Saturday
I had trouble sleeping last night again--trouble falling asleep and trouble staying asleep.
I turned on the computer a couple of times to play bubblepop on facebook and to make a few smart ass comments on the facebook entries of my former students and my nieces and nephews. LOL.
I finally gave up and got up at about 6:30 am. I worked on my environment--washed the plastic cat place mat and my own cat dish. I cleaned up and cleared out the area between the bed and the closet. I reorganized all the drawers in my bedside table. I need to find an empty pencil box (I'm sure I have several somewhere) to keep all the little things in the top drawer in. Things like small tubes of hand lotion, lip balms, cortaid, rolaids, aspirin, pens, scissors, and so on. The drawer would stay neater if all this stuff was corraled in a container.
Most of the area around the desk on the floor is cleaned up and organized as well. The desk itself is still a freaking disaster. I may take everything off the desk, throw it in a laundry basket, and organize it on my bed where I can spread it out a bit.
I put my other little blue painted peach crate shelf in the bathroom where I placed extra toilet paper, soap, and candles. In the tall shelf on the bottom, I intend to put Chlorox Clean-Up spray, liquid, and wipes and a can of lysol. There is probably room for a few other things as well.
I kept busy all morning putting things away. I also read the book I've been working on a bit this morning.
I went to Owatonna to meet Ingrid at the movie theater shortly after noon. We saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes. I thought it was pretty good. John Lithgrow was the father of the scientist working on a cure for alzheimers. The kid who played Spiderman's friend Harry was the young scientist, and the kid who played Draco Malfoy was the sadistic little prick who worked for the Ape shelter.
The did an excellent job of portraying Cesar, the "smart" ape. It was almost heart breaking in some parts.
I enjoyed it quite a lot.
Afterwards we went to Perkins for something to eat. She had a piece of French Silk pie and coffee. I had some sort of fancy pancake wrapped around some vanilla pudding like substance. It came with scrambled eggs and hash browns and two link sausages.
It was good, but I don't think I would ever order it again.
Mom was very upset that I had given my food processor and bread maker to Ingrid...she wanted me to get them back. It was embarrassing to ask her for them back again, but she understood and said she had no problem with it.
I felt bad about the whole thing, but Mom was adament about getting them back. My mom places value on some of the oddest things. Like my towels. I don't really give a shit about my towels because they are just towels. I'd rather have that storage space for fabric or dolls or doll accessories....but mom was just intent on my keeping all my towels.
After Perkins, I went to Walmart where I bought some food I could keep downstairs in the refrigerator so that I will not go hungry as I have had to a few times since moving in here. I bought a loaf of bread, some butter, peanut butter and raspberry jam. I had a peanutbutter and jam sandwich for supper tonight.
I also bought some yogurt, some tapioca pudding packets, and a carton of toaster strudels.
I also bought a roast beef and potatoes, carrots, and onions, which I will bake tomorrow while mom is at church.
That will produce enough leftovers to keep us well fed for most of the week as well.
I also bought a new pill caddy as my old one has a broken compartment. I don't like the pills spilling out. This new one is a step up--hopefully it will work satisfactorily.
As soon as I got home, I carried in two bags of groceries and picked up mom. We went to Jack and Kari's house to feed, water, and love their cats.
That little Milo is a caution. LOL
I finished reading Outlander tonight. It was an enjoyable read.
Tomorrow I will begin reading Like Water for Elephants. My sister in law said it was poignant and yet also made her laugh out loud as she read it.
Not much else new. I am hoping to geta ton of stuff done tomorrow.

Tomorrow?
I understand about the food processor and bread machine. I usually check with my Mother and sister before I give stuff like that away (or sell it) in case they want it. Your Mom obviously wants both of those items in her kitchen so she can use them.
Any problems using her refrigerator? You might consider investing in a small bar fridge for your lair. They have mini ones the size of an end table and also really small ones the size of a microwave. That way you wouldn't have to go up and down the stairs for cold drinks, etc.
You have your very own cat dish? What? Your Mom won't let you eat off china plates like the rest of us?
Re: Tomorrow?
LOL...my cat dish for my cats. haha.
