and another exciting day passes

Apparently, my email isn't working, as people tell me they sent something and it never hits my inbox. So, if you're trying to write to me, and I'm not answering; I'm not a snot, yahoo is.

Right now, I'm listening to an owl hooting in my kitchen. No, my last name is not Weasly, and my family is perfectly normal. My parents are just total nature lovers that buy bird clocks from the National Audobon society. If I slaughtered the name, my apologies. But... I guess if we have a bird clock that gives off realistic bird calls every hour, we are not really under the category of "normal". My cat goes ballistic every time he hears the stupid thing. You'ld think he'd learn.

But then, with me for an owner, he's bound to be a little wacky. The other day, I was running downstairs and I don't know how, but I smacked my head on the wall. Tall people have this problem; you have to duck your head while going downstaris or you hit your head on the 2nd floor ceiling part. But I didn't duck my head, and I went bounding down the stairs and *smack*! I just happened to hit my head in exactly the same spot as where I hit it when I took the nose-dive into the firepit, so it didn't feel to good. But then, I suppose if that wall hadnt' been there, I would have just... kept going and tumbled head over heels.... like Diana. LOL Except she's short, so its not as far to the ground, and therefore less painful.

Other than that, life is good. Today, especially, I was reminded just how much I love and appreciate my job. I was very thankful today, especially, that I don't work for the cleaning service anymore, as some hapless bloke had brought in a little piece of home to share with his colleauges; only he wasn't aware of it right away. Apparently, he'd tracked *something* from his shoe, which had been thoughtfully left for him to step in by his (or perhaps the neighbor's) dog; and just so none of us at work had to miss out on the joys of dog ownership, a tidbit of his misteps was left on the main staircase at work. I was soooo glad I didn't have to clean it up.

Furthermore (while I was at work), I got some free time to work on my book, and was able to improve on chapter, one, although I kept getting distracted, and so did not get much farther. However, in putting this in perspective, I'm getting paid to write a book, soooo, I can hardly complain about distractions. However, I probably looked kind of crazy while I was making my lunch (at work), as I was thinking (aloud) about which expression sounded best. I was saying all these phrases and then writing down what sounded good. And when I got really excited, I'd start gesturing. But... as strange as it may sound, it helped!!! When I say it out loud, it makes more sense. lol. Okay, y'all are gonna think I'm a basket case. Don't worry, when I start arguing or shouting (when I talk to myself) THEN you can worry. :P
