My wonderful husband gave me a ride to the vet to get the cat food. How sweet, because you know I wasn’t looking forward to it. Fuzza just finished off a good portion of duck and peas and is now settling in for his afternoon nap. I hope he keeps being excited about feeding times. His tummy seems to be getting a little heavier, so I think he’s gaining some weight. I sure hope so.

While it was nice not having to drive this morning, I had planned to stop at a few stores on my way home just to goof off and do some window shopping. Now I’ll have to work up the desire to leave the house again, and as we all know, when I am at home, getting me to leave the house is almost impossible, if there isn’t any pressing need to do so. I have no need to go to any stores aside from wanting to do a little shopping therapy. Not that I wanted to go crazy or anything. I just wanted to price some paper-crafting tools, most especially a paper cutter. I am tired of trying to cut straight lines with scissors. I am completely incapable of doing it. I’ll be going along just fine, and then my hand will twitch and well … so much for a perfectly straight cut.

But I doubt I will be able to get myself out of the house this afternoon. It’s so damn muggy and hot outside, and from what I saw on the trip to the vet, the traffic is heavy today. Yes, I can always find a justification for staying in my nice cool house.

Besides, I’m feeling somewhat “meh” today. Not physically bad, but mentally. I just didn’t sleep all that well last night. I kept having the same weird dream where I grew huge black feathery wings and then I flew all the way to New Zealand, landed in Kenno and Janno’s yard, and knocked on their door. When they asked how I got there, I unfurled my wings, and they were all “oooh” and “aaah” … and then I would wake up. Every time I fell back to sleep, I’d have the same dream or some variation of it. Just weird.

I need to make some artist trading cards to send to M, so I think I might go sit in the kitchen and stare at my supplies and contemplate that for a while. I’ve been having the urge to paint too, but the kitchen is still in such a state of disarray … clean but cluttered, as I call it … that just getting set up to do any painting or drawing would take at least a half hour. By then the urge will have probably passed. Better to just work on the cards, seeing as that’s the clutter that is taking up all the kitchen space. I have way too many paperwork tools … I need a new storage box. Hmmm … maybe I can convince myself that getting a new storage box is an actual need and get myself out of the house later today.
