Wednesday Notes
10:05 p.m. / 22:05
Today I gave up on reading Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day. It's not bad exactly... just isn't good enough to keep going when there are other books waiting. So, I turned it in along with two other books it was clear I wouldn't get to before they'd have to be turned in.
I've been experimenting with almond milk as an alternative to... well, milk. I like it alright on cereal but I'm less certain about other applications. Noticed for the first time to night a small note on the carton that says to use it in seven days after it has been opened. That could be a problem.
When the weather starts to get cold, as it is now, I get more tempted to let the cats sleep on the bed at night. I have to force myself to remember that they will inevitably wake me up 1 - 3 hours before the alarm goes off and that I will at that point regret not shutting them out of the bedroom for the night.
In crappy news, I had PAY STUDENT LOAN on my TO-DO list for today. This was all fine and good until I logged in to pay and discovered I didn't pay last month. I need an accountant and a maid. It's not that I don't have the time and money, I'm just incompetent. I don't really have enough money for an accountant or a maid, though.
Just remembered my grandpa is in the hospital. For some reason, I've been having trouble getting properly upset about this. I guess it's just so not surprising since he's been having more and more problems and he didn't seem to be doing too well when I saw him Sunday. Grandma seemed more annoyed than concerned; that did kind of bothered me. They usually don't call us when this stuff happens but one of my aunts happened to call them, I think, and she spread the word. My parents went to see him tonight but I had to work. I don't know what visiting hours are but since they live an hour away it wasn't realistic for me to go after work.
I should really go to bed.
