narcolepsy is not sex with cadavers

I just took 90 pictures off my camera.  Most of them were from the dodge ball tournament Joey and I had going this week after I bought a two-dollar plastic ball at Target.  You know the balls they keep in those tall wire containers that are big and light like plastic balloons?  Best two bucks I’ve ever spent. We had hours of fun kicking the ball around at each other in the house, and every time it ricocheted off something breakable like a glass candleholder or a window, I kept thinking about that episode of the Brady Bunch when the boys broke Carol’s vase with a basketball and Peter kept saying, “Mom always said, don’t play ball in the house.” And I was thinking about how Joey is lucky I’m nothing like Carol Brady because my motto is more like “Let’s play ball in the house, and if something gets broken we can blame the kitties!”

I accused Eli of slipping something into my diet coke last night because I came home from work, drank a diet coke with some pizza and then fell asleep on the living room floor for an hour and a half.  Joey was playing in my hair the whole time and jumping on my spine and I was still comfortable enough to sleep through it.  When I woke up, Joey was in bed for the night, Eli was in the shower and Friends was on TV.  I had carpet marks all over the side of my face that was smashed against the floor for 90 minutes and there was a wet spot next to my mouth from drooling in my sleep. This must be what narcolepsy feels like.

I had a lot to do this morning and I blew it all off. I was supposed to go to the lab and have my fasting blood drawn, but I screwed up my fast when I ate a piece of pizza for breakfast. I promised myself I would go through the stacks of bills and try to make some sense of them. They’ve been sitting in a pile on the table taunting me for a few days now, so to resolve that I moved them to a corner of the counter that’s hidden and put an oven mitt on them just in case I glance over. I used my bill time this morning to make two postcard secrets that I am going to mail later today. I know I’m too late to make it into the video but maybe they’ll show up on the website.

Anyway, I was going to show you some random pictures from my camera, but Joey is up from his nap. Next time…
