It’s 10am … Arwen is in her bath, kitty is pawing at my fingers while I try to type… and me? I’m just killin time. I do need to go get Arwen finished with her bath so I can take a shower… then we can head up north… Fort Collins trip today to go see some friends. 🙂
for the record, do you know how distracting it is to have a cat attack your fingers while trying to type a blog? i’ve lost my train of thought twice now. lol This is odd having an animal around again.
ok… i need to get stuff done. i’ll write later.

another weekend approaches …

and i’m sitting here wanting to freeze time in a perfect moment …
I have things to do at work, but i don’t want to do them. Perhaps it’s the pounding in my head or the itch of tired eyes … or the feeling of impending doom, when it’s not even Friday the 13th (and that’s in two weeks) … it’s been one of those mornings already. It’s really not that bad, I’m sort of bumping into things today – my mind is elsewhere in several directions. While going boarding yesterday was absolutely awesome (aside from getting my ankle twisted *shrug*) I feel like I’m paying for those hours over and over again. Couldn’t sleep all that well last night, partially due to my mind, partially due to falling asleep too early last night because I was so wiped out and partially due to some back pain which presented itself to me around 1 this morning… then, I wake up with a headache after I did finally go to sleep. My ankle hurts a little more today (no surprise), my back hurts and wouldn’t you know it? Icing to the cake, I’ve got an exhaust leak on my car. While an easy fix, I ask myself… why today? I didn’t want to come into work this morning – I wanted to call in, but I needed to be here in the morning at least… I just hope today doesn’t hand me any more fun. I’ve had enough already. I’m not really down and depressed about it, just more agitated over it.
Possible positives for today if nothing else goes wrong? We’re going to go pick up the kitty today, I will see Sharon and Mike, and quite possibly I will get to fix my exhaust leak. Maybe I’ll feel better in a couple of hours, I’m sure I will -Âbut right now… I stare, into a monitor that asks me to do something with it and wonder, when can I run for the door? Sooner than later, what a wonderful thought.
staring at the floor…

Yes, for absolutely no reason what-so-ever I was staring at the floor…Â However momentary, it made me think to myself, “What the heck are you doing?” It’s morning procrastination at it’s best! I’ve decided I’m going to redo one of the pages interfaced with the billing system. It just doesn’t set well with me. Nothing major, but none the less it was worth of procrastinating for at least a few minutes… so I stared at the floor, figured that was a complete waste of time and decided to do something slightly more productive… write a blog. 😀
So, the page should occupy at least an hour of my time… then there is lunch, well sort of. Going for a walk and eating lunch afterwards – puts me at … hmm 13:00. Project meeting at 13:00 should last about 30 minutes and that leaves me with … almost 2 hours before I leave work. Whatever shall I do? Perhaps I can find an episode of something interesting to watch on the internet. Either way, I’m out at 15:30…
Ah, yes, leaving work early today to run some errands and hopefully we go see the kitten. Oh yeah, did I mention there is a kitten addition coming to the house? Yeah… So I caved in and decided to get an animal… hehe So when the choice came down to did I want a dog around or a cat, well you know what won. I may get a dog one day, when I don’t have so many things going on and can handle dealing with all that comes with it. So, back to the kitten.
Take a look.
Isn’t she the cutest? I was thinking of getting the one on the left, but since those are so common and the snow leopard looking ones are not, getting the white one was the best choice. However, I do ponder how long it will be before I cave and get another one thats like the one on the left. Anyway… going to see her today and tomorrow she get’s spayed. Then its down to two or three days before she gets picked up and comes home. 🙂 Now the hard part… naming. I’ll post up about that later as that’s an ordeal in and of itself, I really dislike naming things. lol
So yeah, that’s about as far as I’ve made it through planning my day. Tomorrow looks pretty promising though. The mountains are getting a nice dose of snow today so I’m taking off for up there to get some boarding in tomorrow. I’ve really been slacking on going up and I’m running out of season. Hopefully I can get in about 3-5 more trips up before its over with. Realistically it will probably be two. lol Oh well. At least I got up a fair amount this season, mostly in Nov, Dec and January. If I remember I’ll take my camera up and see if I can get some nice spring shots, but I think its going to be snowing tomorrow as well so we’ll have to see.
Anyway, I should get this page done.
