I was wide awake at 4:59 with another hour to go before we reached 6:00.  Stella was very antsy since breakfast was off schedule, and Thatch spent some time trying to open bags of cat treats. Annabelle has another cold, so I had to wipe her nose and feed her by hand.  I need to increase her Lysine intake.

I need to pay the bills I intended to pay yesterday, and tidy up.  I have one bathroom clock to turn back, and I need the ladder for that.  The apartment remains hotter than hell, and I am not amused.

I had dreams I do not remember now, although I did tell one of them to Thatch around 1:00 this morning.  The Court Jester song "Life Could Not Better Be" has been running through my head like a dervish every night for the past week.

Annabelle wanted to watch a scary movie, but Saturday night is Midsomer Murders night, and she has to understand that.  And, besides, scary movies frighten Thatch.  I wouldn't mind watching Sleepy Hollow again.

I reset the stove and microwave clocks and my clock radio last night, and I must do the car's clock and the little one in the bathroom today.

It was disconcerting to see daylight at an earlier hour this morning.

And Lord knows, this time change is the worst for cat owners. Thankfully, the time is nigh and I can execute my parental duty.

Back from picking up packages, made tacos and ate three - very good.  No more than 600 calories all in.  So, if I'm hungry later I can another two or make one burrito with meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and salsa.

JBW is one of Vixdad’s nickname for me

It’s short for “Joe Blow Wife” usually used when I do something silly, such as tonight when I went out in the rain to go shopping and left my headlights on and let my cars battery go flat.

Sorry about that.  I rented a car once that didn't have that feature and also let the battery die.  I rented a car once that had the feature, only it didn't work and my lights didn't go on at night.  Fortunately it was Daylight Saving time.  Since I was in LA because my father was in the hospital I made sure to be back at his place, where I was taking care of his cats, before it got dark.

By the Grace of God is an intense, infuriating and ultimately effective film. No easy answers for the stories of the three men who were abused when they were children. The facts that it's based on a true story and that some of the enablers remain unpunished are what is upsetting.

The fact you have been ignored after reporting people for threatening you is serious.  Is there a way to write them about this?  As for you calling someone a moron I think they are reacting to all of the name calling, and that is why it was only a 24 hour hold.  Try reporting the person who reported you.

A few weeks ago the very nice owner of the garage where I take my car told me to remind him next time I bring the car in and he'd reset my car clock. But his phone rang just then and I wasn't able to explain that as soon as the time changed it'd be correct again. And it is now.

I've only reread just a few books.  A couple were books that I read when I was in middle or high school The Sword of Shannara and Splinter of the Mind's Eye), and after I got my first Kindle, I just wanted to reread them, so I did.  Then, I reread Good Omens because why not. :)
