A Drivel Runs Through It

Sunday, October 22, 2006

Bleh.
I'm in one of those moods.

I realized Friday that I have a big paper due tomorrow, so I've spent the last three days writing, doing homework and sleeping.

I could not summon the energy today to attend a going-away party for a friend's daughter who is being deployed to Iraq. I won't even try to explain how worried I am for her. I did have dinner with them both a few days ago, but I should have gone today. I feel like a jerk.

My stomach's been inexplicably upset for days.

A highlight, though, was going for a walk with the kitties at sunset. In between moseying along, rolling in the dirt and scratching fenceposts, they run flat-out in short spurts, their little paws thundering like racehorses. Then they'll fly up into a tree, all wild-eyed and twitchy.

Montana is gorgeous right now -- crisp and golden and russet -- and I'm resentful that I have so much to do.

Also, why am I so poor? Where does it all go? And so quickly?

Bleh.

I think I need chocolate.
