it was a strange day.
bolted out of bed b/c i *thought* my alarm wasn't set. ...soon realized i gave myself 25 extra minutes to sleep-in, so the alarm had not YET gone off. (took a minute to register)
there was a small creature of some sort in the dryer vent. possibly in my dryer. this morning, when i went to get clean clothes, that's what i heard. after determining the *creature* was not loose in the basement, i closed the dryer door and came upstairs - no emotional energy to deal with it. just closed the door and walked away.
had most bazaar meeting with someone today - reminiscent of Jekyll & Hyde. still recovering.
overheard stuff that i wasn't supposed to hear at a meeting (my office was next door to meeting place, and there are no walls)
my coworker purposefully moved her pack of gum out of eyesight when i came near. i assume so she wouldn't be asked to share. which is odd, because i always offer her a piece whenever i get some. she always accepts. strange behavior for her... although we're all under a great deal of stress. and i think sometimes it's easy to misread people during those times.
almost killed the lawnmower today by trying to cut my long grass too short. the motor was working very, very hard... but i wanted it shorter so i wouldn't have to mow more often*
picked up a medium-sized pile of leaves that have been on my driveway since last fall. decided it might be a good idea. since it's may, 2007. they'll go out on yard waste day. next week. ...it was already starting to turn into mulch. perhaps i should have kept some. aw, shucks - but i'll get new leaves in a few months.
decided, after thorough investigation, to barricade my dryer-vent-opening on the exterior wall with my trashcans. yes, it's quite a fortress. any small creature will be very, very afraid.
just realized my socks are green - from cutting the grass. time for a ride inside the washing machine, girls...and the dryer (as long as there are no living things inside to make me squeal)
have i mentioned the sociological experiment going on with me? it's very interesting. several years ago i collected some data, and i'm doing it again to compare notes... very interesting indeed! good information, results were predicted. i'd make a good scientist.
there's other stuff too, i just have to go to sleep. it's late my time. but all in all, it was an odd day.
*i understand it's not good for grass to be cut short. i get it. i just don't want to have to mow the lawn every 5-6 days. and if some of it dies, it dies! who cares. that's what green spray-paint is for.
