I am annoyed because once again my sister has gone out of town to see her "boyfriend" and left me with all the household chores and caring for her animals. plus i have to go to my 1 year old cousin's birthday party.

suppose i should get up and take a shower and prepare for the day, but i would much rather sit here on my couch and sulk.

Send the animals to the birthday party while you take the day off. And be sure to save her some chores.

tempting.

my sister and i have very different ways of doing things. this boyfriend of her's was supposed to come here last weekend, but instead he went out and got too drunk and didn't even call her to tell her where he was or what happened for, like, twelve hours after he should have been here. now, for the third time she's taking money she doesn't have to drive four hours to go see him. i just. don't. get it! she's making me crazy and if i say any of this to her she'll just act more like a teenager than she already is and want to see hime more.

I got up at a not-unreasonable hour (I've been sleeping way too late the past bunch of weekends) went out and got my hair cut, wandered the mill town, went to my favorite gallery there,bought a bronze fruitbat skull that will eventually be a dad gift, drove all over, erranded and grocery shopped. Only chore that's left is laundry, and that's tomorrow.

May go up to TJ's for some inspiration later. My eating habits have gotten so very boring.

And I can't believe how much I spent on the skull. I've been coveting it ever since it appeared over a year ago. I finally decided what the hell. It may live with me a while before it becomes a gift.

I've still got to do laundry and figure out my meals for the week. I think I'll make stirfry for tonight and tomorrow, then lentil soup for the next few days, then cauliflower lentil curry for the few days after that.

...there are many things I could be doing (shopping for various things, exploring Seattle). Several things I probably should be doing (gym, cooking healthy food, cleaning). But nothing pressing...and I don't even have the oomph to go get coffee, yet. Though I have now showered and dressed. That's a start, right?

It's very quiet here on the intarwebs, though...I'm all caught up...whatever to do?

TJs is in my future too. Ugh.

I got up early, played with Noah. Made sweet potatoes and steamed zucchini for his dinners. Then yoga, out for breakfast (ate too much) and visited Grace. Now baby's napping and I may go to a second yoga class at 2:30 with baby.

I have 3 square canvases that I want to hang in the living room (here they are). The problem is we don't really have a space for them. We have this weird window into the dining room that takes up a big chunk of the wall.To put them below the space would have them almost on the couch. Above the TV is wrong. I need help.

Also! My armenian grocery store has turned into a glatt market! Like overnight! Which would be fine, but I was all confused. And there are a ton of Israeli products (mostly beauty stuff) that wasn't there before.

I'm still in my pajamas and trying to decide if I should get dressed and go see Iron Man today or wait and hope it will be less crowded tomorrow.

I managed to wake up earlier in time to take my meds on schedule, which is good. I guess I could maybe get out of bed in general too.

I didn't know what glatt meant, and googling took me here. I'm not aware of any other religions being not only that stringent in dietary rulings, but also--it's treated like law, with precedents, etc. Truly complex.

Okay. Getting vertical. Obtaining food, even.
