this morning, i realized that part of why i've been getting up so late lately is that the sound of the alarm no longer means "time to wake up" to me, it just means "time to hit snooze", so, half the time, i don't even register what time it is. i wonder if it's possible to fix that without getting a new alarm.
last night, i blew off doing homework. instead, i went out shopping - i was looking to get large duffel bags and a pair of black summer/linen pants. after 2+ hours of shopping, i got 2 duffel bags, pants for silks and yoga, and a bra. i only found one pair of linen pants in my size and they'd been made for someone much older then i am. if this urge doesn't go away, i might hit wrentham outlets sometime next week.
i got home, and ended up putzing around for the rest of the evening; besides looking for housing (read: compulsively refreshing CL searches), the most productive thing i did was make another batch of iced tea. the lesson? apple cinnamon tea is really strong - one packet of that with 5 table spoons of loose green tea, and the cinnamon almost overpowers the green tea flavor. but, it also cuts down on the bitter/tannic acid aftertaste.
today, i'm feeling out of sorts. the two places i'd like the most are being shown to other people this week. no word back from z. about whether august 7th fits in his timeline, and no word back from a couple of other people once i mentioned i won't be able to look until then. seeing a whole bunch of places listed for august 1st move-in is only slightly reassuring.
the cat has been extra-affectionate for well over a couple of months now, and i still find it to be very weird. lately, when i've been home, she's been stretching out on the bed next to me when i go to sleep, but when i wake up she's always in the window sill (which is much cooler) - i'm curious if she stays on the bed just long enough for me to fall asleep and then moves. this morning, i called her over to the bed, and she promptly jumped over and spent a few minutes lounging next to me, moving in to be pet, purring and biting my hand. i really can't think about spending 4 months without her. at the same time, who knows if she'll still like me after tonight.
