Today was one of those day where I just couldn't get motivated. Part of it was that Ingrid and Nicky kept calling me about Nicky's issues at her school. They are trying to submarine her there--I don't get why they are doing it, since they have already told her she is not being hired back next year. Just to be assholes, I suppose.

Anyhow, she sent me the letter she is going to send to her superiors, and I proofread it and made some changes and corrections in it early this morning.

Ingrid kept calling and calling, waking me up every time as I was sleeping in.

She is coming home tomorrow for the weekend. This, I think, is one of the reasons that my body could not get energized. I am fearful she is going to want me at her house the whole weekend, and I have too much other stuff I want to get done!

My kittens were very snuggly today, so I spent most of my day snuggling with them in my bed, dozing, answering phone calls from Nicky and Ingrid, then sleeping some more. I didn't get out of bed till after 3, and I didn't go downstairs till after 5.

The cats had knocked over the garbage sack and dug most of the trash out of it again, so I cleaned that up before I went downstairs, tossing it down ahead of me.

They had completely devoured all their food, so I had to go out to my car to get the new bag I had bought for them yesterday morning on my way to school. I dragged the garbage can back up to the house, got the cat food out of the car, spiffed up the inside of the car a bit, and tossed the garbage bag into the trash can. I also took three of the paper boxes I had in the trunk into the porch. They will be much easier for me to put things in as I decide what has to go. They have nice covers, are stackable, and are easy to carry.

I heated up some of the left over pizza from Papa Murphy's and ate a very late lunch. I tidied up the chair in the living room that I have been dumping things into and figured out my checkbook while watching a couple episodes of House. After mourning my advanced level of poverty, I decided to go to Owatonna and get some groceries. My house has been practically barren of groceries for weeks.

I hadn't gotten the mail for over a week, so I stopped on my way out of town and picked that up. I haven't looked at any of it yet. That will be a task for tomorrow.

I bought two bags of potting soil and two cheap but large containers for my two tomato plants. Tomorrow, I will plant them. With any luck, I will be able to grow a few tomatoes on my front steps. :D

I got a ton of good healthy groceries. Now I must eat them instead of letting them rot in my fridge as I usually do. Sigh.

A sweet young stock boy helped me load them into my car, but I had to get them all in the house by myself. It was an ordeal, but I accomplished it. They are all put away now too--except for a few canned things. I will put those away tomorrow.

I am now lying in bed, Tyger Lilly at my feet, and Stewart up by my chest, lying on his back so I can rub his tummy between bursts of typing.

Even though I spent most of my day in a semiconscious state, I am tired. I guess i will attempt to sleep after I post this.
