Another bad morning

And this one was really bad, though I have the excuse that I woke up in the middle of the night and was awake for a long time. But no matter, I was an hour and forty minutes late.

Needless to say the day went fast from there. I put up a Black history Month display.

Got a text from mashfanficchick at the end of the day about getting together in the evening, so I called zer and made plans.

Ze and zer mother picked me up at my place and we went to Target and to Shop Rite.

Then we went out to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen. That was very nice though a bit pricey.

Came home, and discovered that the cat had at some point zoomed across the living room and careered into the cord of the laptop, knocking the laptop askew and taking a bunch of stuff off the coffee table. He also managed to break an ornament from the Christmas tree. (Yes, my Christmas tree is still up.) I'm sorry about the ornament, it was a plain gold ball, but one of my parents old ones and almost certainly older than me.

Anyway, I straightened out the computer and Skyped the FWiB. He is doing better, though still not seen a doctor.

The Kid texted me during the day, she's having fun.

That's about all.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Fun with friends.

3. The Kid texted.

4. My laptop wasn't hurt when the cat pulled it.

5. Good dinner.

6. The Kid.

Saw Oldest Brother today

I slept late and had breakfast and coffee, then showered and dressed and went over to the nursing home.

Oldest Brother was in bed watching TV, but he looked good and seemed aware and alert. We had a nice visit of about an hour and 15 minutes, give or take. I brought him his Christmas presents and he opened them (with a little help) and enjoyed seeing them. Mostly books, I hope that he is actually capable of reading them.

Anyway, I came back and took out the kitty litter from cleaning the cat pan Friday. Then I puttered around basically.

The Kid called and I talked to her for awhile, then I puttered around some more.

I finally got around to posting my story from the Starsky and Hutch Advent Calendar on both Fanfiction.net, here: Sunrise, Sunset, and AO3, here: Sunrise, Sunset.

At a little after 7 I Skyped the FWiB, and we talked for a nice long time, taking a break at 8:30 for me to call Middle Brother. He is fine, went on a walk today in a park which he enjoyed.

After the FWiB and I were done I had dinner, and then called mashfanficchick to talk about tomorrow and make plans.

After that I played solitaire on my phone till pet feeding time.

And that was the day.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Oldest Brother seems to be doing well.

3. Middle Brother is fine.

4. The Kid is happy.

5. I got the story posted.

6. Have my CAT scans tomorrow.
