Overslept a bit this morning. I heard the alarm on my cell phone. I heard it every time it went off. I had it in my hand under my pillow. Yet I still kept hitting the snooze button, because I just couldn’t get my brain to engage. Well, I had trouble falling asleep last night, then I had a weird dream, and shortly after that brought me almost to consciousness a storm blew through with lots of wind, rain, and thunder noise. All I can say is that 5:30 am came way too early today.

I should go to the grocery store today, but considering how low energy I am, I think I’ll just make do with what we have and go tomorrow. In fact, I might be able to put it off until Friday, which would be great, seeing as it’s payday. I’ll just have to see how far I can stretch one large round steak and one small pork roast. I’m pretty sure the two of us can eat well enough for a couple of days on that and what veggies I have.

I guess that means I’ll be puttering around the house doing the usual housework today. Not that I really feel like doing that either, but the dishes need to be done, the rugs need to be vacuumed, and the floors must be swept. Yuck.

Also, I’ll be continuing to tighten up the nuts and bolts of my online empire. Yesterday I got Twitter, my cell phone, and my blog working the way I like it, so now I’ve actually been using Twitter, which has been fun … and slightly addictive. I also sort of got the blog integrated with Facebook, though not too much. I really don’t need all my blog posts annoying everyone over there. Just about all of them read my rantings elsewhere, and I do hate to be annoying. No really! I do!

Now that I’ve had two cups of coffee and a phone conversation with my mom, I have some insta-energy to expend. It’ll vanish soon, so I better get to it. It seems like a sure bet that at some point today a nap will be in order. The bed full of cats is calling my name.

Well at least I managed to crawl out of bed just in time to listen to Apolo Ohno on one of the Chicago radio stations I sometimes listen to in the morning. It was nice waking up to Apolo being charming!
