I could not fall asleep again last night.  It took forever.  And I have forced myself to get up now because I have so much to do.

And I am a bit worried because my house feels unpleasantly cool--right on the razor edge of COLD.  I hope everything is okay with my furnace.  Maybe there is just a brisk wind outside.  The house feels like this when there is a strong breeze.  BRRRR.

Anyhow--yesterday I didn't eat anything but some cheese and crackers and an uncrustable.  I just didn't have the will to cook.  So today, I have to make something that I can eat all week--left overs are a very good thing.  I might even run to the grocery store in Kasson (a quick trip) to pick up some celery and some chicken.  I feel hungry for homemade chicken and barley soup.

ARG.  I hope I get some ambition today.  God knows I had NONE yesterday.

At least, thank God, I get paid this friday.  I'm horrifically broke at this time, due to car insurance.  Not that the check will help much because it will have to stretch to TWO car payments--since my last one is unpaid due to the need to choose between car insurance and car payment.  Sigh.

I think when I get my income tax refund this year--which I am going to apply for ASAP--I a going to pay the whole year's house tax with it right away.  Then I am going to put the rest onto my car.  If we estimate the house taxes at $1,000 (it will be a bit less, actually), I will have in the neighborhood of $1,500 left to put on the car.  That is 5+ car payments--and it should lead to me getting my car paid off much sooner.  I figured that I had about a year left on it.  This would take it down to about 6 months--PLUS, I would have paid at least 2-3 more payments before I get my income tax refund--so--yeah.  It would really make me happy if I could get that damn thing paid off before the end of summer.  REALLY happy.

Now, I have stuff to do.  Don't expect to see me on line until this evening--late this evening. 

Love to all!

I worked hard most of the day.  I got all my laundry done except for one small load of pinks/reds.

I discovered Komet had puked on my quilt again.  arg

I finished cleaning the bathroom.  It is sparkling clean and smells really nice in there.  I feel like calling up everyone I know and insisting they come over to look at it and smell it because if for damn sure ain't gonna last!!

But I am going to try to flylady swish and flush.  I bought a special new toilet brush with holder for the purpose.  I put the scraps from my soap dish in it along with about a quart of water and also dumped in the bubble bath someone gave me for Christmas a couple of years ago.  That stuff eats my skin, so it is useless to me.  It smells good though, and if swishing and flushing my toilet every day will avoid the horror of toilet filth....well.... I'll try it.

I laid my new rug down in the bathroom and it looks very nice.  My mom got me a fuzzy green toilet cover thingy too.  Don't care for those things much.  I wanted one of those little shaped like a U rugs to put in front of the toilet.  Sigh.

The rug she got for by the tub is wonderful--nice and long and thick and soft.  :)

I got the hallway and the wooden part of the computer room scrubbed too.  It looks nice.  The stupid cat had gone on a puke a thon and there was cat puke everywhere.

I put away the clean dishes, washed the dirty ones--dumped the old chili and split pea soup outside for the stray kitties to eat so I could wash those too, washed up the new gladware I had bought to store food in, sacked up the kitchen garbage and took that out to the curb along with the old dish drainer and its tray, and folded and put away tons of clothes.

Right now I'm feeling pretty tired.

Oh, I also picked up and put away a lot of crap in my bedroom.

I made scrambled eggs with sauteed onions.  They were good, but they've give me indigestion.

I'm eating an apple.

That usually does the trick for me.  For anyone who suffers from indigestion--there is an enzyme in apples that nuetralizes stomach acid in a very non-drug way.

At the moment, I am playing scrabble with DeAnn and Peter.  I am so tired, it is hard for me to keep my mind on the game.  I dread the thought of going back to school tomorrow.  There are so many things I wanted to do that just didn't get done.

Ah, well.  At least it is just a four day week--and mom will be on her cruise next weekend, so I don't have to worry about going home.  All I will have to worry about bugging me is the stalker, who will soon be home from her trip.  Man, it was SO peaceful without her around!

This apple is a red delicious--it is from my fruit basket from Dean.  It is tasteless and has an odd mushy/grainy texture that is kind of nasty.  But, since I am eating it medicinally and not for enjoyment, I guess I can tolerate it.  Sigh.

Peter, DeAnn and Turiya Foul and I are going to play a quick game of scrabble.  Then I am going to bed.

I am really tired.
