I'll be damned if I get why we can't wear jeans on Friday anymore

That's just not fair.

I have things I'm supposed to be working on, but it's not my fault the client's delays caused the schedule to slip a week. If they'd met the schedule my working a 2-day week this week wouldn't be a problem. Ah, well.

Fuckit. I'm off to Gap to find a new pair of jeans. Ta.

What is even happening?

Calli, I just wanted to cast a late vote in favor of the graham cracker crust for cheesecake. Yum.

The magnet bed is awesome, but I think also maybe scary. I don't know why, just a vague idea in the back of my brain that it mightn't be healthy.

I'd want some serious long-term study into the effects on brain electricity and circulation before sleeping in that strong a magnetic field for any length of time. I know those shoe magnets are supposed to be beneficial, but they have to be several orders of magnitude weaker than what would be needed to suspend a bed.

I just want a bed that doesn't result in numb arms or achy hips when I stay in it too long. Stupid body. Of course, maybe I should just get up, but where is the solace in that?!? The cats certainly don't help. Half the time, I wake up pinned.

I really wonder about zero-g and sleeping. Sometimes that seems ideal, but I also like that heavy sinking feeling as well as the cuddle factor. I am one who could fall asleep in the tub, were it big enough.

So it sounded like a fireworks stand caught fire earlier tonight. Combined with thunder, Devi is freaked. Tomorrow is going to be so fun.

Already getting gubenatorial ads. Want to stab tv. However, considering it flips out when it is over 80 (seems to lose brightness so everything is in red tones) not advisable. Of course, I only paid $40 for it, so.....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Poor Devi.

I am not looking forward to tomorrow night either, even with the kitty prozac.

But I can sleep in?! (well, ok, so I wake up, shoot the cat and then go back to bed.) So why go to bed now? (though I will, shortly.) At least I've shut off the tv.

Devi retreated to the cat carrier (!) so she'd probably ok for now. Lee, maybe dose both of them

Perkins the cat is usually okay with the fireworks, as long as he can hide under the bed, so I don't think I'll need to dose him. If Ozzie goes too nuts, maybe I can hide under the bed too.

Really, my cats suffer loud noises well. Mister Kitty, well, I'm not entirely sure he hears them. If he does, he doesn't care. Devi is my jumpy one (as people can attest- she hides from new people) but her MO is just to retreat and make me feel bad that she's freaked out.

I hope the drugs result in a mellow cat during the explosions, Lee.
