miribilist and photomonkey have a litter of feral kittens that need homes. I volunteered to take one - I told them "whichever one that photomonkey can catch!" Therefore I do not know if I am getting a male, female, black or black-and-white. But any keetin is a good keetin ( Read more... )

I feel like a whole new person getting actual SLEEP. Thinking back, I must have had apnea for quite some time and just ran on nervous energy. I've gotten more done in the last two DAYS than I have in weeks ( Read more... )

During a discussion on a fashion-related thread about how to avoid thigh-rub when going bare-legged under skirts, talk turned to "pettipants" from the Vermont Country Store. I thought that sounded like a better option than bike shorts (I do NOT want to wear bike shorts when it's 100 degrees outside. That negates the whole point of wearing a skirt ( Read more... )

Starting tonight and going into tomorrow I get to take my in-lab sleep test! Tonight will be the big one where I am wired for sound like a lab rat. At least I get to wear my own jammies and can bring my own pillow. Then tomorrow sounds like real joy - a "multiple nap test" where I get to take short naps all day to see how fast I fall asleep. That ( Read more... )

I still can't make up my mind about my LJ theme. To be more precise, I don't know whether I dislike it enough to go back and change it again ( Read more... )

I update my LJ theme to turn it into a spring theme and get rid of the Christmas one. In March. Haha. I'm so behind. And besides, I like looking at Christmassy stuff. It just didn't feel right with all the flowering trees outside to have Christmas ornaments on my LJ, though ( Read more... )

So the alleged Big Day has come and gone and nothing feels any different except my house smells like cookies. The cats demanded pets and canned food. The dry cleaners had my sweaters ready. (Just think if there HAD been an apocalypse, my poor sweaters would forever have been in limbo. And I'm fond of those sweaters.) It poured down rain, but I don' ( Read more... )

I filled up my tray-style birdfeeder with a "luxury" blend of sunflower seeds, suet nuggets, peanuts and millet and naturally I have a squirrel sitting in the tray chowing down. I don't know if it's the same squirrel or a different one, but there has been a squirrel in there all morning. I think Nutsy's minions have an Occupy Crystal's Bird Feeder ( Read more... )

My old washer (circa 1997) gave up the ghost last week so I decided to replace it and get a new dryer as well. I now have a side-by-side Samsung Energy Star washer-dryer in BRIGHT RED! I will get a nice big fat rebate once I fill in and mail the receipts to PG&E and the water company ( Read more... )

Yes, it's me. I'm having the terrible tendency to disappear for weeks/months at a time. I've been doing some introspection as of why (besides Real Life) and then there was a comment from miribilist saying how happy she was to see me posting (on another LJ). That got me posting. And I want to redo my LJ design, because it's still on the Valentine's Day theme ( Read more... )
