Part of that is because of the cat. She sat yowling outside my bedroom door until I took pity on her and let her into the bedroom. I warned her not to roam all over the bed, not to step on my hair, and under no circumstances was she to push my phone off of the night stand.
Naturally, she immediately did all of those things. I had no other choice but to banish her from the bedroom once again. Once I finally got her quiet, I fell asleep pretty quickly, and the next thing I know, she's yowling at the door again. The sun is up, and she wants her breakfast.
By the way, her tail injury is looking much, much better. So much so, I let her go outside and sit on the back porch while I brought some firewood into the house. She didn't even try to go out into the yard, which is good, because she's still limping a bit.
As for me, I spent the day taking it easy. A few days ago, I got up in the middle of the night to answer nature's call and got so dizzy I nearly fell over. I had to catch myself on the bed and stand there a minute before I could go on. I haven't felt quite right since. I think I may have had a mild case of the flu. It's been going around and it makes sense considering the symptoms I have had -- low grade fever, headache, weak and shaky feeling, cough and congestion. In the light of that, I set my to-do list aside -- except for laundry -- and just rest for once.
I didn't even do my next chemistry lesson. Maybe once I'm done here, I'll mute the ball game and watch it. This game is Alabama vs Oklahoma and I don't know which team I want to lose more. If I had to choose, I'd say Oklahoma. I am a native born Texan, you know.
Oh, and I downloaded an app called Victory + and was able to watch my high school alma mater play in the state championship game. They didn't win, but they did well especially considering no one really expected them to make it to the championship game in the first place.
Finally, just so this post has some sort of redeeming value, a few days ago Marcy at Amnicon Studios -- link is over there -----> -- asked what kind of tree topper we had. I grew up with a star, and that's what I wanted to have on my trees as an adult. Alas, I couldn't find a star that I liked, so I thought I might get an angel. I wanted something simple and elegant, but I couldn't find one of those I liked, either. For the first few years, I had what my cousin Tommy Gene called a monstrosity. Mine wasn't that monstrous, though. I'd bought it when I was stationed in Italy, and it had a clear bottom section with a nativity in it.
Me knowing myself, I was afraid I'd break the thing, but fortunately it's still in good shape, packed carefully away.
Sometime later, I don't exactly remember when, but it was before I started blogging in 2005, I saw an angel in the Avon book that was simple and elegant and beautiful, I knew I had to have her. And she's been on my tree ever since.
