Details of the Day - Miscellaneous.
Mar. 5th, 2009 10:04 pm- 23:15 Poor sick husband is *still* sick. And beginning to get cranky about the whole thing.
- 12:07 Most of my chapters have been 3-6k words. This one is *14*k. What was I *thinking*??
- 13:39 "Cat, what is best in life?" "To lurk behind my human and pounce on her braid as she does sit-ups."

Details of the Day - Signs of the Times
Feb. 17th, 2009 10:03 pm- 11:10 Local law firms are laying off lawyers (at least 2 firms are clients). No wonder we've been having less business.
- 11:12 Oops. Link to news story re lawyers: ping.fm/jnnU4
- 16:23 It's been warm enough to open the back porch window for the cats. Reminded, they restlessly inspect all windows.
- 17:52 Anyone local want a coupon for a free 2-liter bottle of Diet Dr. Pepper? I thought it was regular. Don't want diet.
Details of the Day - Home from Wisconsin
Feb. 4th, 2009 01:37 am- 20:42 Made it home from Wisconsin, despite deer-slain headlight. Foundling even came out to say hello, instead of hiding for 3 hours.
- 23:05 It so happens I've got plenty of cardboard and 2 cats. This might be good: ping.fm/cTIn4
- 23:25 Ugh. New Gmail buttons are slower. Annoying.
- 16:56 Foundling stands on his hind legs and wraps his paws around the door handle when he wants to leave a room. So cute!

Details of the Day
Oct. 5th, 2008 11:22 pm- 03:16 Party died at 3:15 AM, due to tired hostess kicking people out after host collapsed prematurely. Am pleased with how event went.
- 03:23 I am exhausted. I should never mock Phil again for how wiped out he is post-party. He's usually the one with the up-till-it-ends duty.
- 03:23 Tomorrow, there will be Bacon.
- 10:23 Despite waking up at 9AM, am feeling okay due to painkiller. Copious amounts of water and bacon should complete the recovery process.
- 10:24 Later, there will be naps.
- 11:21 Hadn't even got to the bacon when I heard water noises in the basement. Good: not the sewer. Bad: 2" standing water I had to mop up.
- 12:06 Bacon, eggs, toast, and a slice of cantaloupe. Perfect post-party breakfast!
- 12:59 Basement flood chased a 4-INCH-LONG centipede up into our living room. Girl kitty was pissed when I took her toy away.
- 13:14 Good lord! It's a panda vomiting Flickr photos: ping.fm/biDMP
- 15:06 Phil roused just enough to stare blearily at the basement while I was mopping it up, and now he's napping again. Bastard.
- 15:41 Now have frozen 3 large jars of sumo soup, plus 2 of borscht. Wondering why my subconscious is encouraging food-hoarding.
- 16:16 Heh. We ended with roughly the same amount of beer in our fridge as we started with.
- 17:39 Dinner: sumo soup, buttered toast, and a Strongbow cider. Aw, yeah.
- 21:41 Oh, right. Sleep. I didn't do much of that last night.

Sep. 20th, 2008 11:08 pm- 23:12 Every time I see my cat curled up in his basket in my study it makes me smile.

Jul. 16th, 2008 11:05 pm- 06:52 Weather forecast + ominous clouds = not a good day for biking to/from work.
- 14:32 The cats are of the opinion that in this weather, the only thing to do is to sprawl over any cool surface and nap. It's hard to disagree.
- 15:59 Just picked a pint of sun-warm raspberries from my backyard. Feeling decadent.

Jul. 1st, 2008 11:19 pm- 10:24 My knee always hurts after Dr's follow-up visits. He twists and pulls and digs his thumb *right into the scar*. Owww.
- 12:02 Poll: What's the nastiest food-taste combination you can think of? Pondering artificial cherry-onion-fish.
- 13:21 The cats are on the bed. They look very comfortable.... No! Must. Resist. Food. Crash.
- 14:19 Scheduled Dr. visit 6 months in advance. Oddly, I had my pick of times!
- 15:21 May have to watch "I Survived A Japanese Game Show" (ABC, 8PM). Taking US reality show contestants and surprise! switch to Japan? Hilarious!
- 18:08 Computer is refusing to recognize my Sansa MP3 player => I can't sync to it. Which is pissing me off *beyond description*. It worked ...
- 18:32 Now MP3 player is working. I think. *But I don't know why!*
- 21:19 Overall a good day, but non-working technology pisses on the whole parade. I *hatehatehate* when things won't work right.
