Food, Pets and Sleep

Again I’m up at 7AM but at least the day went better than yesterday. I actually got out of the house for a bit. I visited with a few people I know then came on back home. When I got back I was so tired I couldn’t stand it but I knew I needed to eat. I made a real dinner tonight then fell asleep with brownies in the oven.  My roommate, who will eat anything, decided they were too “crispy”. I suggested he use his chainsaw to cut them but he thought it was a bad and dangerous idea. His saw isn’t that powerful I guess. It reminds me of the time I put chicken in the oven and turned it on to what I thought was bake. it ended up being “clean.”  He didn’t want that either. Picky little something. Now I am going to pick my warmest blanket and get under it. Maybe Gracie will let me keep my ear plugs in tonight. She has a bad habit of taking them out when she thinks I’m asleep so she can play cat soccer with them. She’s so careful when she pulls them out.  After I close my eyes they aren’t motionless. Bella likes to paw at whatever that ball thing is that’s moving. Somewhere between a thieving cat and a chaser I’ll get some sleep. I’ll have to give the brownies another go tomorrow/today.

Dog update: for the most part Little Bro is doing well. He’s coming along on basic training and has the housebroken stuff down pat. He still likes to get into everything though. As soon as I leave the room he’s up and into something. it’s almost as if he makes a mental note of what to get into when I turn my back. He can appear to be dead asleep but you let me get up for two minutes and he’s into something. I walked out of the room and came back and he was tearing stuff up. I was gone less than two minutes, I thought he was sleeping… what the hell??? Was he faking? … I can just see it, “Watch this, I’ll act like I’m sleeping then when she gets up for a glass of ice I’ll snag item 87 on page 12 of my mental notes.” ……Like I said, mostly he’s doing well but ya gotta watch that guy cause he will get into stuff.
