Napoleon has a tendency to just squirm and squirm while in his crate. He eventually just wears himself down and passes out, but sometimes that takes a long time. And then when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he tends to repeat the process all over again. Unfortunately I’m a notoriously light sleeper and he tends to wake me up. A lot.
Anyway, this morning I got up early to discover he’d peed all in his crate. I’m not talking a little bit... it was like a lake of pee, enough for him to have splashed a decent quantity out onto the floor. I took him out to be walked, but of course he didn't have anything left in him so he didn’t pee. It probably took a good 1/4 of a roll of paper towel to mop up everything in the crate. And naturally he was going to need a bath. But I stuck him back in the crate, because I had plans.
Yesterday I called and ordered a dozen Gerber Daisies for Teale. I told them I’d pick them up in the morning around 8:30. So I washed myself up as quietly as possible, and snuck off with Teale in bed to get her flowers. They are so pretty! I love Joy’s Flowers because they are so nice and helpful. I drove them home without a hitch and put them on the dining room table for Teale to discover on her own when she got around to waking up.
She discovered them later and was really happy with them, which of course made me happy. Later she went to the grocery store for some supplies for tomorrow and picked up some Pizza Hut for us. We’ve had a great day of doing absolutely nothing. We watched a lot of Mad Men, then The Crazies with Timothy Olyphant. Great movie! We’ve needed some time together without anything on the agenda.
As expected for this week, I still haven’t accomplished a single bit of homework or studying. So I now have 2 days to get prepared for a test over 5 chapters of Human Growth and Development and 2 chapters worth of Nutrition. I’m not so worried about the HGD test because I’ve at least read and done some assignments that were due, but I haven't read a word of the Nutrition stuff. I just... I just can’t bring myself to do it. I will of course, but I have zero motivation for it. I’m not sure how I’m gonna get any focus going. I just feel so worn out with all of it. Ah well, maybe I’ll feel better after doing it tomorrow.
