poor little lucy laptop

It's been a few days. My laptop was busy visiting the Apple store for repair. Unfortunately the repair didn't work and I'm still stuck with a laptop that only functions when plugged in with no battery, and supposedly has a teeny area of water corrosion inside that makes its warranty void.

Anyway, while Lucy Laptop was away at the spa I made good use of my time. I read a lot. I kept writing, on paper instead of the computer.

 

 

I watched pretty snow fall.

Of course I did plenty of pretend shopping with Pita, too.

Last night Celia took a while to fall asleep, and then she was awake on and off (or maybe the whole time...) between about three and five am. Chris and I were pretty tired this morning! So, clearly our sleep issues were not resolved like I thought they were. I just wish I could figure out why she's awake so much during the night. We also have to figure out if it's better to go in right away when we hear her, to try to get her to go to sleep again, or if it's better to just ignore her talking and hope that she eventually goes back to sleep. Sometimes I think she likes the attention of us going in her room when she wakes up, so maybe we shouldn't. When she's talking away in there and I walk in, I've noticed a sneaky little glint in her eye when she sees me... Little bugger.


As it was just getting light this morning, I noticed Cow Cat outside. In the snow, in 20 degree weather, in the dark. What is wrong with people, leaving their pets outside at night in the winter? And Cow Cat saw me looking out the window, and I felt so bad that I couldn't let him in and take care of him.

Poor Cow Cat.

I'm home from work, about to start dinner and pick up Celia. Hopefully she isn't too cranky, and hopefully she'll sleep better tonight.

On a different note, Kerri was really nice to give me a little blog award. Things have been busy so I haven't been able to get to it, but I'll post my response tomorrow!
