The ferrets are: sleeping, as all intelligent creatures are at oh-one-fucking-thirty. Weather: who cares, probably raining Reading: Listening to in the car: So I am still awake. Mostly it's because I am fretting about the new house. We have set a move-in date of February 28. We are not packed, except for some odds and ends, including the fiction. I am thinking that I want to have painted walls but am scared about painting because I have little experience andmight mess it all up or some of my helpers might and we mgith get paint on the carpet amd everything is all new and perfect but will it still be after I have attempted to paint? I might could get a quart of purple (yes, PURPLE!!!) and start with just the utility room. If I screw that up then I can forget the rest. And I am thinking about coming up with nearly $1200 every month for the rest of my working life. I almost wrote "waking life," and that is well, yeah. ANd then there are other reasons not to be asleep. I have alternating nostril disease, you now, where one nose plugs up, so you roll over and the other nose plugs up. ANd Gregg dint;' take enough Neurontin and his restless leg syndrome is kicking in. Get it? Kicking in. I keep getting prodded and scratched by his errant feet. ANd his exhaust makes the back of my neck cold and today I had a migraine and the migraine or the medicine or maybe both majes me feel weird. ANd I have to getup in less then three hours and sometimes that makes me feel pressure to sleep, which is never the right approach to sleep. And there is a souund in my head all the time that doesn't help too neither. It is like traffic nosie like when Gregg liced by the freeway and I would go over there and sleep with him only I would hear the traffic al night. It's like taht. It's like the ocean, too, only the pitch is a fourth higher, so it doesnt' sound right for an ocean. I am going to ask the shrink about it incase it's from the medicine. And another thing. TOmorrow, I mean today, darn it, I am going to the shrink. For some reason that makes me be awake. I have seen him before, of course, so it's not like I am breaking in a new doctor. I do not want to complain about my various little problems as his solution involvews more dope. Medicine. That stuff. I am dopey enough as it is. I do want to look into getting Strattera for my ADD. It helps other people I know with theirs. And I have a lttle bruise on my right cheekbone that is bufgging me. THat is the side with the eye that leaks and the nostril that is/was plugged and where the migraine was. The little brusise is from the sliding dooflongdongy on my sweatshirt that I pulled on with great haste and abandon and it smacked into my eye nearly. I don't need it to be at the end of my string, but there it was and is. I was in a hurry to get downstairs and get the laundry into its next stage. But pretty soon we wil be in our very own new house with its own laundrya and I won't have to go outside in the rain and down the stairs frist befroe I get into the rain and put quarters, lots of quarters, into a machine or tow or four or six. We bought a washer and a dryer today, used ones, from a guy who repairs and reconditions and deals in used appliances. We looked at a refrigerator, whcih is th emore immediate need, but the only one he had we didn't likke. It seemed too old and it wasn't cleaned up yet so it kind of turned me off on the idear. But I wanted a gas dryer instead of an electric one but electric was all he had and is likeyl to ever have and we can't really afford to get a new gas dryer but it would pay for itself soon enough I think execept if you dont have the money you don't have the money. WHen I say we bought the w & D, I mean that we gave the guy the money, but it is charged to my Visa card. It's a new card, a shiny new one with 0% interest so it's not really like borrowing money. Yeah, right. Up til today we had nothing inside our place that was not paid for. OH and I have sime bedroom stuff coming tomorrow and that was likewise charged. ANd we don't have the right size bed to put the bed stuff on and we arne't going to have one for awhile probably maybe and we really really need a bigger bed. People as old and fat as we are do not need to be sleeping on top of each other. ANd I had to go to the bathroom a lot of times and I was hungry and I wanted to hug a ferret. I have nto yet hugged a ferret tonight, but I don't realyl really want to beacuse there are three of them and whichever one I hug the other two might well want to get in on the act. Gregg took ferret pictures again tongith and they are very cute. He is in this photo-a-day club and it might oughta be ferret-a-day club becasue he takes a lot of pics of them., Speaking of Gregg -- he got up and greeted me when he woke upa nd noticed that I was not in bed. He is nice. ANd when he is awake he is not kicking me... Hey! Maybe this is my chance to get back into bed and sleep! Sleep is good. I like sleep. I have always had trouble sleeping, but it is not particularly troubleing since I"m used to it, It just makes me tired the next day. I then can sleep from fatigue, or perversity or something. I went to bed at a good hour. THis suxks. |
