When is it going to END?! Every time I turn around, it is just one thing after another!
Here I thought everything was going along well, and while walking down the street, someone commented on how drab and shabby my clothes are. I just kind of ignored the comment, but later I started wondering about it. I looked in a mirror, and you know what, they were right!
Well, since I have been saving up my FP to buy some new furnishings, I haven't been spending much on anything. So, I guess I did let my clothes get a bit rundown. I took a little trip over to Farseer Fashions and bought a few new items. I must admit that the look is a little better, but I am getting really stressed out over the money thing.
Well, well. Business seems good at the moment. The electronics store is moving along slowly, but it is moving. I just bought a new shipment of cool gadgets, and was able to get them at a discount. I just hope that the wonderful citizens of Cozyville appreciate them for the coolness that they really are....
Saturday morning came bright and clear. I could hear the birds chirping in the trees outside the house (of course, then I heard Night go out through his little cat door, hunting again).
I woke up a bit at those sounds, but realized that I didn't have much of anything going on that day. So, I settled back onto the pillow and dropped back into a deep sleep.
Next thing I knew, I felt as if I was flying through the air. I saw a marvelous vista of endless mountains covered with snow. Off in the distance, I noticed a hot-air balloon rising from a valley. I swooped near it, and discovered it was filled with Puppeteers (from Larry Niven's sci-fi books). They were staring at me, making all sorts of wierd gestures with their "heads".
Suddenly, I was walking through a deep, dark forest, filled with incredible sounds. I saw a bit of light off in the distance, and as I got near it, I realized it was a small glade. A hill filled the glade, and there was a circle of toadstools on the side of the hill. I noticed movement to the right, and watched with wonder as a unicorn entered the glade. It proceeded to the toadstools, and trampled them all into mush. As I started to walk towards the unicorn, I felt this tremendous weight land on my stomach. With a lurch, I sat up, and saw that Night had come running in wanting to play, and jumped onto the bed (and onto me, oof).
Oh well, I guess it is the nature of dreams to be fleeting bits of wonder.
After a grueling week of work and trying to keep the ever active Night under control, I took the time to go out to an afternoon matinee. I saw Robots, a new animated movie. It was so much fun to watch! I keep smiling whenever I think about some of the scenes in it!
What joy! What wonder! The ever present tax collector came around and got me today! Here I thought that Cozyville would be immune to such things. I guess that I have to do my small part to pay for schools and services in the community.
Well, I woke up feeling a bit under the weather today. Runny nose, cough, lots and lots of sneezing. So, I dropped by Malexander's pharmacy and bought some medicine. Hopefully it will help clear this up soon.
Meanwhile, the tax collector came around for a visit. Yech. What a great addition to an already miserable day.
