A morning

i am not a morning person but my bladder is a morning person. we have a difference of opinion. my bladder wins every time.

i got up every hour, hour and a half this morning starting around five. i was not unproductive (apart from my bladder). i cleaned up cat puke and dog poop, spilled cat food on myself and the floor and cleaned all that up, fed the sick cat several times (in isolation, in the bathroom), tended carefully to a broken thumbnail, picked up clothing the in-heat cat (different from the sick cat) knocked onto the floor, set a variety of beans to soaking in the cold electric skillet, stuck two dried chili peppers in with them just for the hell of it, put a pound of hamburger meat (beef) into water to thaw (will use only half, save the other half for juicy lucies another day), chopped up some colorful mini bell peppers and more dried chili peppers and put them in a bowl, chopped an onion and put it in a different bowl, mixed chili powder with my specials seasoned salt, dried onion flakes and minced garlic and set that aside, got a can of diced tomatoes out and set it on the cutting board, next to the thawing beef, ripped spinach into tiny bits and put that in a bowl, put all the fresh-food bowls into the fridge (left out the tumbler of water in which the tube of beef is thawing, the can of tomatoes and the little bowl of spices). made juice for richard as he was running low. washed dishes, washed jars, put stuff away, responded to some posts here. played on howrse. read email. played two accounts on throne: kingdom at war. still have a lot to do on howrse. have to let sick cat out of bathroom, brb. back now. fed dog while i was at it. have the tv on, listening to untold stories of the e.r. i think it's time to nap....
