Goodbye NaBloPoMo
You’ve been kind of fun, but I’m glad this is the last day. I’ll keep blogging, but after today, perhaps I’ll only blog when I have something to say. Heh. Or, maybe sometimes even when I don’t have anything to say, but feel like saying it anyway. For the last day, I’ll post one of the things that makes me happiest. Kittens!
These guys are from our last batch of fosters - they’re Crook and Smarty.

terribly early in the morning
Cyber Monday
What did you buy today? I failed the Cyber Monday shopping test by going grocery shopping live and in person. Not only did I buy groceries, I bought a grand total of 75 cents worth of air for my almost flat tire. The ultimate in an exciting evening, don’t you think?
Hey, remember when I wrote about all the lightbulbs burning out? It wasn’t so terrible because we at least had one of those rechargeable spotlights to use, so at least we wouldn’t lose the little dogs in the yard at night. Well, it died too. Must be some sort of electrical conspiracy.
I’m sleepy…gotta go.

evening
Insomnia
Make it go away. I’ve learned that sleeping is a very important life function. If you don’t sleep, it messes up your brain and your body, and you feel awful. I’ve always been able to sleep whenever I wanted. If I wanted to take a nap, I could just lay down and snooze. Now, it takes me hours and hours and hours of actively working at it, just to get a few hours of sleep. It’s soooooo frustrating. Nothing over the counter works - not Benadryl, not night-time sleepy meds, nothing. Arrrggghhh. Although, I’ve gotten lots of middle of the night movie watching in. Just finished watching “Ae Fond Kiss”, about a British Pakistani Muslim guy dating a non-Pakistani woman. Oh, the Muslim family drama, because he’s supposed to marry his, ICK!, cousin. The guy is really cute. The woman is from the cute romantic comedy, “Imagine Me and You”, with Piper Perabo, Lena Headey, and Matthew Goode. I loved that movie. I’ve always loved the Turtles song, “Happy Together”, so it was nice to have it be the theme song of the movie. So, I now have three official recommendations for you - “Ae Fond Kiss”, “Imagine Me and You”, and “Inception”. The first two are on dvd now and “Inception” will be out in a week or so. You know what would be nice, though, if I could sleep AND enjoy movies. I don’t want to pick between them.

Three More Days!
THREE MORE DAYS of blogging daily. Phew! It’s been brutal with this brain fog and insomnia.
terribly early in the morning
Ow, my toof…ick, the weather
At first, the broken tooth didn’t hurt much. But, I think the more I eat with that big hole in my tooth, the more gunk gets into the hole and makes Flippy say, “Ow!” Hopefully, I can get some of that temporary filling stuff soon. Maybe that can put off the expensive dentist, um, forever. That said, the weather here has been very, very, very, very cold. It got down to 14F yesterday on the patio (so the yard must be like 10) and it’s working on that for today - my last check in the kitchen said 17F, but this isn’t our coldest part of the day yet. The weather in the house is variable, depending on what room you’re in. The teeny bedroom that we’re in (10x10) w/ the door closed and three dogs breathing heavily, plus one or more cats and sometimes with the door shut, gets to 80. (The cats currently have the master bedroom - that will change someday, but it works for us right now) The hallway is 75, the kitchen right now is 63. You can go from shorts to sweatshirt weather in just a few steps. The non-insulated garden window doesn’t help much with the kitchen temp. I’m hoping that after this week, we can have some more moderate temps outside, like we’re supposed to have. Updated - no, we’re not going to get a break from the cold temps. Damn. This makes me very sad.
I still don’t know what I did to the calendar.
