dchenesI thought Friday would never get here, but it seems to have defied all expectations and showed up anyway. Thank goodness. It's not just me, either; it seems like everybody who has any opinion at all about this week thinks it's been going on for way too long. In my own particular case, I blame Tuesday. It should have been Friday immediately after Tuesday night.
I can't decide whether to be amused or annoyed by the fact that every time I woke up last night to extract my foot from underneath a cat so I could roll over, the cat in question was Snip and she was snoring. I did know that she snores when she curls up very tightly and turns her head upside down, but I didn't know she could do it all night. At least it fell within the realm of "occasional noises I recognize enough to sleep through", instead of "occasional noises that keep me awake wondering what the hell it is". (Although there was a period of the latter category last night too; it sounded like water dripping off the roof onto the kitchen window, but it didn't rain last night as far as I know.)
Tomorrow is New Smoke Detector Day, because apparently they get cranky when they get old and the warranties on most of them expired in 2002 or so. I'm in favor of anything that keeps me from having to track down which of the nine or so options is being a chirpy little bastard THIS time. On Wednesday, the energy audit people are coming. They're probably going to suggest programmable thermostats, which I'm in favor of, but they can't have my (low-flow from before they were ubiquitous) showerhead. So there. I like being able to rinse shampoo out of my hair in something under five minutes.
What color stockings does one wear with a matte-finish black satin cocktail dress, in late November?
