Snippets.
I've just realized what it is that makes my weekends feel like real weekends. It's all about the Sunday afternoon nap, people. It's no longer a luxury; it's simply essential. Yesterday we went to my parents' after fellowship and I basically headed directly for the guest bed, wrapped myself in a flannel throw, and crashed out for two hours. I am SUCH GOOD COMPANY. But I feel great today -- refreshed and ready to face the week.
We had an event-filled weekend overall, though -- we went to Bodie on Saturday, a place I hadn't been since I was maybe ten years old. I took a million (or, OK, slightly under 200) pictures but what with having actual work to do (transcribing and school) I haven't edited and posted them yet. Soon. Maybe.
Also, Smokey (our very favorite cat in the whole wide world) came up missing over the weekend. He didn't come in when we got home on Saturday night, and he stayed out all day Sunday and last night too. We were very worried. In fact, one or more of us may have cried a little about him. But -- happy ending -- this morning he was pawing at the front door, fat on gophers or maybe purloined quail (we love the quail, but cats will be cats, even when we put bells on their collars), perfectly OK, and eager for his regular weekday-morning saucer of milk. (T has a soft spot for Smokey that is roughly the size of the Ring Nebula, let's just put it that way.)
Last week I was reading my blog archives a little bit and I got all bummed when I realized that I used to write (occasionally, at least) Really Important Posts about Subjects That Matter. I contemplated trying to do this again but I just don't have it in me right now. Maybe I just don't think anymore. No, that's not true; I think a lot; I just don't devote creative energy to making my thoughts make sense to anyone else. Maybe all the energy I have for that kind of thing gets sucked away by school. At any rate, just so you know, don't plan on this becoming an Important Blog anytime in the foreseeable future.
