Somewhere, Over the Rainbow

I sometimes wonder if I'll live long enough to see any of my dreams come true. I have this picture in my head of how I want my life to be, and it's nothing like my reality! In my dream world, I have plenty of money, I have my Marine Biology degree, I live in a nice clean house and everthing is great. Reality's a bitch! I'll probably be too old to do anything with my degree when I finally get it, I will ALWAYS be broke and having a clean house isn't going to happen unless someone else cleans it. Oh well. I have to take Smudge to the vet for his teeth extractions. I hope everything goes well. I'm really worried. If all goes well, I can bring him home after 4 tomorrow. I'm planning on leaving early, so that I can get him. I'm looking forward to going to Orlando to visit Christopher. Even though I talk to him every day, I miss seeing him. Since it will be just the two of us, we can do whatever we want. If the weather's nice, I'd like to go to Christmas. We went there when he was little and I remember it as a nice place. It's strange visiting places that we went to over 10 years ago. I imagine that I might have a difficult time convincing him to do something that's outside. He's such an indoor person. Maybe, since I don't get to see him very often, he'll humor me (hint, hint). Well, I haven't been sleeping well for a while and I have to get up at 7, so I'm going to bed. Or rather, to chair.
