How did YOUR day start out?
~~~
massive embarrassment and 'unwanted company'.
Woke up late, on the front-room couch and in my skivvies. I just *knew* the foreign voice in my dream didn't make sense.
My folks were up and the cute Filipino lady who works them through their physical therapy was sitting there (with her back to me), also. WHY they decided to just leave me there I have no idea. WHY they didn't throw a cover over me, I don't know...but I was able to escape and get dressed and start the morning coffee & teas for all. Passed out the morning beverages to all about the time I noticed my coffee, which I drink black/no sugar, had an extra additive - a cockroach swimming on top. Damned thing didn't even have a Santa cap on!
Up in the Great White North = we have no cockroaches.
Down in The Swamp = the cockroaches all know you by first name, outnumber you a million to one, and will fight the dog over table scraps.
Once the Assisted Living arrangements are made, I'll be back up at The Den...it has been a long time coming,..

^The cockroach is just horrendous--it is irrational but I couldn't drink out of that cup again no matter how many times I washed and bleached it. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! And face it, if no body went blind seeing you like that, then so what?
I think the worst wake up for me anymore is when I occasionally step in a hairball when I'm still half-awake on the way to the shower. |

....cloudy and dark as it is the shortest day of the year. 8:45a.m. Never slept in that late before - must be why the cat was staring at me.

I could not BELIEVE I slept till quarter past 11 this morning!!!
Woke up real early when the cat jumped on me & made me almost jump out of my skin. Got up, took a whiz, gave them some food, then laid back down, figuring I was awake for the day. At some point, I drifted back off & for a good while, too. Had the cat not woken me up, I probably would have awoken on my own around 9:00. |

Fully understand the 'hairball thing'....had a few cats in the past. Every time one would toss up a hairball in front of me, I'd immediately puke. No kidding - it is an uncontrollable involuntary physical reaction with me (imagine what great fun I can be at a party at a house where there are multiple cats and hairball issues).

I don't understand why they call them hairBALLS, when they're more like hairTURDS. |

FUNNY STUFF, PA!
Reminds me of one morning my sister fixed her coffee (sugar and cream) took a big gulp that had a lump in it. There was a spider in her coffee what made it into her mouth. I shot my coffee across the room when I saw a leg hanging out of the corner of her mouth. Priceless! |

I don't mind the hairball regurge. At least I know it accomplished something. It's when the cats eat too fast and decide that the white carpeting is the best place to exhibit their art, that I get a bit annoyed. Sometimes, though, there's enough warning to allow me to get something to catch the puke in. Sometimes, it's a cereal bowl. I just have to remember that I didn't just pour myself a bowl of Reese's Puffs. |

Funny how they almost never puke on the bare floor where it's easy to clean up & doesn't leave a stain.
Nope. Gotta be the carpet. |

I have 2 small red-brown stains on the carpet right now that I have to deal with. They've been there a few weeks. |

It'll go with the blood stain that Rocco left behind when he injured his crotchal area, and the brown stains left behind when Sneakers used to stand in the litter box and squirt his diarreah outside of the litter box. You would've loved that. I could actually hear the stuff squirting out. He was old and sick, though, so I just dealt with it. Anyway, the current stains do match the color motif of my living room. |

My ex and I invented a new Olympic game called "cat hurling." And that's exactly what it was. We heard the sounds of a cat getting ready to hack one up and we ran to cat and tried to throw it onto a tile floor instead of the carpet.
The reason hairballs bug me in the morning is because I step out of bed barefoot and then step on a nice, gushy one. Lovely way to get your day started. |

....sometimes, it's all about how the day ends...
My beloved mother just banged the library door..."...probably should go to bed - the physical therapy folks will be here at 09:00 - we don't need another episode of 'Naked & Crazy' first thing in the morning, cancha tell...."
No sh*t - but that's not fair. I was the victim. What's it going to be this time? Everyone singing 'Jingle Balls' to me?
I gotta get this 'Home Health Care' business set up, or I'm going to get stuck in the insanity around here...

...well, still 'caretaking', so I had to get 'Morning Tea' (and *my* pot of coffee) ready.
Black breakfast tea, for the elderly, of course.
"You shouldn't drink coffee! Good coffee contains caffine and that's addictive!"
"I need addictive substances to keep me moving enough to meet your demands, doncha know..."
"Make sure that is a level teaspoon of sugar you add to my tea!..."
Holding up the spoon for the sugar, I notice a roach standing on the end - right on the tip of the spoon, waving at me, "Happy New Year, Paw! Ya seen any of my kids running around?"
"Yea - they were near the stove. I killed 'em..."
Had a napkin in my other hand, so it was easy to grab the freeloader and smash it between my fingers, stopping to inspect it and make sure it was dead - pretty much like looking at snot in a tissue.
I hate The Swamp.

Yesterday morning... Up at 5:30 after 4 hours of sleep to take my college buddy visiting from SF back to the train station. It involved getting his bike into my car. My trunk is like a glove box, so we had to put the bike in the back seat. That involved backing the car out of the garage and putting the top down. Not a big deal, except for the fact that I'd just woken up after 4 hours of sleep, it was still dark, and the weather was 30 degrees and windy. Anyway, we managed that, got to the train station, and Larry realized he left the front wheel at my house. We had to go back to my house. I was going to be working with a friend on my fence, so taking him back later was outta the question. Larry's nickname in college was Space Ranger. 40 years later, it still applies. I was not happy. Anyway, he ended up staying another day. Today, I got him to the train station with his bike and front wheel. Just got back. No fence work today, and no house guest. I'm going to vedge and eat spaghetti all day. |

...a 'banana peel'.
Yea, I slipped. First day back to work after a month off and I'm 45 minutes late, missed one meeting, but I sure don't seem to care...wonder what that is telling me?

THAT is precisely what happened to me! It was an 'unfamiliar and unwelcomed noise' that I quickly dealt with, which means I went right back to sleep. It was also an ugly reminder that it has been almost 3 months since I've been home...and I cannot see myself getting back in the next 2...

It's about midnight, I usually don't get up until between 1 and 2.
I hear the furnace, running and running and running, after maybe 5 minutes I thought I better get up and restart the fire.
Mama must have come to bed early and I know she didn't do the normal shutdown for overnight routine. You have to load it heavy with big pieces and shut down the air intake, there is usually hot coals when I get up and (normally) the furnace has not been running.
So I got the fire going again, had a smoke or two and did half a shot of Z-quil hoping to get back to sleep.
I must have slept because then comes the bizarre dreams, a buildings roof collapsing around us.
