...when you are procrastinating getting up and taking a shower, and just when you're finally about to, your roommate does.
Shame on you Angelica, SHAME.
In other news: Yesterday was awesome.
I woke up in a such a happy mood and then I was deleriously happy for like the first two hours at work (then I just sort of went back to regular feeling). I just felt so glad to have so much done. Started my commission, had our inspection, made those recordings for stephan, working, figuring out my endgame and having turned in my visa application and my passport...I felt like I was free to just be happy!! I thought, wow, I can't remember the last time I felt so UTTERLY happy for reasons that had nothing whatso-ever to do with romance.
And then I thought, maybe it WAS slightly to do with romance. But not related to scotto at all.
Those of you who know me well know how I feel about my cat Oblio. Some of my friends are weirded out by it because they are like "He is a cat." and I am like, yeah I know. But he's also kind of a person, sort of. Not like he's a human...just like he's kind of a person.
And I don't love him like ooh, creepy, bestiality, blerrrgh my mind is getting creeped out thinking about that.
I'm just a little bit in love with him, that's all. He is so handsome and so sweet.
And night before last, he was being very cuddly before bed, in the BEST way. It was, to be honest, not that different from how it would be settling in to fall sleep with a lover or a companion of some sort. He lay next to me, but not too close, and purred quietly, and reached out a paw to touch my arm, got a few pets from me, and then turned around in a circle and settled in to sleep with his back to me. And I felt loved and I felt happy.
I don't really think that's THE reason I was so happy yesterday...but going to sleep in a romantically content mood could definitely be a contributing factor.
ON A RELATED NOTE:
Yesterday I felt inspired by this, and posted on FB to ask if anyone would like to take Oblio while I'm in Japan. And got a response. Talked to this guy who I used to work with at Dux who was excited about the idea, and he knows all about Oblio already, having heard about him from Christina, who Oblio lived with last winter. Single apartment in Eugene. No other pets. Furniture from goodwill and he says he spends lots of time at home and wants an indoor cat. Temporary.
I'm feeling optimistic :-)
