early .. late - 12:10 AM
i'm still up. i don't feel tired. well, no actually, i do feel a little bone-weary but not 'sleepy' tired - i'm wide awake. you know, this happened last time we ate those bi-lo (no-name brand) fish fingers, too. maybe they put something in them that makes you stay awake .. maybe they put no-doze in them!! well, we just bought a pack of forty of them so i'm not going to stop eating them now.
i decided to give my honey his birthday present today (friday). firstly, i'm not very good at keeping secrets & secondly, we don't really have any place to hide a whole chair. that's what i got him. since we now have two computers in the computer room, we need two chairs to sit at the desk. previously, with just the one computer, the person who wasn't using the computer had to sit in a crappy plastic chair. hmm, i take that back. it's not a crappy chair at all. for a plastic chair it's actually a pretty good one, but for sitting at the computer for hours on end it's not that comfortable.
i have a really nice, really comfortable office chair that i bought second hand a long time ago & re-covered with cool fabric. it really is a very comfortable chair. meanwhile, my darling had to sit in the uncomfortable plastic chair. so for his birthday, i found another second hand chair similar to my own & re-covered it in really cool red tartan fabric. his birthday isn't for another two weeks, but i didn't want the poor thing to have to be uncomfortable any longer so i gave it to him early. he likes it .
later the same day after finally going to sleep ..
i eventually got tired last night & went to bed. didn't really have such a good sleep though. shroom stayed up till pretty early in the morning doing work stuff. i think he may have come to bed at around 5am, i can't be sure though because i didn't even wake up. i was dead to the world.
ever notice that when you have a job where you sit down for most of the day, you almost never feel like doing anything other than sitting? well, that's the way i feel, anyway. if it wasn't for having to eat & go the toilet, i'd probably sit at my computer all day long & not move. hmmm, good recipe for getting a big, fat bum. the other day i actually used the easy-rider thing we have in the living room (the previous tenants left it here) & i almost convinced myself that i was going to do ten minutes on it every day from that day on. that resolution didn't last long.
i think that i can honestly say that the words that i've spoken out loud the most over the last couple of weeks have been "you're a very annoying dog!". obviously, i've been saying this to mcgarnicle, our magical & very annoying dog. he seriously has to be the most annoying dog in the world. we have to keep him tied up to a long chain at night & during the day if i'm not home because he won't stop eating the irrigation system, so it's no wonder he gets a bit stir crazy.
