To Don't List

Today was my day off. I love having a day off in the middle of the week for a change! I decided to run errands - PetsMart, groceries, pick up paycheck, Walgreens, deal with my student loan situation, and CLEAN! Somehow I managed to spend about $50.00 at PetsMart buying cat and fish food and cat litter, and just a couple small presents for the cats at Tree House and for my own. I bought Allie this super cool heating pad filled with buckwheat that can be microwaved. It is so cute to see her snuggle with it! I think that because she is so old her circulation is poor and she is actually cold most of the time. She has been sitting in the wet bath tub after I shower in the morning I think to absorb some of the heat that is in there. In the winter she sticks her face in the radiator. Harrison and Adat got a few catnip toss toys and a little stuffed animal lamb. Cute!

After PetsMart and the Dollar Store I decided to head home. I called Sallie Mae, then realized that I was about halfway through my To Do list, so I decided to sit down to read. This is never a good idea if I have stuff to do. Of course I fell asleep, and by the time I woke up Dave was off work and it was time for me to pick him up. I did manage to get a few more things done this evening, but no groceries or clean apartment today. Oh well.

I've been fighting a bad mood for the last two days or so, which makes me not want to write in the blog or do much of anything. I think it's good for me to do so nonetheless and to just plunge into life instead of avoiding things, which is what I tend to do.

Luckily I have a full weekend planned. My massage I teacher is going to tutor me at his private practice on Saturday. I'm bringing Dave as my client. Sunday Dave and I are getting together with my co-worker, Elizabeth and her husband, Adam to have a potluck at their house and to spend time with their five cats. I was surprised and delighted to have also received a phone call from Shannon, a girl I had met in the neighborhood a couple of months ago who wants to go to the Drawing Workshop on Sunday! I haven't been for a couple of weeks, so it'll be good, and I REALLY like Shannon and her husband, Rob, and think they'd be really cool to get to know. She is an architect and he just got out of grad. school for microbiology or something.

Anyway, that's about all that's going on here. I'm enjoying my book, but I forget what it's called. A friend loaned it to me. By the way, I'm taking suggestions for good books to read if anyone has any ideas. I'm a big fiction lover, but good non-fiction and biographies are fine too. I've been craving a good biography.

All for now.
