had a great time last night with the step-family. it’s funny, i’ve never really liked my step-mother, but i’ve always gotten along really well with the rest of her family (excepting her kids, they’re just as uncomfortable to me as she was). my cousin works for a large brewery, so our beer with dinner was paid for by her work and she even sent me home with a case of my favourite honey brown. now that’s the woman you want to invite to all your parties!
of course, i stayed out too late and, between the after dinner coffee and my thirty degree (eighty-six for you yankees) apartment, i didn’t get to sleep until sometime after midnight. guess who feels like a the walking dead today? i really hope i get some sleep tonight. maybe i’ll try for a nap when i get home.
dad takes off for ontario tomorrow, which means i’m the drop-in cat-sitter for just over a week until i follow him eastward. i think, if this heat doesn’t let up, i might move into dad’s place while he’s gone. his apartment is much, much, much cooler than mine. plus, there’s free laundry and he has a bathtub i can soak in if it gets too unbearable. now that he’s got a computer (albeit a slow and painful one), it might not be too much of a sacrifice. at least i’ll be taking my laundry there. gotta save my loonies for the trip!
