for [livejournal.com profile] ismene, happy 47th birthday, billy idol.
awake and fed.

mmm

time to take a shower, pack the car, and drive back to virginia.

and then i get to wash all the cat-tainted clothing, which would be everthing we brought to this house. and my pillow.

(no, boy, not "cat-stained" clothing)
(no, not cat-shaped stains on the clothing)

anyhow, i might get up if he stops playing with my hair, which he's not allowed to stop doing. mmmmm.

it's a sunny day. and we should leave in the next couple hours if we want to get home at a decent hour.

la la la
home. *happy sigh*

got home a little over an hour ago. 7.5 hours on the road. we took the ben franklin bridge into philly, then the schuykill expressway to the PA turnpike... then west to harrisburg, picked up I-81... south to staunton, onto I-64 east... then sweet, sweet VA 20 for 14 miles to our road.

*bliss*

except for backed up traffic between the reading and lancaster exits on the turnpike (accident + holiday congestion), it was a smooth ride. driving the normal way (NJ turnpike to I-95 to dc to i-66 to US 29) is six hours on a good day. on the sunday after thanksgiving, we'd be lucky to hit DC in four or five hours... so we probably didn't lose any time and we didn't SIT on the highway as much as we would've on 95 and the NJ turnpike.

so... happiness. i liked the route we took. it was nice. it would've been gorgeous during the day.

i talked to mom for awhile (from west virginia into virginia), too. that was nifty. i'm glad she and dad gave us the cell phone as an early holiday gift.

sheets are in the dryer (they sat on the bed for a week and needed to be washed before then)... we have another mouse, so i put the trap back out. the gas company came to fill up the tank without prior notification while we were gone, so we're a bit peeved. gotta call the landlord about that, since getting hit with an unexpected $200+ bill right NOW is not very nice, what with holiday travel and gift giving.

boy is getting ready to cleanse himself of evil cat goo. when he's done, i'll shower, too. right now, i'm listening to [livejournal.com profile] xiane's radio show on WNRN.

after that, i think we'll sleep.

if i can sleep. i've had SO MUCH damn caffeine today. in fact, i'm drinking a can of coke right now. that's kind of stupid, i suppose, but my allergies will continue acting up until i get myself clean.

la la la
