Day 690: I'm spoiled

Usually I can sleep until I've just had enough, so I know I'm completely spoiled. Today, though, I had to set my alarm to wake up earlier than I would have woken naturally, so that I could be sure to be up when the yard cleanup guy got here. And then, after I'd been awake for an hour, I texted him to ask when he was coming, and he said... not until Tuesday. Urgh. He is so flaky. On Wednesday he'd called and asked if he could switch his commitment to come on Thursday for Saturday (today) instead, and I was agreeable. But then, this. It's typical, but usually I get some notice that he's not showing up. I guess I should have messaged him last night.

So, not having had quite enough sleep (which I am rather too sensitive to), I just kind of fumbled around for hours (played with cats, watched some Perry). Later we went on a moderately long walk, though, as the sun was setting, and then I worked on my big paper for a bit.

The sunset didn't look like much facing west, but the sky to the east was a pretty, delicate pink. Here's the view from the path through our neighborhood park:
