Click images for desktop size: "The Night Is Coming" by Mikolaj Humienny I wonder what it means when each day you wake up and the room feels like someplace new, that you arrived at for the first time late last night and this is your first viewing in daylight.
Who knows.
The cat is surviving, doing better.
The cat and I are both anxious for her to fully recover so we can get back to our mutual dislike of each other.
The cat bit me hard. I don't blame her for that. I was digging at her, giving her medicine. I am interested in how hard she bit me. Went right through a leather glove and did a gouge that's about a 5/8 inch long and a quarter inch wide. Went down to the muscle. I think it could have used a stitch or two. Too late for that now.
Its bugging and hurting me two days later.
It was busy yesterday. I still found time to email my Senator and my Congressman to urge them to support House Resolution 1345. This is the weak kneed resolution calling for the Impeachment of George W Bush.
Its sickening that it has taken this long to get to even this stage. The rush to impeach Clinton was amazingly quick. Bush's lies have led to the deaths of about 4,000 Americans and all we've done is drag our feet.
Its makes the sacrifices of those young men and women seem even more horrifying.
They deserve answers. Clearly an impeachment proceeding, even one at the 12th hour is needed. Even if it clears them the people will at least know what those people have sacrificed their lives for. We'll know what they've stolen our freedoms for.
I've finalized my craigslist ads. I've been talked into running more than one. A separate one for each of my many skills.
I'm putting up two.
Today doesn't look any easier. And all that I have to do won't make me a dime.
I did the laundry yesterday, relying on the weatherman. Of course the thunderstorms came. I look at the wet clothes on the line and wonder if I'd have saved some energy (mine and Con-Ed's) just hanging the clothes and letting the rain have its way with them.
Spraying the house for fleas seems to have been successful. A whole lot scratching last night.
Click images for desktop size: "Ladybugs" by CG I don't know if the dogs appreciated it so much as it bored them. Scratching might have been the most enjoyable thing for them to look forward to.
The dogs were very good yesterday. After the spraying I had to keep them out of the house for four hours, added to the hour or so they had to stay out of the house while I sprayed I was surprised at how un-insane they were.
I took them out for a walk for a couple of hours. Walking three dogs is tons of fun, so much so that I forget that its also a chore.
I had to sit for a bit and only the Giant Dog was able to sit by me and relax. My puppy just keep nudging me to keep moving and the Gentle Dog kept biting me trying to inspire me to do something fun!
Even with all the tending to the cat it doesn't seem like much but it left me exhausted.
Something odd. I can't fall asleep without noise. I used to use the sleep function on the TV. Now I use the iHome and the iPod sleep function. Even if I pass out as soon as my head touched the pillow when I invariably wake up it consoling to me to hear silence. It means I've slept at least an hour. If I hear music I can at least enjoy the tune.
Last night I found out my odd habit is really bugging my friend. The music that comforts me keeps her awake.
I don't see this as an incompatibility so much as an excuse to come up with some super-cool invention where I can pound music through my head while not disturbing her!
I've already run through a half dozen Rube Goldberg type ideas. Most of them while I was drifting off.
