Today I slept from noon until seven. It's because I had a lot of trouble sleeping last night and barely got more than a few 30 minute catnaps in over the course of the seven hours I was lying down attempting to sleep. I have two kittens now, and they are insane at night with the wrestling matches and the jumping on me and using the bed as a jungle gym. I also had some coffee at nine and a large amount of Diet Dr. Pepper even later than that. Weirdly, I didn't have a whole lot on my mind to keep me up. That just made the inability to sleep a little more frustrating.

I've got to draw up a contract tonight for a freelance gig I scored. I totally would have done it today, but like I said: I slept. What are you gonna do, right?

I did have a really great dream, though I can't remember if it was last night or this afternoon. It was one of those dreams where almost everything makes sense, and you don't have to make a lot of mental stretches to figure out what the dream means. There are things you just know and things you have to figure out, you know? This particular dream was just a picture of the life I hope to someday have. Nothing more and nothing less.

Ages ago I talked several people's ears off about my then-girlfriend's hands. One of the people who had to hear me go on at length about her hands is actually my girlfriend now. Weird how that shit works itself out. Needless to say I still feel kind of weird about the extent to which I got moony over someone else's hands, and needless to say she still gives me crap about it from time to time. Tonight she changed her tack though. Tonight she told me she would give me full permission to go on at length to other people about her. Not about her hands, but about her breasts.

So, what do you want to know? I don't even really know where to start.

I think she actually tricked me into not saying anything about her. I've always been a little more shy than most people think, and she has always been fairly crafty.
