My schedule has gone way off. I woke up a few hours ago, having fallen asleep on the couch sometime before 6 p.m. I'd been out shopping with Guido. We stopped at his place to play with the new kittens Pastina and Farina. Then back here to drink sake. When he left, I ate. And drank more sake. Then it was 1:30 a.m.

I tried to get back to sleep -- no luck. So i got up, unsure where I should drink the rest of the sake or make a pot of coffee and start the day. I opted for the latter.

So now I'm back to sorting through paperwork -- filling the box of old documents that will be torched, hopefully tomorrow. After all, do I really need 20-year-old credit card receipts?
