So here I am, surfing the net...went to take a short nap this afternoon (been only averging about 4 hours sleep at night, during the work week), and I wound up sleeping nearly five hours! Didn't realize I was that tired...guess next time, I'll have to set my alarm when I just want to take a cat nap--and, speaking of "cat naps," mine are real--woke up with one cat on top of me, one sharing my pillow, one curled up under my arm, and two at the foot of my bed! Thank God they don't have fleas! At least, I hope not...
Loads of good Doctor Who stuff on the net, today. Really enjoying it. Won four games against the computer, in cribbage--then the computer turned around and beat me five times. 
So, I shifted to another card game programme, and beat the computer at whist and euchre, but got trounced in 7 card stud poker...win some, lose some. 
It's been great, reading PM's and e-mails from my friends, but I surely do sometimes miss hearing another human voice at home. Mostly the only people that ring me up, are bill collectors and wrong numbers. Oh, there's voices alright (no, not in my head--yet 
) but the workmen downstairs--drove me nuts this afternoon, banging on the wall literally beneath my feet--on a Sunday night, no less! Really wearing thin, my patience, after 6..no, 7 months. Tired of headaches--never had headaches until I moved here..now they've become a regular thing. I swear, sometimes I hear hammers banging in my sleep--oh wait, I do for real! Yeah, last week they started in at 8 am--and for the second time since I've lived here, I hate a "word" with them--not the word I wanted to use mind, as I'm too much of a lady. 
Well...it's been a long night, doing the same old things...but, not long enough--once again, have to get up at 5 am for work, tommorrow. It's going to be a long winter, it surely is. I wish I made more money, so I could afford to get another car--but even if I could find a car--with a reasonable down payment--I can't afford the payments...don't even know if I'm going to be able to cover the rent, this month--or next month either, if I don't find that second job soon. Well...no one said life had to be fair or easy, but sometimes...even though things are looking up, I still feel very...weary of the world. I try hard not to, mind. But, can't help it. I feel old, some days lately.
Speaking of growning old--thanks to everyone who made my birthday so much more than I'd ever expected. It's strange, people I've never met in person, who live, for the most part, thousands of miles away in other countries, wishing me well---and not one person in my family even remembered! Okay, so it's just two or three people, but stil...any wonder why I don't care to celebrate my birthday, anymore? I try not to let it bother me, but, yeah, truth to tell..it hurts just a tiny little bit, way deep down. But..my family's mostly always been that way, so no huge surprise, really.
