Guess whose alarm was not set for when she thought it was this morning? Fortunately, not a disaster.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Monday needs to knock this shit off, man.

There is snow in the mountains. But my house holds heat well, so I won't worry about turning on the furnace yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Sounds like SOMEBODY's got a case of the Mondays! Or everybody.
My house in Frederick has sold, for $27,000 LESS than the bank was asking, and $173,000 less than we paid. I'm floored. There doesn't seem to be any kind of housing recovery there, or prices were that far out of whack. It's still mind-boggling, and cements my decision to walk away from it. There was no way I was ever going to be on the right side of that in my lifetime.
Holy crap. You definitely made the right call.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I got to work it was 58 inside our office, as someone had left the thermostat in A/C mode over the weekend. I'm drinking tea and wearing three shirts, so I'm OK.

Do not want to be awake and working. I probably shouldn't have been reading until 1am this morning. But books!
Had a busy but good weekend. Got my tush out of the house both days, trying to break my hermit/depression tendencies. The depression has been building again lately and I'm trying hard to not let it paralyze me.

Wow, Maria. Yeah. good choice.
My plans tonight involve leftovers, my couch, and TV.
That sounds great! I am torn between spending some post-work daylight hours working in the yard while I can (ie, while it's not scorching hot and also not dark and/or raining) and catching up on my TV watching. We'll see how the day goes.

Jackson is a perfect bedroom cat—quiet, relatively still, basically he's just a furry purring lump on the bed until I actually get up, at which point meowing for food begins. If Molly could behave like that instead of racing around clawing at things throughout the night I'd just leave my bedroom door open and let both of them sleep in my room.

We now let the cats and the dog sleep in the bedroom, and it is working out okay because now we really only have one floor, except for the finished basement, but the critters don't like to go down there because, you know, where the people are is where they want to be.
The cats sleep with us, but Arthur isn't allowed on furniture; he sleeps on the dog bed.
ION, M's bar mitzvah went absolutely wonderfully. He did such a wonderful job, and we are so proud of him, and everything went well as far as M's mother's family being cordial was concerned; everyone was polite and friendly, and it was actually a much more pleasant experience than I expected.
Also (in shallow news) I was the best dressed person there, so with regards about my freaking out about my outfits, I didn't need to worry about it, because people looked much more casual than i expected, especially several women -- including M's mom. It was not my idea of dressy at all, so I felt really good about looking appropriately dressed and nice.
So thanks for the advice guys, I really appreciate it and it made me feel very confident.
Also, I've never been in a synagogue before or witnessed Jewish services, & I thought they were just lovely and I enjoyed myself immensely. It was a wonderful experience all around.
