1 More Day

Well it is finally Saturday which means that Sonja comes home to me tomorrow. I am excited because it is pretty boring here by yourself for 10 days. You can only play so much Mario Kart by yourself. Today started super early, and no it wasn't from a call back, but instead a super annoying and needy cat. She was relentless this morning, from 4 until sometime after 5 when she finally got lost. She kept meowing and walking back and forth above my head between both sides of the bed. It was the most frustrated I have ever been with this cat. I would say she is lucky to still be alive, because it was that close. I don't like being licked and clawed when I am trying to sleep. Even when I would toss her and lay her at the bottom of the bed she would still make her way back to my face to bug me. However I am not sure if this was a dream because I also was talking about it in a dream I had after she let me get back to sleep. Who knows. It was probably real because I usually don't get annoyed in my dreams.

After getting back to sleep I slept until 8:30 when my alarm went off and went to work. The doctor told me yesterday that he had some blood work to do so I went to get it done and to enjoy the rest of my day. I was back in half an hour or so. It's nice when what you go back for is quick and painless like that. I came home and watched some TV and got the grocery list ready for this week. After that I went to the store and bought food. It is a lot harder shopping by yourself for a few reasons, A) I don't take a cart when I shop. This is because then if I load up a cart how am I to know for sure if I can carry everything myself, so shopping without means if I can carry it to the till, then it will make it home with me. Its also cheaper and resists impulse shopping more, since I also usually go hungry. B) It is tough to know what the other person who will be eating the food with you wants to eat, so its really just a guessing game. I came home from shopping and discovered I missed stuff in the list making process, so I guess its back to the store tomorrow, another downside to not using a cart because most of the time everything is precariously perched and you want to get to the till quickly. Anyway I came home and put the groceries away and did the dishes. After they were done I went to relax with some more TV, when the phone rang, so it was back to work for me. I don't mind this because its good money, broke up my day by myself and keeps me busy. However nothing happened since then. I made supper which was a grilled buffalo chicken sandwich, and yes it was as good as it sounds. But that is the summary of my day. No real plans for the rest of the night.

Oh yesterday it poured most of the day. It was real foggy and when the ferry went by at 12:30 it felt the need to blow its horn. It was real cool. It sounded like i guess you would imagine a fog horn sounding but after it was done being blown, it still echoed all the way down the channel for another twenty seconds. There was also a heron fishing at the edge of the water just down from the deck. It was cool to see him so close because he has been hanging around the waterfront for a week and a half now and this was the closest I have seen him.
