Good morning!

Trying to wake up, some days, is far more difficult than it should be. I've been sleeping very poorly all week, and it doesn't help that I had to get up earlier than normal today. It took me a good hour to wake up, and that was right up against the point at which I'd meant to leave... So of course I left late - complicated by the fact that I needed to stop to put air in my tire again.

Have I mentioned my tire before? It's got a slow leak. I feel like it says something about me that when I went in for an oil change/maintenance (3500 miles and several months ago), I totally forget to get it looked at. What does it say about me? I dunno. That I'm forgetful at 7:30 in the morning, while still not fully awake? I see a theme here.

It confused me at the time, of course, that the leaking tire moved. It wasn't for a couple of days I remembered they'd rotated the tires. >.< Either way, the next oil change is due, as well as my NY inspection, so it needs to go in sooner than later as it is. I'll just have to remember to ask them to look at it while it's in.

As an aside, while leaving my parking lot this morning, I drove past one of the other folks in my complex with a Shih Tzu - in this case, an old lady. Her dog, compared to Jasper, is downright tiny, and has extremely fine hair. The more I see other Shih Tzus, the more I'm amazed that Jasper's built like a brick and with very coarse hair.

The fact that he's not the brightest? Seems right in line with every other Shih Tzu I've met...

All my drawings are online now, FYI - they're scheduled one per day, which brings them out pretty much to the end of April. If I create anything new, I'll just schedule it to post up at the end of that stream, if I actually draw anything before they've all posted.

Anyway... I'm more or less awake now, caffeine or no. And willing or no...
