It's all the non-work stuff I have to do, though I have work stuff as well. My rent check is late, and some other bills, and my place is a shithole, and my animals need their flea meds (Frankie needs a bath and a couple of days first), and the litter boxes need cleaning (hence the peeing on the dog bed) and and and...

Life. Tiring.

Tom, interesting. I haven't actually read the book, though I've meant to for years.

Yeah, with the rain and such around here today, it was good couch colonizing weather, smonster. I spent a lot of time on mine, too.

Really, sleep is the one thing I haven't neglected.

I'm glad to hear it, but even if you have regularly gotten 8 hours of sleep every night, because of the stress of changing jobs I still contend that your body needs extra rest. Plus, as I understand it, your new job is more physically demanding, which means you are processing more body fuel (whether by eating or by going through fat stores) as well as doing the work of building muscle. And let us not forget all the poison ivy that your body needs to heal from. Healing and building muscle and dealing with stress are all tough jobs for our bodies, that really do require extra rest to accomplish.

Yes, that is true.

I have showered, fed the animals, called my landlady back, and got a pep talk from my friend Nancy.

Next three things: make and eat dinner, scoop cat pans, write rent check.

Nothing yet, Anne. I'll check again in a bit.

Am preheating oven to bake salmon, moved laundry to dryer and started another load, and taken my prednisone. Will tidy kitchen while oven finishes preheating.

Huh, Anne, still nothing. Maybe it went to spam, but can't check that on my iPhone.

Ate and am watching Fantastic Mr. Fox with roommate while I fold clothes.

See, smonster? You're already waaaaaay ahead of me. I have *counts* FOUR baskets of laundry I could fold, but I don't wanna. Hates folding clothes, I does.
