My Life Thus Far

Bath, Bed, Book

***

I'm tired. I would have written earlier (so I could have
attempted to go to sleep earlier), but I got distracted by
myspace, sending Jason e-mails and surfing pregnancy
websites. But, I'm going now. I've become accustomed to my
new evening ritual (bath, bed, book). I think I'll try to
keep it up after Jason gets home. Even if I can't sleep
soundly, at least I'm relaxed instead of thrashing around
all night.

I got most of my projects done today. Everything but
putting the laundry away. I hate putting laundry away,
we've got too much of it and nowhere to put it. If I had
more closet space, I wouldn't have such a problem putting
clothes away. As it is now, I'm using half of the master
bedroom closet (which is nothing) and one of the two
closets in Annie's room (we're still not sure why she's
got two closets in her room). Still, it isn't enough.
Annie needs a bigger dresser, Kiki needs more closet space
(and she's going to have to share with the baby soon).
It's ridiculous.

Kiki went to sleep in her new big girl bed no problem. She
was so excited when she saw it. She wanted to put her
pajamas on at 4pm! That was so nice to see. I was scared
she'd have a hard time adjusting. Her crib has been
reassembled (as a crib) and sanitized. She knows it's not
hers anymore. It's the baby's. She helped me wipe it
clean. I'm so proud of her.

Annie was a huge help getting the other projects done. She
did all the dirty work getting the cat room done. I'm not
taking any chances with Toxoplasmosis. This baby has
enough stacked against it as it is. Now Zeus and Zoe have
a HUGE litter box, with a door flap and a vent on top. I
got them a squishy mat that removes litter from their
paws. It's great. I hope they like it. Someone has used it
already. I saw some litter on the mat.

Okay. I'm ready for my bath now. Ciao and goodnight.

~~ADDENDUM~~

I just finished my evening bath. I feel pleasantly relaxed
and slightly drowsy, although not as sleepy as you'd
expect for it being 1am. I came out to the computer to
check for e-mails from Snookums (there were none).
However, I did get one from a transvestite named Laura,
who I find to be quite delightful :) So much of the time,
you endure me complaining about my pain and suffering.
Well, right now I feel WONDERFUL! My back isn't hurting,
my neck isn't sore, I don't have heartburn or a rock on my
chest. I feel good. There, it isn't always bad news when
you read my diary! But, don't get used to it. I'll
probably wake up feeling like shit.

Oh! I wanted to share something very strange, but special
with you. It has to do with Courtney. Our goldfish. If you
couldn't tell, I've become very attached to Courtney.
After saving her life and all. Well, today I caught Zoe on
the kitchen counter, looking into Courtney's tank. I
immediately did my alpha cat hiss and Zoe jumped down, but
on her way down she kicked the tank and knocked the lid
off. Water splashed out, so I went in to clean it up and
replace the lid. We'll, when I looked in, Courtney was
nowhere to be found! I was surprised by my reaction. I
nearly started crying. I assumed Zoe had SOMEHOW gotten
ahold of her and eaten her. She wasn't dead from illness,
because there was no body. I pulled up the plants, moved
around the rocks, no Courtney. So, I accepted her apparent
fate and started cleaning up. I turned off the tank light,
unplugged the filter and just as I was doing that, guess
who came swimming out of the filter! Just as alive as
ever. So, somehow Courtney has figured out that the carbon
filter in her tank is a nice place to live. Despite the
bubbles coming out and having to swim against the current
to get in. She's spent most of her afternoon in there, but
she did come out for dinner and a few laps around her
tank.

Alright, that's all. I need to go to bed now. It's after
1am and I should be going to sleep. Probably I'll read for
the next hour... or two, or three. Whatever. Ciao until
tomorrow.
