The rains are back... just in time for me to return to work. Fuck, a week goes by really fast when you barely sleep and spend all your energy stressing about roommates.
Sigh.
Kelly moved in. ^_^ We barely get to see her, though, because she works day shift and is usually sleeping or at work by the time one of us gets in. She seems to be enjoying it. Thus far, the cats are completely unaware of the rat... which is good. Because, you know, we don't want to be responsible for her pet dying.
Birthday went well. I spent the day rearranging furniture with Andy. Doesn't sound exciting, but I love the concept of sort of starting... anew... you know? New chapter, time to get some things hashed out.
And in it all, we got to make a place for this:
My camera could never do this picture justice. It's a cat tree, that Andy painted for me, with a couple of gnomes smoking out of a hookah underneath the tree. According to him, the male gnome is telling the female about this crazy cat tree that he saw earlier... but he couldn't remember where it was or if he had hallucinated it. Apparently, gnomes get so high they forget that they're sitting underneath it.
I dig it, anyway.
I slept so little all vacation that it caught up to me last night. I ended up passing out at 10 pm... which, you know, seeing as I work at 11 tonight... is bound to throw me off a little bit.
So, I'm just going to try to get by today on a nap or two and relaxation. I'm not too worried about much of anything these days. Drama's gone out my front door (likely never to return in the form of B), and everything is alright. The house is clean, the cats are fat, and the rain is pouring.
Yep, everything is o.k.
And the nights will belong to me again.
