Yay reading!

Yesterday’s work day was glorious since it allowed me to read most of The Book Thief. There is a certain amusement that I was stealing time to read a book about a girl stealing books. It truly is a well written book, and such an amazing narrative. I love the angle. Of course, it also jolts you again into just how awful the human race has been to one another in certain times. This specifically is during Nazi Germany, and I am telling you, it is almost as if my brain makes it out to be some kind of fake time, like a Hunger Games just so that you can try and distance yourself from the horrendous outcome of all of the lives during that period in history.

Ken got me a new vacuum! YAY! He picked it up at Costco, which was perfect since it was similar to ones we were looking at getting, and it meant I didn’t have to wait for it to ship from Amazon. When I got home, we broke it in by giving the family room a thorough cleaning. It was amazing how much cat hair it pulled up. It needed to be done for multiple reasons, but most importantly we were laying down boric acid in order to combat the very real flea problem. Hopefully this will help and our critters can get some relief.

I was feeling ambitious and excited since Ken went to Costco, which presented me with multiple items to work with for dinner. Of course, we laugh since the main reason he went, which was to pick up chicken, was forgotten. LOL! This just meant I ended up making a lasagna instead of a chicken based dish. It was nummy. There is something to be said about an oven that actually cooks evenly.

I got Lily to sit on command multiple times last night. I am so excited! She did so well! I was also amused when I had to scold her when she got into the recycling in the kitchen and Luna seemed to run to her defense. She came up to me, all very concerned and it was as if she was apologizing for having not kept an eye on her. It was pretty funny, really. I spent some quality time bonding with both pups, making sure that Lily knows we don’t just go through the motions.

I have determined why I was feeling so off on Monday. Turned out I was starting a couple days early. What is really nice this month is that it seems to be straight forward. The last few months seemed to have false starts and random bleeding. This time there is no mistaking everything. The only thing is that it seems to have completely exhausted me. Today I am less so, but yesterday I was a blob. Of course, sitting in front of a computer reading a book for 8 hours may make anyone seem kind of zoned.

So now I get to have a similar day. The boss is back, but I am pretty sure it will be slow aside from a couple of customers I have to get back to. I am so uninspired sometimes with work. I need a project. I would write more, but quite honestly my left hand has been uber twitchy these past couple weeks and typing isn’t as easy. Especially when I really get going. It is almost like a dog wagging its tail. I think it gets excited and can’t contain itself. I am starting to wonder if I need to cut out caffeine maybe for a week to see if that helps. I need to do something.
