It's a venti black coffee from Starbucks kind of morning. I haven't slept in days. Thank you early edition of ragweed. You can leave now. As I was walking back to my desk, I was remembering the last time I ever splurged on the venti. A gray, mid-morning Starbucks run during college. My roommate and I hadn't gone to bed the night before and were spending the day in our room, pouring over books. Yes, I did study once in a while. Normally right before tests so these all-nighters were not uncommon. It's odd how something as normal as buying coffee can bring up a random memory of such an ordinary moment.
This week went by so quickly but so slowly at the same time. Feeling sick from allergies definitely put a damper on things for me. But we did (almost) have some exciting news! Someone we know has some adorable eight week old kittens that need a home. Of course we jumped on the chance to see if we could adopt one of these furballs. I took Ricki over to the owner's house last night to meet the kitties and he did okay. Didn't growl but didn't quite warm up to them. I expected as much. So the next step was to bring one of the kittens over to our house this weekend to see how they interacted on Ricki's territory. But when we got home and Ricki went straight to his bean bag chair, I could tell that he was feeling very territorial. How could we bring another animal into the house when he is so clearly king-of-the-castle? So the kitten idea has been put on the back burner for a few years. Eventually we'd like to have a dog and cat at the same time, but right now snuggles from Ricki are all we need.
Adam's taking the day off today to play in Rover's Morning Glory golf outing. I can't even imagine what it's going to be like. I just hope he makes it home in one piece!
That's all I've got for this week. In a coffee bean: Adam is snoozing till 9, Ricki is commandeering the couch and I'm googling caffeine IVs.
The ragweed is killing me too! I've been sleeping like total trash.
