Bits and More Bits

•  Brinkley and I are not getting along lately.  He’s been acting out for attention like a deprived teenager.  I took him out for a quick potty break, no leash, and he started running around ignoring me.  Again.  That’s twice in a week.  No more freedom for him.  He’s also been chewing on his feet too.  He’s going stir crazy while we’re stuck inside with no running.  He’s been eating like a pig lately too.  Maybe he is stocking up for a long, cold winter?

• The Castle episode on Monday was amazing!  I can’t get over how good it was.  I’ve watched it online once and on OnDemand twice.  I wish I had someone who watched it and obsessed over it like I do.  It’s The West Wing and Gilmore Girls all over again.  Great television must be shared, darn it!

• Brent’s hitch in Alaska this time has sucked.  Not for him, for me.  We’ve talked maybe twice for all of two minutes.  I did get an awesome package from him, which was a pleasant surprise in the middle of the week.  Brent sent Brink and Me some Anchorage Harley goodies!!  

• Brinkley is laying next to me at the desk.  His ears smell.  So, all of the eating and laziness as caused his ear funkiness to flare up.  Awesome.  I guess I’ll be cleaning ears tonight.

•   My toe is feeling a little better.  I can walk okay but sometimes if I bend it just right or hit something, it hurts a lot!  The bruising has almost gone away, which is good.  It was ugly!!

•   I rode the recumbent bike this morning for 50 minutes while watching Body of Proof.  It was nice to be moving but it definitely wasn’t the same workout as running.  I miss running.  It’s pathetic how much.  I’ll never take it for granted again.  Sniff, sniff.

•   I still have a huge bag of apples to use up.  I may make some more apple butter as it turned out great and it used up about 25 apples.  Mmm, apple butter.  I think I need to grab me a snack.

•   My desk is still a disaster.  I should put caution tape around it and set up camp elsewhere.  I’m not sure what my problem is when it comes to keeping it clean.  It’s the impossible.  Although, I can sit here and not have to move because I little bit of everything in reach.  Dog toy, check.  Hat, check.  DVDs, check.  Batteries, check.  Dryer lint sheet, check.  Socks, check.
