Steph's Glass is Half Full

Optimistic (and often pessimistic) raves and rants about the many things that can go wrong with an old house, cats who leave me hairballs each day, a job I love but get burned out with and my wonderful husband who I at times, want to hiss at. Also included are my yays and nays about my travels into the world when performing necessary tasks such as grocery shopping, being thrown together with complete strangers, thrown together with strangers and their strangeness.

Yay! I Had a Nap!

I dragged myself into work this morning dead on my feet and my brain at probably 30% efficiency. It was pretty slow at the clinic, only two surgeries, lots of appointments but most of them were simple vaccines which gave me the opportunity to leave early.

I left at 2PM rather than my recently usual 8:30 or 9PM and came home for a much needed nap. It was a deep sleep until 5PM and I awoke with drool on my face. The drool wasn't Riley's.

This is Riley, my sweet boy. He's a drooler. Obviously so am I.

Last week I clocked in almost 20 hours of overtime and was really looking forward to sleeping in Sunday. I did sleep in, but felt like the day was wasted because I didn't get moving until 2PM and felt like much of the day was over. Marty and I did go to Meeker Day's in Puyallup, an annual street fair with arts and crafts vendors. I ate grilled corn on the cob (not so sweet this time of year) and bbq chicken. Well, some of the chicken...it was really spicy and had a lingering bite that burned the lips and tongue. I passed over my usual street fair corn dog and had lumpia instead that was surprisingly delicious, tasting just like homemade instead of food fried in bulk amounts and kept warm under the hot lamp.

I bought a present for my friend Cindi, and for myself I got another banner, a cat hanging upside down with a bird's nest in his paws. It has already replaced the winter banner hanging on the flag post on the front porch pillar.

Unfortunately Sunday was much too short and my one day off ended way too quickly. Tuesday will be a bitch of a busy day at work, but hey, I got to leave early today and nap myself into a drool state.
