really good, and she was climbing all over me while I was eating.

 

I'm trying to decide what to do. I was planning to go out and get some ingredients for white bean soup, but I could go tomorrow when I'll need to take the car anyway. I feel like staying home.

 

Took another nap, but given that I fell deeply asleep, I must have needed it. Took a shower to wake me up. Started laundry. Went online to further wake me up. Thank you, blue light!

 

Got a reminder on Facebook of a large used bookstore that's only around 35 minutes away. I should go there. Or, given the number of books that I have in storage, I should never go there.

 

Oh, this is ridiculous. I'm feeling tired again. Maybe I should just feed the cats and go to sleep and get up early. 

 

Lit enough of a fire under me to scrub a litter box and hang clothes on the drying rack. Fed myself and the girls (cats). Crashing now.
