That is not very pink. Probably looks more pink on a pink tablecloth?

Kitchen clean up is progressing slowly, but progressing. I am discouraged because the next thing I wanted to cook, two ingredients are still frozen despite thawing in the fridge since yesterday. They are thawing in the sink now, maybe that will be faster.

I'm trying to catch up on my TiVo, but Grey's is too much angst and drama for me.

Attack of the naps. After a large cup of coffee. I can't even blame the cats, even though I woke up with Pumpkin snoring on my head and Loki ottering on my torso. Didn't even feel them jump up.

Soon as I stop yawning and shake off the sleep, going to go swim. Signs seem dubious for tomorrow. Maybe early.

Well, sure! If you highlight the pink! I did find some white linens, and will probably use those more.

Ply has suddenly decided that she likes sleeping in my armpit with her head on my shoulder. It is adorable and eventually uncomfortable. When I moved she took off back to the end of the bed and it took me a while to coax her back up. I think she's quite happy with me no longer kicking her as I toss and turn, with the added bonus of scritchies within easy reach. Only took her a decade to remember this (as a kitten she used to sleep in the curve of my neck, but she was too tiny and I kept rolling on top of her).

Drawback: it's hard to sleep with her purring right in my face.

Still, adorable.

Bills are paid! That was relatively painless (emotionally, actual money going out was kind of a lot as I forgot that the bill for work I had done on the car in January was coming due).

I think I am washing dishes a little faster than I am generating more dishes that need to be washed. It's hard to tell for sure.

Huge, huge thanks to msbelle and sarameg for their help this weekend. And sara's right: I don't feel like I'm all that packed. In fact, I'm still slightly shellshocked and overwhelemed.

I also had an attack of the naps. From 11-3. Looks like I will be awake late into the night.

Kat, I'm so glad you persisted and got treatment. Many healing vibes to you.

I am home! it is sleeting and getting messy on the roads.

Packing was fun and yes, quite a lot got done, but everything is now unsettled and a mess, so understandably the feeling of not all that packed.

FTR, I no longer believe that...

...is at all likely. But I've got salad made (roasted beet and hard boiled eggs per the recipe, plus blue cheese because what's a salad without cheese? And now it's as patriotic as the 1812 Overture on July 4th) and a beef and mushroom concoction and the waffle iron is ready to be used, so I am getting somewhere even if that somewhere is nowhere near a clean kitchen.

Oscar red carpet!!! starting.
