My Day

Today was the definition of Monday.

I woke up at 7am, after a very restless sleep full of dreams that I wouldn't wake up at 7am. I did. Then pushed the snooze button a couple of times.

I got up, quickly got dressed, and inhaled half a bowl of cereal before I noticed the milk was a little off. Too late now. Finished the bowl, poured my coffee into a road cup, and was putting my glasses on my face and out the door when I stopped.
WTF. Crooked. My glasses were crooked. I did find them on the floor next to my bed... I blame it on the cat.

I ran inside and stuck my contacts in my eyes, which cooperated. Thank you, contacts.

I sat in traffic, then got behind a ubiquitous slow-moving truck pulling a trailer full of Mexicans and lawn mowers for a few miles, then finally made it to work 20 minutes late. After a quick chat with Jackie, I put the kitties in my car and drove them to the humane society for their shots. The whole way there I got a lovely chorus of meow meow meow mrow mrrow meow...

I got out and sat in the clinic waiting an hour and a half for them to be seen. The way it works is first come first serve, so you gotta get there early to sign in. While I was waiting I brought my evolutionary textbook. About 15 minutes into that, the resident one-eyed cat that wanders around the place decided that he liked me. He climbed onto my book, as ALL cats do. What kind of person would I be if I didn't pet the one-eyed cat?? So I pet him for a while and people/ animal watched. Lots of interesting folks and animals. It was a busy place.

So anyway we got that done and I headed back to work. When I took the kitties out I noticed a wet spot in my car. Oh Lord, one of them peed. In my car. So Jackie tried to clean it up but it still smells a little funky. I need to get that shampooed. Ugh- I can never get away from cat pee!!

I went to work around the office, then ran to the post office. Except I spaced out on the way there and went to Fed Ex out of habit instead. I turned around and went to the post office. I had to mail a letter using that automated machine, and the label that it printed out covered the address. So I looked around for a pen. Nada. I went to my car and found a pen, which of course quit working halfway through ghetto-rigging the envelope. So I licked it, even though that almost never works, and tried to get it to work again. It did... intermittently. I hope it was good enough, haha.

On the way back from work I noticed my tank was literally on E, so I got gas. Not eventful. *whew* I got to work and the rest of the afternoon went ok.

At 4 I headed to class and on the way ran over some debris in the road that everyone else managed to avoid in time. Then when I got close to school I noticed the road felt really bumpy. "Please not a flat tire," I prayed. When I got out and looked, it wasn't flat. I was just paranoid. Wonder why?? I got to school, printed out my notes, got Starbucks and made it through class.

Now I'm eating "rice-a-roni" and green breans. I'm freaking tired dude.
