February 18: I don’t even know

I don’t even know what to write tonight. I hung out with Annika and my niece all day today. We made crafts, they watched a movie while I ran to get more craft stuff, they played, I cleaned up the yard and bunny hutch, then we made more crafts. It was a fun day.

Then Annika went to stay overnight with her cousins, which left me all alone here. I watched the Olympics. I never watch TV, but it was kind of fun. Speed skating, snowboard jumping, bobsledding, downhill skiing, some hockey highlights, and of course, figure skating – in this case, ice dancing. I love Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski, mainly, so I just kept watching. The most exciting part was a nip-slip by a French skater; NBC had to cut away like it was a Super Bowl halftime show. Poor girl.

To be honest, I was kind of depressed after Annika left. Sometimes I crave being alone – some weekends during the debate season especially. But tonight was kind of sad, so I just sat around being sad and watching the Olympics, then checking out Twitter a little, then watching more Olympics. I just realized that it was almost midnight and that I needed to make sure I got in my writing and then got to bed, because I have to pick up Annika tomorrow morning.

Now I’m going to stop writing and go to sleep. I want to make sure I get my writing in before midnight. Anybody making the mistake of reading this probably can tell I’m tired.

I kind of feel like the day doesn’t end until you go to sleep, though… even if it’s after midnight. I wonder if that’s typical.
