I literally fell asleep in the hot tub yesterday afternoon, until my phone buzzed & dinged because T sent some text messages. I don't think I've ever fallen asleep in the hot tub before? That sounds dangerous, although maybe it isn't, maybe people wake up immediately upon drowning? Yeah, I barely slept Friday night because of the anticipation of ( Read more... )

T is still asleep, but I will have to get out of bed no later than 7am to do the remaining chores, eat breakfast, sequester cats, prepare for my commute, etc ( Read more... )

Finished work, for now.  I'll chill for a bit and then get ready for sleep ( Read more... )

OK, got up early, took T to the airport, now he's out of my hair for three weeks (again).  Oh, my upcoming Saturday Game Day is now down four people from last time, mainly because people are traveling or hosting visitors themselves.  It is July, traditional vacation time in this Northern Hemisphere.  I wish I could see everybody's schedules on some ( Read more... )

I usually post more often when I'm relaxing with my toys ( Read more... )
