hit the ground running

I hate these days where I have to jump out of bed and get rolling. I much prefer to sit and ease into the day...

Today is not that day.

I've been out and to three different corners of the city so far. I still have to head north again, then south, then home. There's the traffic (light first thing, then getting more busy) and the people - some taking their time, some like me, getting in and trying to get out as soon as possible. I almost hit someone who was speeding through the parking lot - why speed in a parking lot? You're there, mate! Speeding in general is annoying...I mean, who hasn't come across the guy who is whipping in and out of lanes, cuts you off and then you find yourself behind them at the next light. They got nowhere. I wish there was an instant greeting feature in my car, where I could send a message to them saying just that - "you are now ahead of me instead of behind me, however, we are both at the same light. Hope you don't hurt somebody by the next light xoxo lili." Mind you, I also hear people who, having been in three or four accidents that I know about in the time I've known them who say they are great drivers, its everybody else who can't drive. I say I have never been in an accident and I know that the next time I drive could very well be the time where I schmuck somebody off - its all split seconds, I've been lucky so far.

The cats are fighting over sunbeam rights in the kitchen.

I'm going to the library shortly to see if they have any books for sale that I can use for altered books. I have two here for bases, but the one I started before Christmas and I'm not sure if I like it, and the other one I've started but I feel I must have more! I mean, what if tomorrow night comes and I screw this one up and I've nothing new to play with...that sort of reasoning. Besides, they are so cheap - fifty cents each, and well...I like paper and things. The one I'm working on now is purple in base, and I've decided to go with "circles" as a theme for that one.

I'm off again...have to hurry here and there so I can get home and be truly relaxed...
