5: Week In Review

1. On Tuesday night, Bailey was snuggled up really close to me (read: I was pretty much hanging off the bed).  Well at one point she stretched and pushed me a little bit.  I was dead asleep but woke up just enough to realize I brushed up against something.  I wasn’t sure what it was though.  Then I heard a sound like the remote hit the hardwood floor, but the remote was in front of me.  What on Earth was that?  Then I heard a pitiful “meow.”  Poor Campbell was sound asleep next to me in the bed, so when I got nudged, I nudged him out of the bed.  And he fell.  Onto the hardwood.  On his head.  What kind of animal doesn’t wake up when they’re falling?  What kind of cat doesn’t land on his feet?  The poor dude.  He’s okay–but I think he thinks the fall gave him hulk like abilities.  He’s been trying to scale the walls since.

2. I shifted my shower routine to the evenings.  I’ve found it so dang relaxing to crawl into bed squeaky clean.  It also feels really nice to wash the day away.  I actually find it more relaxing than a bath in the evenings because I bring my phone/ipad/book etc into the bath with me so I’m still engaged.  In the shower–it’s just me and my thoughts.  I’m a fan.

3. Occasionally, I’ll download a bunch of free books from Amazon.  I almost never read them, but I like “having them” in case I run out of things to read.  Well the other day I finished a book and was in the mood to keep reading.  So I randomly selected one of the free books I’d downloaded years ago.  FOCUS  It was about a woman who was diagnosed with a degenerative eye disease and how it (and the treatment) changed her life.  I figured it would be good enough.  Well, the book was chalk full of inspiration for writing.  There was no way for me to know that when I dove into the book.  But it said all of the things I needed to hear at this specific moment in my life.  I love when stuff like that happens.
