Day 4793

I had the oddest dream, waking up. I was walking with someone looking for a particular house... and lurking about was something or someone that would "get" us if they saw us... and I noticed that it was almost time for my alarm to go off. So I started pointing my finger and the "lurkers" went away and the house got found... and it wasn't burned after all... and the person next to me turned and asked me "What the hell is going on?"

And I said "It's my dream and I have to get up so it's time for the happily-ever-afters to start."

Bizarre!

I also have to pick up Simba on the way home from work today. His ear required surgery to fix. I'm dreading how hard this is going to hit me in the pocket. Other than that, it's back to the grind. I am going to be soooo glad when Elizabeth can ride the bus again!

I'm going to try and start selling things on e-bay again. Like I don't already have enough to do! But I need to get rid of some of the junk around here and extra money is always a good thing.

I almost missed 24 last night. I forgot it was Monday until 8:55 pm when Elizabeth reminded me to turn on the TV. This is why I don't like watching a regular show... Although 24 is really not a regular show.

Day 4793: Evening

Simba is home and doing well... and his surgery didn't cost me as much as I was afraid it would, being only a little over $200. If he were hairless and walked on two legs instead of four paws then it would have been ten times that. I am grateful for small favors.

I also had to pick up hardware and fix the front door. The latch has been getting difficult for months now and this morning when Emily and I got home, we couldn't get in by that door at all. And no wonder, when I took it apart, I found that we (collectively) had twisted the square inner piece that turns in two. So now we have a new door knob with a knob on each side... the thumb latch was, I think, the problem.

The perfume bottle turns out to be not indeed, Clairfontaine. But since it looks remarkably similar and I am not a collector, I am just as pleased with it as if it were. It also lets me off the hook of feeling guilty for keeping it when we could use the money so many other places.
