You Gotta Dig Deep.

Sometimes a Sheep finds reserves deep within her woolly self that she didn't even know were in there. Other times, not so much. I can be a lazy little critter. But I'm capable of surprising myself. Sometimes...

I was tired last night after my teaching day and the start of my new class. Too pooped to pop. Too tuckered to tango. Too weary to wander... But, apparently I had some of the git 'er done spirit left in me because I somehow managed to finish this:

One sock finished. And the cat is not impressed.

But I felt pretty good about it. And if my self-esteem is that dependent upon the felines of the household then I may have some problems. Okay. I'll admit that I'd hoped for a little more of the love. But you can't please everybody. You should have seen them when I came home tonight with a giant tub of fresh kitty litter. I was elevated to hero status.

I ended up doing a bit more of the grocery shopping tonight than I normally do on a Thursday. Shopping night is Friday. As I usually end up having some sort of, "incident" when I attempt to do my weekly marketing, I prefer to do it on a night when I don't have to be at work the next day. I need the recovery time. I often don't sleep so well after grocery shopping. I spend a great deal of time lying awake in my bed wondering why everyone is out to get me. Or at the very least determined to make me wait in line for endless hours in order that I might gain sustenance and fabric softener.

However, it looks like we might be having something of a, "weather event" tomorrow and I wanted to make sure that there was frozen pepperoni pizza in the house. As I pretty much eat nothing else, there is a very good chance that I will starve should I be trapped for even a short period of time with none of the chilly pizza goodness on hand. Tonight, I may lie awake pondering the behavior of my fellow shoppers, but I will do so knowing that there will be pizza in the house. In the best case scenario, I'll be having a snow day tomorrow. But, I 'm not thinking that's going to be the case at this point. I'll need to review the weather data before I feel comfortable making a solid prediction. Another three day weekend would be quite the coup, though.

Maybe the cats would be more impressed with a second sock?
