werk!
being alone is so odd. jake and i are always together, always. we rarely do things apart and i miss him. what i notice, though, is that i don't eat meals, except for breakfast, and that i push myself to do more when he isn't around. i worry that i take advantage of him, letting him run around and do errands for me. ya know?
i got two ott-lights for 100 bucks, a desk one and a standing one and i put the desk one next to my bed to see if it was any better, because i do a lot on the bed, prep-wise, etc. at first, i thought it was making my eyes go funny, like a regular florescent light, but actually, i think my eyes are just trying to get used to it. i am really sensitive to lighting. if i shop at a big box store that has floro lights, i tend to get bad headaches. i didn't really sleep last night and then woke up when the sun came up, actually feeling rather energetic. i wondered if it was the light. i know that might sound dumb, but i just don't tend to wake up early and have enough energy to get up at 6:30 and make some coffee and cereal.
in izzy news, she has been pretty wild. she figured out how to climb up one of the scratchers (as well as using it to scratch on) like spidergirl, and does that with the bed, too. she got up on the scratcher and got onto the window sill and looked out the window. she really is just all over the place. and what else? i found her in the bathroom sleeping next to pavel's socky. a sec later, pavel came in, i thought he would freak out, he doesn't like anyone, even us, touching his socky, but he not only didn't get mad at izzy but he laid down next to her...about a foot away. izzy thinks pavel is very cool, clearly, and he seems to like her following him around. cute. it would be nice for him to have a cat friend. plus, he doesn't pee everywhere like peeps does, he is really good in that respect, so he would be a good cat role model for izzy.
so, i finished some yarn orders, packed stuff up, went to the post office, popped into the craft store to get some things there to do more beaded poppies (i have loads). i think i would to do a poppy scarf that is almost solid poppies. maybe on a lace scarf or a silk scarf or fabric. dunno. it would be expensive because it would take a lot of time, but it would be a showstopper.
i am being attacked by the kitten and typing is a challenge. i am going to sign off before i freak out. oh, i finished a couple of standing amigurumi and felt birdies that i will take photos of to-morrow. woooooot!
headache. sleepy. going. going. gone.
