HOP – Nope, i haven’t been doing the Hour of Power for the last 2 months. Blame it on the darkness of the early hours. Blame it on the warmth underneath two layers of blanket. Blame it on me for thinking too much when the alarm goes off. Should I get up? Isn’t it too dark out there? Can I wait till tomorrow to do the HOP … and by the time I finished my thinking, I already slid back into my dreams.

The cleaning ladies are here. I really don’t know what I would do without the cleaners. I’ve become more lazy lately. I rarely cook. I only go grocery shopping if really necessary.

I should at least make the banana bread today. Got a new recipe with cranberries. Sound like a good combo.

The rats are making me mad. First, they ate away the cabinet frame, left droppings everywhere. Now, they’re eating Quasi’s seeds, and again leave the shells all over the place. And they poop and pee on the pillows. Uuuuggghhhh !!!! I already gave them plenty of talks and warnings. They either leave my house, or get killed. I guess communication with rats is a one-way street :) The traps don’t work. They’re too big for the traps anyway. So I got rat poison now. I need someone to dispose of the rat bodies …
