What's with today, today?

Today...

7 am. Raining. Woke up alone and tired. Had stayed up late the night before doing background research so that I wouldn't be swallowed by the ocean of neuroanatomy that we're supposedly born knowing. Laid in bed listening to the radio and the rain.

7:20am. Finally got up. Let the bunnies loose and gave them their papaya chips. Brushed teeth.

7:25 am. Made english muffin with fake peanut butter. Looked at the dishes on the counter and decided that I'd wash them later.

7:30 am. Hoping rain will stop so I can walk to school

7:40 am. It rains harder. Call Scarlet and ask for a ride.

8:00 am. Discover that Hoyle has peed on my pillow. He thinks this is marvelously amusing and shakes his ears at me while skipping away. I decide I'm going to eat him for dinner.

8:20 am. Desperately washing urine-soaked duvet in bathtub before Scarlet arrives. Duvet cover and sheets are already in the washing machine. Grab raincoat and laptop and run out the door.

8:30-10:30 am. More hopelessly overwhelming neuro lectures. Had a lukewarm orange pekoe tea.

10:30 am. Talk with Scarlet about how ridiculously stressful school is right now. Discover that the majority of my time sensitive errands cannot be accomplished without a car. Person in front of me at the bank machine manages to break it, thereby eliminating further errand opportunities. I walk home in the rain.

11:00 am. Standing under a tree trying to keep the laptop dry while it pours even harder outside. Reminisce about walking home from the grocery store in the North Land to our old apartment and smile.

11:15 am. Clouds are quickly blown away and I get to walk the last 35 feet home in vibrant, warm, and relatively dry sunlight.

11:20-2:00 pm. Do 3 loads of laundry, vacuum, clean oil stains out of carpet and off coffee table, wash dishes, make lunch, sterilize water purifier for winter storage, put away camping equipment, dance around living room to old mix tape by Melon, call insurance about the new car, think about how wonderful the weekend was (ostrich, cheese, and chocolate fondu and Penguin). Try not to think about all the work that needs to be accomplished this afternoon.

2:00 pm. Settle down in front of laptop to resume studying. Day is improving: looking forward to going to gym tonight to watch HIMYM, looking forward to getting done this neuro homework, looking forward to possibility of getting a car by the end of the week.... and looking forward to Thanksgiving in only 2 weeks.
