secret decoder ring

puking cats make me nervous. to me, a puking cat = death. i'm worried because honey has been puking since last night before bed. i'm really hoping that there's nothing wrong, but i'm honestly a little scared. this morning i woke to the sound of her barfing on my bedroom floor at 4:45. i couldn't fall back to sleep. thankfully, my rude awakening made me realize i still had my contacts in. my day was tiring and i felt like ass all day because i only had 5 hours sleep. feeling tired makes me feel sad and i just didn't have any resilience.

i wore my glasses to work today. numerous people were commenting on them, apparently they'd never seen me in glasses before except, i HAVE worn them before. ferrence even said to me "what are those things on your face?". then he corrected himself and said "thing, why are they plural?". i told him because there are two glasses. he still argued with me. so i said "what about pants?? pants are plural". then i wondered why pants are plural and shirt is not. they've implemented a new dress code at work. i'm not particularly happy about that. secretly i kind of like being dressed up, but the frugal side of me doesn't like buying work clothes. so i resent this new standard. however, i do relish the fact that all those jean wearers finally got shut down. sweet justice.

a nice warm sunny spot in my day was when i arrived home to find a package in my mailbox from dawna. yay! she sent me a book called "the friday night knitting club". i got into some cozy clothes, tucked under a blanket and cracked it open almost immediately. THANKS DAWNA! your timing was impeccable. i'm gonna go read.

she said i look exactly the same as when i was 13, except only cooler.
he said i'm worth it.
i say i can do this. i hope.

what goes up has so far down to fall.

hi.
this is beckie.
i'm bored.
school is cancelled for us until friday because everybody's sick.
more than half the school is out.
seriously.
but don't worry - it isn't a serious illness, nobody's dying.

oh les, it was my pleasure... i loved that book and couldn't put it down... i'm sure you'll enjoy it too. so, happy reading!

and i can't wait to see that finished tea cosy. it's funny, i want a teapot now so that i have a reason to make a tea cosy.
