Sunday, October 30

Today has been mildly productive.  I've done some laundry, cooked the chicken I had in the fridge, and currently have a concoction of sorts in the slow cooker.  It has carrots, chicken, peppers, potatoes, pineapple with barbeque sauce mixed with sour cream.  I have no idea what this will taste like, but I hope it works for lunch for at least a couple of days.  We'll find out!

Tomorrow promises to be the busiest day of the week.  I have a full day of classes, not a single block free, and then rehearsal followed by tutoring.  All I've wanted to do this weekend is sleep; hopefully that urge passes by tomorrow.

Cassie is STILL a big suck.  She's currently watching me from the arm chair next to the computer desk, lounging on her back, paws in the air.  She has spent the past two nights sleeping in between my knees and meowing at me whenever I move too much.  I guess we both need to get back on a regular schedule.

Day Seven

I had a lovely chat with my Grandma Walter today.  She and I share a birthday, so it's always been pretty special.  This year, obviously we weren't together, but it felt like we were even further apart as I couldn't reach her.  She went into hospital Saturday with what the doctors think was a mild heart attack.  She's home on her own now, but it was a scare.

I was meant to go to a birthday party today, but Cassie woke me up by throwing up on the bedroom floor.  As it's the only carpeted floor in my apartment, it was Murphy's Law that had it happening there.  I don't know what she ate, or did, but I didn't want to leave her.  Sad, I know.  I put my plans on hold for a cat.  She's better now, so maybe she just knew I needed a day at home.  She's been a big suck all day.  I love cuddles.

I used the slow cooker Emily and Ryan left me.  I say left, rather than sold, as I can't remember if I did give them the money for it.  One of those confusions at the end of the school year in June.  So, Emily, Ryan, let me know, send me an address, and all that.  The rice turned out well (I know...way to start with a challenge ;) )  and I am one step ahead for next week.  I need to start eating more healthily, and less school cafeteria food.  It's good, but perhaps too good, and too easy.  I'll run out tomorrow and pick up some chicken and some veggies, and we'll be good.

A week today I'll be in Panama.  I may have to cheat and blog on paper while I'm gone.  I don't think I'll take my computer.  Perhaps there will be a coffee shop or something, but I doubt where we'll be staying will have wifi or anything.  We'll find out!

Still contemplating this past week.  Prayer would be appreciated.  I don't really like decisions.  Thanks a bunch.  Ta!
