• random and pointless

  Where do I even start with the random and pointless report?  Saturday morning disappeared the way every Saturday morning disappears in a cloud of coffee and nothing.  I collected dust bunnies and pine needles in the living room while psycho ninja kitten attacked the broom which she still finds endlessly fascinating.  I finished a book that made me cry.  Littleloudone laughed at me.  Best Grisham I’ve read in a while.  Solidified my opinion on the death penalty, thank you very much.  Not that there was much doubt.  Not even going to be annoyed that it probably took me more than two weeks to read it.  Because it is abundantly clear that the days of me reading a book in a few days are long gone.  Even if I have or take the time to sit and read, I lack the concentration anymore.  Sigh.  I tried to read my snore articles for class and instead finished some paperworky stuff that people have been asking for (many times and for a long time).  I hate like heck that I have to plan my summer in January.  But mostly I hate that my summer is very full and seems to lack any kind of playtime.  I don’t want to be taking classes this semester.  I feel like I just finished.  I want to hide and be mindless.  Instead I will be something like a grown-up.  Eventually.  I called a friend and begged her to let me visit.  I didn’t really have to beg, of course.  I keep forgetting that I need real life interaction.  Then I came home to jinx another football team.  Littleloudone and I did mother/daughter pasteling.  When I stopped getting annoyed at her bumping the table, I decided that it was really quite adorable that she wanted to do the same thing I was doing.  Especially since she’s been giving me such a hard time about watching football “all the time”.  The 49ers have the most hideous outfits.  I yelled at the tv.  This last second losing thing is getting on my last nerve.  The next thing on the agenda was read aloud to the peops. LLO said I was reading slowly and that maybe I was saying some wrong words.  Gosh, that’s only because I was falling asleep.  I woke myself up a couple times spouting nonsense.  While I was reading (and awake), we were having some major cat wars.  psychoninjakitten was probably attacking Princess Buttercup again.  It was very loud.  At one point, the kitten came up on my chair.  I had to laugh because she was completely covered in pine needles.  (Apparently I missed a few.)  She’s a new kind of air freshener.  The fast moving kind.

  Is this really all I have to say about an entire day?  Yes, I think it is.  But that’s the kind of day it was.  Random and pointless.  But still.  Many little things that add up to something.
