Only me. *shaking my head at myself*
Finally fell asleep at 12:30am. Woke up a couple of times, but was able to go back to sleep. At 4am toyed with the idea of getting up and starting my day. But Leon the Maine Coon cat said, “you don’t need to. I’ll purr you back to sleep to apologize for throwing up on the bed yesterday.” How can I argue with a 20 pound cat?
I opened my eyes a little later to see my bedroom filled with sunlight. My first thought was, “oh crap! Its 6:20am and half my day is gone. I’m getting such a late start!”
Again, only me.
But I figured I needed the sleep. There was a little hint of fall in the air yesterday, but another warm-up is on its way. I hadn’t put away the fans-I knew better. At least the pets have gotten a few days of relief.
I had a good day yesterday. Worked around the house. Did paperwork. Played a few games on Facebook-I’m so addicted to those but really limit how much time I play. Buk and I headed out to the deck around 6:30 for fire bowl time. But it was too windy to get a log lit. So we hung out there anyway for an hour-he enjoys being out in the yard with me so much and I enjoy being out there with him. I refuse to think about Matt taking him when Mandie moves into their house in a couple of months. I can’t go there right now. We came in before dark to avoid the skunk army. I’ve been so diligent-its been over a month since we’ve had a skunking! An evening laughing at “Ally McBeal”. I ended up taking Buk out under strict supervision 11:30 and ran into my neighbor who was just getting home. I started laughing and said, “now you know my secret-I take Buk out every night one final time in my jammies!” and she laughed.
It looks like she has stuff going on, so it will be another day of doing stuff around the house. But it suits my mood today. I lost mom 11 years ago today. I think I need the comfort of being in my wonderful little house with my pets and just puttering around today.
I figured out from Matt’s posts that he is out of town right now. Sam said the ex comes home today-oh joy. I know he’s going to start in on me about the Mandie situation and I’ve figured out how I will put my foot down. He’s already managed to stir up enough trouble about it. And I won’t take it anymore.
I glanced at my Entertainment Weekly that came yesterday and put it aside for a day when I can take it to a restaurant. ”The Walking Dead” is on the cover and I’m so excited about it starting up again. It doesn’t have the same effect on me that “American Horror Story” does-Sam and I love our zombies. My next movie release coming up is 9/7-”The Words” with Bradley Cooper. Sam and I have been captivated with this one since we saw our first preview-it looks sooooo good. I keep learning more and more about the movie/tv industry. I’m sort of over my obsession with screenplay adaptations. With the fall tv season coming up, I want to learn what a “show runner” is and what they have to do with making a show go. There has been a few shake-ups over the last couple months with show runners and I want to figure this out. Me and my obsession with the entertainment industry….but it makes me happy.
Oh crap-its 8:20 and I’m still in my jammies! *big deep breath* Leopardditz-you have plenty of time today.
*shaking my head again*

Next week I have PROMISED myself I am going to do better with getting up earlier. I have no problem being a slug-a-bed until half the day really IS gone! I need to get up at 6:30, and then exercise for 30 minutes before I think of having breakfast. It would be great to be out of the house no later than 8. Instead, I prefer to play with my iPod and read books all morning, but I HAVE to go to work and that just makes me get home late. I want to be home before dark this winter, so I’d best get the routine going now.
I LOVED Ally McBeal, and I was mad at Robert Downey, Jr. for a long time for leaving the show.
@suzyQ_darnit - I used to be able to sleep in before I became an insomniac. And Saturday mornings I’d stay in bed reading my entertainment magazines. But since I get up-usually-so early now, I tend to get busy as soon as I get up before I need my third wind of the day. That usually happens by 9am. When you are out of bed at 2am, it feels like lunch time around 7am.
@suzyQ_darnit - Sam came out started talking to me and I didn’t see your Ally McBeal comment. I felt the same way about RD, Jr., but was also very proud of him. That was the first thing he did after getting out of rehab/jail/rehab. And look at the man’s career now…..
@leopardditz – I know, he is a very compelling actor, which is why he was so good in the show. I’m glad for him that he has been able to come so far.
@suzyQ_darnit - for Christmas the pets are going to get me seasons 4 and 5 of that show. They give such wonderful gifts!
@leopardditz – yet ANOTHER reason to wish I had a pet (the goldfish in the pond outside don’t count because they hibernate all winter).
