On a comeback, after sleeping only 75% of the day away.

Sunday. Breakfast. Tidying. Amanda, Gen & Imogen. Sleep.  Lots of sleep again.
(I literally went fetal on the couch before I was sent to bed by a slightly bemused room of ladies). 
Yummy dinner (my stomach is almost back online for things that are Not 80% sugar).  Dishes.
What a day.
I think I slept more than the cat today, but she’s quickly making up for the deficit. So competitive.
Arwen’s watching the housing bubble burst day-to-day, and I gotta say how glad I am that I (well, we) didn’t listen when people we telling us we had to “get in now, because it’ll only ever go up.”
The two lovely old-guy couple that owned the house behind ours (actually OWNED it) sold about four months ago, Right before the fan was hit with the proverbial poo hose. Now it’s being put back on the market again, and not by a flipper, which is sad, ’cause it’ll most-likely lose money.
Arwen’s playing Guitar Hero II (been a while for us) and I think there needs to be a new music game in the house soon, ’cause after a certain point on these games, you get into the songs that are only there because they’re difficult. Nobody LISTENS to them on purpose.
Probably why so many of the tracks on some of the other music play-along games out there are songs by BucketHead. That dude is insaaaaaane.
Oop, I think I’m up now.
Wish me luck feeling better tomorrow, ’cause I’m tired of being tired all the dang time.

I spent most of the day sleeping, ’cause I seem to have about 25 minutes of life in my batteries before I need to crash out again.  Got up late (the kids don’t have a weekend schedule), and I slept on the couch for a while before we wandered outside to get some loonies (dollar coins, for our American readers) for laundry, and then looked at fish and lizards and what might have been chincillas (?) at Aquariums West.

Managed to get home *just* before I crashed out again in Ripley’s top bunk ’cause our bedding was in the laundry.

Remember last week, when I was all “Lookie me, I made Pot Roast!”

Yeah, today Arwen did THIRTEEN loads of laundry today (Tate’s potty training, and somehow we’re just wearing more, I guess, maybe?)

Are ya… are you truly grokking how incredibly fascinating my day was?  Like, WHOOO!

We watched Simon Pegg’s new movie “How to Lose Friends and Alienate People,” which was a bit of an anti-Hollywood/NewYork thing, which is interesting, considering how Hollywood Simon Pegg has been getting over the last few years.  Last time I was in Rogers Video, and renting Pegg’s “Run, Fat Boy, Run” and the lady behind the counter started asking if I’d seen Spaced, which is pretty rare in Canadian circles, being a BBC4 show.  Good though, that our boy Pegg is going places.  Maybe now the rest of the shows cast by his friends will start showing up over here more, too.  Black Books, Green Wing, maybe even some No Heroics.

Maybe you have to be a certain KIND of Canadian, but we seem to like what they do over there, and then the folks to the South seem to like paying us to be funny for them.  Up here, we’re all “That was pretty good, y’know, considering you’re Canadian and all.”

Okay, I have no brain left now, and need to eat something before my stomach gets wobbly again.
