And Now I Know

First, a funny: What if Microsft redesigns the iPod package?

There were times Mother would wake up and complain about hip soreness. I believe I know the cause: the cat. You can't move around the cat. Instinctively you don't roll, don't move, as you normally would during sleep. Of course, on especially cold nights, since the cat has shown a desire to sleep on top of me, be it a chest, a leg, a hip, an arm, it's no wonder aches would surface with a new day. I told the cat we may need to get a bigger bed. It's about noon, expecting Vegas in about four hours or so.

Need to eat and get some more things sorted out. I had a dream about sleep and cold nights. Grandmother, Mother and Father all made appearances. I offered assurances I was plenty warm. Except my feet, they were getting cold in the dream since I hadn't put socks on. There was a point last night where I actually reduced my sleep wear for comfort. Between the blankets reflecting my body heat and the cat against my back as well, I was more than sufficiently warm. Fed the fish, cleaned up cat barf. Not sure why she barfed her food last night but she's done that before immediately after eating on occasion. She had hacked a bit before she went to eat, it was probably just a reflex. Will give her more hair ball ointment.

I did some calculations before drifting off, it'll be a few thousand to get the house properly addressed, trimmed out and so forth inside. Not so bad as it could be. Tis a shame, of course, that it wasn't all ready for market but what home is? Having seen so many changes by one set of owners over 30 years, it wasn't going to happen here. I feel blessed it's in the shape it is. Not bless, maybe, since so much was effort I put in. Thankful, perhaps.
