Happy Thorsday! It’s a cool 45 degrees with a high of 70 predicted. {{{ **Rosie** }}} Woke up way too early and finally fell back asleep. I suppose I should call the hospital, I haven’t heard about the pre-op reschedule. I wonder if they are going to reschedule the surgery as well? I need to go through last months bills as well, I have one coming due and haven’t gotten the bill yet. Is it cynical to think the hospital does it on purpose because if you miss a payment the entire bill becomes due? ---

Ugh. Slept badly, got a really busy day. I keep reminding myself that life calms down a lot after I finish finals Monday. Yeah, still working, but only having that to do will be restful compared to juggling work and five classes. ---

Apt. pest control is coming by today, so my cat (and her bowls & litter box) and betta and various other sundries are camped out in my bedroom today, plus I sort of lucked into getting a dryer at the drop of a hat the other day and had to re-shuffle the shelves I had in the laundry nook, so my home is chaos at the moment. Whoever is paid to act as the mysterious \*\*TrashCanFairy \*\*that comes around the office each weeknight puts my emptied trash can back in a different spot in my cube each and every time. So every morning as I’m in 1st-thing triage mode while also shifting my brain into gear, I wind up reaching around behind or next to me to toss my drippy tea bag or something into a receptacle that has impishly moved elsewhere. ---

Thanks \*\*Spidey \*\*but it looks like I bug out tonight after the 6. Philly has been a nice visit, [other than the crazy dude I had to deal with at 7 last night.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18363973&postcount=2) As an out of towner I am a big fan of doing our business and leaving asap; Ben Franklin, guests and fish & all that. ---

Been kind of sick today. ☹ So I haven’t been getting as much work done as I’d hoped. Oh well, at least this happened when I was working at home, instead of being out somewhere and getting sick. ---

\*\*Tugig \*\*- you do find yourself in some interesting situations, don’t you? Why does drama follow you??? :dubious: \*\*swampy \*\*- how many different towns do you have to visit? If I didn’t know better, I’d think you had a sweetie stashed in each one of them. 😉 you dog!!! Mowage is done - whew, I’s beat! Cat pee laundry is getting lots of fresh air and sunshine. The azaleas that I fed yesterday got watered today, along with the bed next to the shed. I have since showered and lunched. I think I’ve earned some TV time. ---

I’ve got chicken in the oven, waiting for it to get done for N.O.L. Then back to irk. I kind of want a nap but I’m trying to resist. I think if I skip a nap I’ll sleep through the night but it isn’t true, no matter what I wake up. ---

**{{{Emily, rosie and rockin’}}}** They’re repaving my side of the apartment complex today. I hope that they’re done by the time I get home, or I’ll have to park in the gravel lot at the end of the drive. You could tell the folks who don’t leave before 7:30 am because they parked in other areas last night. ---

I’ve got a hunk of chicken marinating in teriyaki. I’ll steam some rice and I think I have some fresh broccoli, plus there’s a little cabbage left over from yesterday. Maybe we’ll have some pineapple chunks, too. I should get the stuff off the lines. I’m sure it’s dry by now.
