stoopbeckSigh. It's been a long day.
After staying up until godawful early this morning, I went to bed--only to be woken up what felt like a few minutes later. I hate when that happens. I got dragged to the vet and the grocery store and the library. Did you know that they can flavor pet meds with various fish flavors? I didn't. Now Cleo can enjoy salmon-flavored antidepressants.
Library was fun too. Got some more books, including Phantom of the Opera and Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Went swimming at the Y. They've got a pool with waterslides and stuff. It was fun.
Came home. I wanted to sleep, but got conned into watching "The Terminal." Could Spielburg EVER make a movie that ended coherently? *sigh*
Then I went to go read a book Grandma lent me. "Shipping News." It's rather good, except for that weird fragment thing the author does with descriptive sentances.
I fell asleep, only to wake up four hours later. I missed dinner. I also missed playing Monopoly with family. That I'm not too upset about. Monopoly is teh suck. :P
I wish I didn't feel so tired...
