I'm sitting on the couch surfing the internet with my feet up. I have walked my new nephew BabyL to sleep and he"s dreaming warmly on my shoulder. My kitty came and settled down on my lap, gradually stretching out along the length of my thighs with her legs hanging over my legs.

The McLandsborough called me after his early morning dentist appointment today. I was still in bed attempting to stay asleep in order to avoid The Great 2009 Before-School Purge and Cleaning of the Rooms.
