December first

Woke up at around 6am, hearing our Shepherd, Opal, yawning (loudly) and shaking her coat---wanting to go outside, even though it wasn't time. Nuts. She's usually so good at telling time, knowing exactly when 4pm hits, since the dogs get fed a tiny, extra meal then. I mean, she gets it on the dot. So creepy. She'll walk to the dog food container and will just stand there until you either feed her or yell at her to go lie down. I often opt for choice two being that it seems that someone (furry ones included) is always instructing me on the next step I should take. Gets sorta tiresome.

That said, Opal needs to bone up on time-telling, being that they actually don't go out in the mornings until 6:30am. Yeah, half an hour does make a difference.

Anyway, am stuck at home today, which is a very good thing. Waiting on my truck tags which were paid last week, thinking they'll get here in the mail today. I have, in the past, driven on expired tags, and yes, have gotten tickets for it. One year I got pulled over twice---within a 2 week period. NOT going to experience that fun again. Court ain't no joke. I'm much more law-abiding now, let me tell you.

So now must be off. Much cleaning to take part in, and the house is still reasonably quiet---everyone's not awake yet, so can enjoy a bit of alone time. Oh, and the kids eat lunch with my mom tomorrow. My first major alone time in over a month. Now THAT I can get excited about!
