Life tedium

I like this guy.

Fantastic Smoker yesterday. Great crowd, huge crowd, friendly and rowdy. If we continue to get audiences like that for the remainer of the run, we'll make up for our weak second weekend sales. Tell your friends! Come to Smoker!

Today in Sagas of an Aged Cat: Fetish is being ridculously cute this morning. She's very affectionate, and sat on my lap for a while between breakfasts. This is reassuring, since I upped her insulin to three units twice a day on Friday night. I wasn't seeing any lessening of appetite, and her litterbox is stupidly full after 24 hours. I swear she pees almost as much as I do. Judging from those two factors, I didn't feel her diabetes was being properly addressed with the two unit dose. I've seen no ill effects (no shaking, no unsteadiness, etc.), so I'll keep her at this dose unless another week brings more failure to achieve results. Much like dealing with my own health issues, I am having to make decisions about her dosage and methods of treatment. If I ran to the doctor everytime, I wouldn't be able to afford the medication. I should note, Fetish's medication is more expensive than mine by about a factor of four. o_O

Sleep last night was not restful. I went to bed late (nearly midnight), woke up at 5:15, and slept only fitfully until 7:00. The coughing stopped, thankfully, but my eyes are sticky and itchy, and I can usually breathe through only one nostril at a time, at best. C-o-n-g-e-s-t-i-o-n. Again. I suspect this is going to be a cycle until KCRF is over. Eye/nose problems during the weekend that develop into a cough by Wednesday or Thursday, allowing me to rally by Friday in order to begin the process again on Saturday. Next year: Preventative Measures.

It's almost ten now, and I would very much like to go back to bed. I know it would be fruitless, though, and probably the only result would be to wake mckitterick, who came to bed later than I did. Instead, I'll tinker around in the sewing room. Maybe cut out some bloomers for the anticipated Cheeptrims order arrival. Maybe do some yoga. Just no inverted poses.

Oh, I almost forgot. I had a dream in the wee hours (I'm sure this is what woke me, since I didn't have to pee). I dreamed I was pregnant and applying for maternity leave in a fancy big-city office where I was some sort of mid-level executive with a fancy corner office and big windows that looked out over the downtown area. I was dressed very snappily (in a mid 80s Wall Street aesthetic) and went back and forth between being visibly pregnant and not. I had very nice shoes.

Dream? More like nightmare.

But at least you had nice shoes.

Maybe you're getting ready to birth a Big Idea :)

Ha! Yeah, I don't think I'd apply a literal intepretation to it. I seemed very laid-back about the whole thing.

That dream is nutty! Funny thing, last Friday I stood next to my car before getting in (because that's when it occurred to me) and tried to see if my belly was too big to see my shoes. It's kind of difficult to say. A tiny shift can really change the view, but the answer is mostly no, my belly is not big enough. I can still see the tips.

I like pretty much nothing about being visibly pregnant. What I especially don't like is how big my butt is getting and how my hips are widening. ARGH to all that. I'm telling myself that these are features, which will ease delivery, rather than bugs that make me feel like a People of Walmart photo.

Blah. It sucks when you're used to being comfortable in your skin and then suddenly you don't feel good about how you look. =(

I'm sorry.

And yes, getting a baby through your hips in the shape they were pre-pregnancy? Probably not the greatest experience ever.
