Where's the off switch?

Jun 15, 2013 06:53

I want an off switch on my worry line of thoughts. I want an off switch on my body's aches and pains.Then maybe I won't wake up at 1am and sleep through the night. And no, I wasn't able to go back to sleep.

They're going to tent and fumigate the building in a week. That means rounding up three cats so I can board them. Three cats who are extremely elusive. One is not so bad. The other two? Feh. They live to trick me into thinking they actually don't exist when I need them the most.

On top of that I'm worried about all the things we have to take care of household wise. We'll find out more today. There's a mandatory meeting at 9am. I'm rather worried about how much I can absorb with only 3 hours of sleep under my belt but Mom will be there with me and hopefully they'll have literature.

I do know we'll have to bag ALL our food. Refrigerated, frozen, packaged. The only thing we won't have to bag is the canned food. We'll also have to bag all our cosmetics. I'm planning on taking mine with me to the hotel. I also plan on washing all the clothes and linens once we get back. I have very sensitive skin. I doubt it would be happy with the chemicals.

So not only are we going to have to board our three cats for several nights because we did decide to take them in early. You know, to give us extra time to get them there. We also have to get hotel accommodations for ourselves.

I'd say this is going to be like a mini-vacation except the hotel is right next to the shopping center we hit nearly every weekend. Nothing new about that. It'll still be nice I think. We can walk the mall at night. That'll be new. Maybe we can hit stores we don't normally go to. I just hope we don't spend too much money. This is already costing us a lot of money.

I do wish the mall had a T-Mobile store or kiosk. My phone freaks out when I have the Facebook app installed. I swear it's like a virus.

It's a good thing I'm staying home today. I'm going to need to nap and rest. Three hours of sleep means pain and big time brain fog. Worse then usual. I have a class tomorrow and I hope I'll be okay for it. That's why it's even more important that I rest today.

On a lighter note, I was listening to an audiobook by Julie Kagawa and I started sniffling and crying near the end. So picture me sniveling and still trying to cross-stitch. It wasn't a pretty sight. I'm sure it was a bit comical. The book was "The Iron Queen." There was a lot of hype surrounding the series The Iron Fey. I think it was justified. The romance is passionate, sweet, and tragic. Kagawa provokes so many emotions throughout the course of one book it's hard to enumerate them in just a short paragraph or two and I'm already through with book three. The word I think that describes it best is haunting. There's a sort of haunting beauty about the whole series. I think that when it comes to the fey it's a quality I seek for it to be successful.

You don't want them to be cute or perky or anything too banal like that. Ethereal and haunting is the best I can describe them. Kagawa totally nails it. Except of course for Puck. He's pretty down to earth. I think he'd be the exception to the rule no matter what. As he should be.

Wow. That's almost a review.

Maybe I should start doing reviews again. I don't know. I still feel like I'm too foggy. Was that coherent?
