It’s finally lovely and rainy and grey. I doubt it’ll keep, though. I think it might clear up tomorrow. Bah! I feel like Mad Madame Mim (I love her!): “Shunshine! I hate shunshine!” (Except that it was sunny Sunday, and I did think it was a lovely day. But today’s lovelier.)
I’ve been feeling run down lately. I think it’s because I’ve been staying up too late watching tv and knitting. So tonight I’m going to bed early. And when we went grocery shopping last night I picked up some more Emer’gen-C by Alacer – I hadn’t realized they made a coffee-flavored one. That sounds kind of….ew. I like the raspberry, and last night I got tangerine, and it’s okay. I also picked up some elderberry extract. I feel less sniffly already.
Daoine’s been acting out a lot more lately, and a lot more frequently. I think she’s lonely during the day, and I’ve been waffling on whether she’d be happier with a puppy or a kitten – a puppy might have less territory issues, but a kitten might play more cat-style with her than a puppy might. And then there’s which one she’d be more prone to groom, because she’s gotten very licky lately – one night she groomed the back of my hand for about thirty minutes (I was too out of it on allergy meds to move), and it was somewhat unpleasant because her tongue is rather rough. Especially when it’s licking the same place, forcefully, over and over and over and over. It was kinda sweet, though. Anyway, it was decided when Greg announced that he’s mulled it over and a kitten is more his speed, since they don’t have to be walked and whatnot. So, we’re getting a kitten. Eventually. There are still some preparations to be made.
Last night I worked some more on the Shapely Tank. I’ve started the chest shortrows. And Amy came over for wrestling (as did Michel, Lance, and Angelique), and the knitting club is under way. I’m excited about it! And Michel’s taking a bread baking class, and brought over some very yummy whole wheat sourdough bread, that she baked up, and we ate. And she’s going to give me a recipe for sourdough starter, and I am psyched.
