beccastareyesSo, I have suddenly taken up 'sleeping' as my next hobby.
No, don't ask. It's just suddenly my body seems to think that 10+ hours is perfectly reasonable. I'm going to have to start enforcing reasonable bedtimes and wake-up times for myself. Yes, even on weekends.
I'm also catsitting -- since I don't drive, it means bringing the cat to me, rather than going to the cat. Currently, I have Dr. H's cat, who was brought over by my advisor -- Dr. H and her husband being in Italy for the month. My advisor had been watching the cat, but he's in Boston for the week, so he passed the duty off to me. He was supposed to drop her off sometime between 9 and 10 AM yesterday. I waited around til around 12, then had to head in to work for a 12:30 meeting. After the meeting, my advisor came by and said he managed to show up just after I left, and that he left the cat and her stuff outside my apartment door. Needless to say, I was on the next bus home to get the cat put of her carrier -- he had left food and water for her, but she was quite unhappy about the whole state of affairs. I was just relieved none of my neighbors had called the cops on 'some strange guy left a cat in a carrier outside our neighbor's place, and she's being loud'.
The cat has also already managed to knock over one of my houseplants. Yay vacuuming up dirt.
