26 October
Looky me! It's the 26th and I'm writing the entry for the 26th! What a treat! Although my readers will be confused with everything being so uncomplicated.
Yesterday I wrote three entries and posted four, as I realized that I accidentally hadn't uploaded my entry from the day before, and apparently I have no readers left, because not a single person said "Hey, there's a link to the new entry and yet no new entry," so clearly, my readers are all really over my updating flakiness.
Come back! I'm back on schedule! Honest I am!
I have all these little itchy spots on my ankles and shins, things that pretty much can only be called "bites", but what has bit me?
The only thing that they remind me of is flea bites, as long long ago there was a flea infestation in my house in LA, between the three dogs, the backyard and the carpet in the den, it was flea central and I remember counting more than one hundred bites on my lower legs and feet. My parents had no bites at all. Fleas love me, it seems.
Well, these bites are like that, except that my cats don't have any fleas. I haven't seen a one, and they aren't scratching and biting themselves as they would if they were personally infested. Also, I have no carpet, so where would they live in my house?
Mystery bites. I really don't want to know what they are.
I was thinking something yesterday.
Sometimes, just as I am about to get off the van and go home, I am overtaken with this wave of happiness. It's not like my house is that great--it's an appalling mess and (apparently) chock-full of invisible shin-biters. It's not like my life is that great, I'm a big ol' horse who is getting past her sell-by date in terms of finding True Love, but basically, when you come right down to it, I'm happy.
It could be that I'm wrong to be happy, that my happiness means that I have no sense of reality, but I do love my cats and my family (real and adopted), and I did make a movie and write a book, and my job isn't too awful and I like most of the people that I work with, and Christmas is coming!
Are you a generally happy person?
And we're still talking about romance, getting well-know phrases wrong, attending our high school reunions, and being from a small town.
Today's horoscope:
Today the watchwords are safe, sane and sensible. Any financial moves should be very practical. Use your common sense.
One year ago today:
I was hugely fetishistic about the whole thing, and I had utterly forgotten about it until last week when I went to the library.
