This Monday is chock full of Tino, it seems.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Which is why, besides having an alarm clock, I have the alarm on my Fitbit set as a drop-dead, you must get the fuck out of bed or else. It's also a reminder, when I get up on time, to get out of the comfy chair and into the shower.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was also late. I hit snooze every 10 minutes from 5 am - 8 am. I don't know what possesses me to do that. I should not have gone back to bed at 4am when I woke up.
ETA: What I really need is for someone to yell at me until I get up, I think. I don't even get up if the cat is poking me and meowing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ginger, is it okay if I share your confederate flag FB post on my page?

Yes, Lee. It's one of the rare posts I made public.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Just to add to the joy of the weekend, a vet appointment for Chumley involved words like 'palliative' and pretty much the vet outright said that there's little point in heroic measures. So we're pretty much in Kitty Hospice mode now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Aw, Theo, I'm sorry. That's so hard.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh Theo, serial difficulties suck, and I'm sorry.
Yelling at people to get up is bad for my personal calm, and I won't do it. Because not only is it unrewarding for me (what do I get out of it?), but rather than thanks, I get curses and things flung at me. /teenaged boys. So, no thank you.
I have to say, in college I had the top bunk, and my roommate watched me climb over the foot onto the dresser, down onto the chair, walk across the room and turn off the alarm, cross back to the chair, to the dresser, and back into bed. I accused her of shutting off the alarm--I never remembered doing it. I still keep the alarm clock across the room because if I can shut it off from bed, I won't get up.
Also, previously mentioned teenaged boy's waking was put firmly in his own lap. He elected to find the loudest windup alarm clock, with the bells on top. We called it his cluck, because it didn't tick-tock, it clucked. And it worked, most of the time.
