Where'd the day go?

Whew, I am one tired puppy. I've usually managed to find SOME time during the day these past few weeks, to get in here and blog a bit. But today kept me pretty occupied with one thing or another.

Busy at Work

Stayed pretty busy for most of the morning at work... then was surprised with an offer to join Mom and Pop for lunch at Bambino's (can ya guess what kind of cuisine they offer?) which has HUGE portions, so I had leftovers for dinner.

A Friend in Need

Then another friend of mine, whom I call My Aussie, cuz... well, I think it's rather self explanatory... popped in to chat and we talked for most of the afternoon. Our chats are usually pretty sporadic... sometimes we'll talk every day for a few weeks, then I don't hear from him for months. But we don't usually go for too long without talkin. We have an interesting friendship that I will try to get in here to talk more about tomorrow cuz I'm just WAAAYYY too tired tonight. But I will say I honestly believe that about 60% of the time he comes talk to me is when he needs to get his head set back straight. Both of them. *ahem*

Sci-Fi Friday

Amway, tonight was Sci-Fi and Med. Inv. night, so I barely had time to get my workout done and dinner heated up before it was time to sit down and do some serious tv-watchin. So now is the first opportunity I've had to blog.

Random items:

Saw some hot-air balloons out flyin on my home from work today. I think they've got some races comin up soon... happens every year... usually pretty spectacular to watch. I'll have to look up when those will be running.

Ms. Pukesalot has been all kinds of (un)helpful in my workouts these last few days. I'd forgotten what's it's like trying to exercise on the floor with a feline in residence... playing with my hair, getting under foot/leg/arm/etc. and then protesting indignantly when I inevitably bop her with whatever body part currently in motion.

I caught a flee on the recliner tonight. Joy. I haven't had problems with flees since... well, since I've been in Misery, actually. I'm gonna look for some Boric Acid tomorrow... I recently discovered it's a natural insecticide/repellent. I like the idea of natural... I'm always nervous setting out poison cuz it can be dangerous to the cat... not to mention me. And I far prefer the prospect of discouraging the li'l buggers from comin around in the first place, rather than killing them after the fact. Oh, and I need to look for some flea treatment for Ms. Pukesalot, too. I've only seen the one so far, but I know those suckers can get outta hand quickly... and she HAS been scratchin a bit more than usual, now that I think on it.

Okay, I think that's it for tonight. Will be in for more this weekend. Sometime between running errands, chores around the apt., washing clothes, paying bills, looking for some misc. stuff I wanna buy online to get ready for my trip, more exercise, bakin some bread, visiting IHOP Buddy, watchin some Netflix movies with Mom, and Family Sunday Dinner. Whew.

G'night. :)
