It's not a cry you can hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light...

Bought a cat tree house (the tunnels are not that big at all and I don't think Ariadne could even remotely fit in them but the rest is awesome) and they love it! Well the kittens were immediately convinced. They climbed up there before I was even done building it. I had to place Ariadne in one of the little cat hammocks and manually curl her up and then hold her there while I pet her for several minutes before she calmed down, but she hasn't moved since and she looks quite happy with her new sitting place. She's going to sleep in fact. See, baby? Sometimes when I bother you, I actually have your best interest at heart instead of just wanted to kiss your wee face because it is so cuteomg.

Also, check out the spam email I got (this is a print screen I took. It's safe to click!) It makes me laugh quite hard. I don't live in the US, guys. I didn't file a tax return. And much better on disguising your address there and even including a header, but still not falling for it. You sort of uhm...used some wrong words there. But you are getting craftier. Bravo.

The last few nights have been rough. I can't sleep again. Increased adrenaline makes for increased anxiety which makes for me staying up until 6 am and sleeping badly when I finally do fall asleep. I have a little dry mouth again and that's annoying. Huurrr. The social anxiety is still okay, I think! And I have finally gotten my head back into writing, YAY! Thank goodness for that. I missed it while it was gone!

Also thank goodness for our new cheese toastie machine. I will never eat anything else. And all the tea. I drink it. All.

HELLO, INTERNET WORLD, I MISSED YOU FOR SRS!

To be honest though, it was nice to just BE for a few days. Really nice. There were two days when I didn't touch a computer AT ALL. Two days I was driving and that leave twoish days when I spent a few hours on the computer writing each, since mostly in my down time I was reading a 300-page book. And I managed 11,500 words in only a few hours. Having no distractions = awesome.

And we saw a kiwi bird!! OMG CUTEST THING EVER IN THE WORLD!

But we are home now, and Ryan Reynolds is back at his home. He was SUCH a good car and we miss him. We had Ariadne-snuggles and internet-checking and I am talking to Ren <3 and soon there will be spaghetti.

Also? Charades are still hilarious when you are nearly thirty. Even the silly kid game ones (we wrote our own after the first night which were amazing) I was acting out Pooh Bear and they had the bear part. I acted out 'poo' because I am incredible, and Alison yelled out 'SHIT BEAR'! And they had red-nosed and when I mimed antlers, she yelled 'MOOSE' and it was, of course, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. ...you had to be there. But Alison is a unique and beautiful lady and there was much laughter.

AHahhahah shit bear. Good times.
