bits and other bits
Nov. 9th, 2009 12:11 pmWas woken from a sound sleep at 3 o'clock in the morning by the squeaking of a very freaked out field mouse being chased around the bathtub by my cat. I gather some cats eat mice. Mine likes to make them his best friend. The mice are not so into him. So after bunging mr./ms. mousie into a plastic bucket and arranging for some middle of the night rodent witness protection/relocation... (involving wandering around my driveway in nightgown and sock feet) I went back to bed.
But the night's sleep was pretty much wrecked. Added to which the cat decided that losing a playmate was good excuse to hog the covers!
So am at work fagged out and with a headache... and have about 20 minutes until I have to head off to the mothership and learn how to 'free myself from electronic clutter.'
Have been spending this first week of NaNo writing AROUND my "novel." I want to give up and say it's not ready to be written YET... but that seems defeatist somehow. So not feeling very enthusiastic about it all, but c'est la my vie.
Should be eating my lunch before I trek across campus, but find I am not hungry.
On the plus side, it looks like I've lost in the neighborhood of five pounds in the last two weeks. So I must be doing something right!
