Yep, I'm alive. At the parents' for a few days to dogsit while they're in Toronto. Over the last two weeks, I've had two different sets of cousins visit and, as such, have been way the hell too social for my tastes. :P

CB is back in town from Cambodia, too, so I need to see her... MG arrives in town tomorrow with the kids and I'm apparently going to a picnic with them and some other people on Sunday (?! I know, right?) and then next week [livejournal.com profile] drsnicket comes to town with her amazingly gorgeous and beautiful and smiley daughter, L, and there's a baby shower on the 1st for VP...

BUSY TIMES.

I did manage to see Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Very minor spoilers on my reaction to the movie. )

So... I'm dogsitting. This is an unexpected turn of events. My folks left for Toronto on Sunday and my brother asked me if I could come by the house on Monday to put the dog out, feed him, etc.

My brother just moved out with his girlfriend, so they're setting everything up over at their new place, and it just seems easier for me (and them) if I stay here at my folks' house. I work from home, so I've been chilling at the house since Monday afternoon.

Of course, I forgot two things:

a) dogs need to go out in the early AM.
b) garbage collection on Tuesdays and Fridays, with recycling on Wednesdays, means more chores in the early AM.

So my sleep schedule is completely, thoroughly screwed over at the moment. I went to bed at like, 1:30 and woke up, WIDE AWAKE, at 4:30. No joke. So I've been up since then (after only sleeping 5 hours yesterday) and have fed the dog, put him out and put the recycling out, too. Yay. Now, if I could sleep, I COULD sleep until about 1... but tired as I am, I am not remotely sleepy.

In other news, my maternal grandmother isn't feeling awesome these days, so if everyone wanted to think happy thoughts for her, I would love you forever.

And in yet more news, I was sad to hear Estelle Getty (Sophia from the Golden Girls) passed away on Tuesday.

Some Golden Girls clips that will undoubtedly cheer anyone up:
