Goofy Day

[days_unfolding]

I overslept this morning by 45 minutes, and made it in 7 minutes late to relieve the front desk worker for lunch. I consider that a moral victory. Forgot to take my morning meds, so I was tired all day.

Good news though. I've been trying for years to get appointed to one of the committees of librarians selected from members of our consortium, and this year, I finally made it. I guess that I'm heading in the right direction in developing my career...two presentations and a committee appointment...

I almost forgot to take dinner tonight. I usually go at 5:45 PM, but had planned to go at 4 PM because I got in early. I left at 5:30. Oops. So now I'm not hungry yet.

I also forgot that we're working only seven-hour days in the summer, and worked eight. I needed to be on online chat from 7 - 9 PM though, so I don't know how I would have been able to work seven. I'm on salary though, so it doesn't really matter.

I worked a little on my poster presentation. I'm planning to work a lot on it on Sunday.

I need to scramble to run errands and do laundry tomorrow because I need to meet with my co-presenter on Saturday to discuss the intro to our (live) presentation. Life is going to be hectic up though the time that we do the presentation (a week from this Tuesday).

When I got home, I enjoyed lying on my bed, playing with my phone, and snuggling with two cats. Home is where the heart is. I'm feeling more guilty about Mimi because there was a picture on Facebook of a sad dog who has been bouncing from home to home. That's Mimi's situation. I'm her third human. Well, I'm not doing anything about her right now. And she's been mellow tonight.

Re Mimi-- I know the difficulties and feel for you and for her. And your other kitties! haha I've seen the passing of time change a pet for the better. It's like they're waiting for the other shoe to drop, but the more trust that is built between you and Mimi, the more she will feel "safe."
Ella wouldn't engage in playtime until about 6 years after I took her off the street. And I'll never forget the first time she sat on my lap! That was HUGE-- and it came earlier on, about a year in, I think.

Ella still has issues, health and emotional, but she's a very different cat than I met that July day in Albany Park.

I think some of Mimi's issues are due to the fact that she lived at the Humane Society a long time. She feels that she has to fight with Zara to get resources (food, my attention, etc.) Maybe she'll mellow out over time.
