miracle of miracles...

the cats actually let me sleep this morning, thanks to the genius of the CatMate... i got one yesterday at the pet store because i'm just not getting a good night's sleep anymore... every morning for 9 years now, the older kitty wakes me up around 4am wanting to be fed, and she doesn't let up for hours until i get up. she'll knock stuff off of my dresser, push the answering machine buttons (let me tell you how terrifying it is to hear a male computerized voice go, "YOU HAVE NO NEW MESSAGES" AT 3AM)... one time she even knocked a picture off the wall. when she wants to be fed, she wants to be fed.

anyway, i put their food in it last night, closed the lids, and set the timer for the lids to open at 4am. woke up at 7am, refreshed, with 2 snuggly, happy kitties wrapped around my head... when i went into the kitchen, sure enough, the lids were open and the food had been eaten. genius. i'm so happy i could cry.

last night was freezing cold. seriously. the b.f. and i went out to a comedy club (one of his co-workers was doing a routine), and after only 1 minute outside looking for a cab after, i seriously thought i could die if we didn't get one soon. seriously, it was scary how painful the cold was. i'll write about the actual evening in another post, it was a really wierd night and i need more coffee before i can process it.

A positive trend is worth continuing. Throw yourself in the path of creativity and pleasure. Build yourself a fun house and watch in amazement as it takes on a life of its own. Whether you travel in a world of your own making or dive into the mysteries that the universe keeps serving up, new adventures await you. Even if something worked beautifully for you last time, you're compelled to approach it again from an entirely different angle. Wherever your inspiration comes from, it's always impressive. Somewhere you probably have a fan club. If not, start one yourself.

yeah.
