Live blogging of the (unfortunately) awake kind.

Le sigh.

Even the presence of an additional piggy in bed (hello, Annimellie) didn't help. So this is the second time I've turned on the lights in an hour. And I've decided to stay up ... mostly because I can't breathe.

I forgot to mention that, when I moved the monstrosity of a bed, I was then able to rehouse two bags of stuffed piggies (um, bags stuffed with stuffed piggies) as well as E.T. into the cabinet adjacent to the bed. I may still bring out Tickle Me Elmo tomorrow.

Okay, now to find something interesting on the web until morning.

Sparkly, just like my card from neevebrody!

Hey, imagine that. I got the ... er ... nearly missing card. Despite the lack of a return address and the other complication, I guess the posties in my division were feeling generous and still delivered it to me. So I have a sparkly card, too, from you! But, then again, two Neeves are better than one, especially if you EACH get a John or Rodney!!!

Thank you, again.

La-la-la ... thunk!

Oy. Shortly past 11 and I'm already off to bed. Well, I've been ready ever since last night, though I did eventually manage to fall into bed at 3:30 a.m. and slept until the alarm woke me up at 6:30 (and I keep having to backspace to fix all of my typos, because the brain and hands are tired).

I booked my ride for the Christmas Eve service tomorrow and then had brekkie, one of my faves, aka honey garlic ribs, baby Chinese-style veggies and nutty nice. And, then, of course, came the digestive nap. While I was lying down, BD called so he could get my particulars, as he was going to contact customer service so we would be on the same vehicle tomorrow evening. But I did get another couple of hours. When I woke up, I had to force myself to get ready to go out. Eeeeeek! No. Hot. Water. Well, there went my plan to wash my hair. And even brushing teeth with freezing water is not pleasant.

However, I did go out, got money to pay my rent, picked up two cards, candy canes and a cheapie yucky set of big, coloured lights (because my tree is feeling sad). I then crossed the street and picked up a carton of mandarin oranges, gummi bears, cola, dried figs and petits pois. And then I walked home. But I wasn't done yet. I tried picking up the carton of John's junk he wanted to store in the locker. Ha! Not bloody likely. I couldn't pick it up. So I went down and got my two boxes of Christmas deccies and - with all of the leisure time I'll have tomorrow ... NOT - I'll be decorating, too. So, I was exhausted when I came back, but still had to do the dishes. Luckily the water was turned back on. Lunch was sorta, kinda gummi bears followed by another entree, this time sweet & sour chicken balls on lo-mein noodles with mixed veggies. I also sent holiday wishes to G and hope I'll hear from him the first week of January.

I was sleeping when John came home, but he was a busy beaver and did a whole bunch of cleaning and tidying up. I gave him a really nice fake fur coat one of my friends from church had given me (it's too tight); it looked fabulous on him and he even has a matching fur hat. We talked for a little while, I had a bowl of his organic beef chili and then I wished him a Merry Christmas in case we miss each other in the hustle and bustle of the next two days.

Okay, time to order my body to rest (despite the glass of cola I just had, but then that type of caffeine has never been a problem). Could I be that lucky tonight???
