la. Driving home from work today I passed a broken down truck with a toothless woman standing beside it and a couple hundred yards up the steep hill was an obese looking girl. So I pulled over. Turns out the girl goes to the HS where I work at every day. Fun.

Their truck had run out of gas. I drove the girl up to the repair shop and they lent us a gas can, so I drove to the gas station and put a few gallons of gas on my card since the girl didn’t have any money and then drove it and the girl back to the awaiting mother. (Who, actually, wasn’t toothless. She had ONE tooth on the top….) Thankfully the truck started. Apparently they just got it out of the shop and the gas gauge was still broken, so they had just run out of gas.

Then off to yoga. Delightful, once again. And K was there– counsellor who I saw sometimes at the other campus during nsg school. She’s really a lovely, lovely woman. (red head *grin*) Much different style than J, from what I recall. I didn’t see her very often. But that 15 mins a week kinda kept me hanging in there, so that’s good. I guess. heh. No, it is good.

I feel like a total idiot for going back to nsg instead of going for psych. Lah. But, once again, I was trying to please other people and not myself. Only I convinced myself I was doing it for me, not for them. men.

It’s late, I should go to bed.

I spend a lot more time in my living room now, on the couch with my laptop. It’s nice. And Journey always, always comes over and curls up with me. heh. Usually right on *top* of my left arm. Which is ok, unless I need to move my arm! Silly kitty. Oh but I adore her. I just look down at her, snoozing so peacefully, and curled up so tight and solid next to me, trying to get as close to me as physically possible, and I just have to smile. This is the same cat who flinched every time I tried to pet her when I brought her home. I’m guessing she came from/ran away from an abusive home. She still flinches with me sometimes, but not often. Usually she’s doing everything she can to be as close to me as possible. She’s not as cat-like as Pandora.

‘Dora’s more…aloof. She does sleep on the bed now- but only at the foot, not near my head. Dunno if that’s cuz that’s where Journey sleeps or just because. And she rarely curls up next to me on the couch unless I’m laying down. Tho she does greet me faithfully at the stairs every day when I come home from work 🙂

What can I say, I love my girls!

Kleio is doing well. I just posted pics of her. The fishes and snail are also doing good. And my clipping from J that I’ve had forever, that I *finally* planted in dirt, is growing new leaves!!! It’s Frappie jr jr, I think? I’m so excited!

Ugh. 1am, why am I still awake?? Cuz I’m addicted to Scrabble, that’s why! (www.scrabulous.com)
