Got something done

I'm pretty happy with the day, even though it had to start at 3am... See, last night Aleric thought sleep was just an option. Wait, let me rephrase that. Aleric made sure sleep wasn't an option. He couldn't sleep which translates directly into we couldn't sleep. He woke up at around 2am and was sort of whining, that quickly escalated into him screaming bloody murder and pounding on his door. This is a bit unusual so I ran in there to see what was going on. He was shaking and practicly climbed up me like you see those baby bears fly up trees! I have no idea what is freaking him out, but none of us like it. Ok that was just the beginning of the day. We fell back asleep around 7am and slept until 9. That was not nearly enough. Now I'll tell you why I titled this entry "Got something done" It's because while he was sleeping again (around 1pm) I went out and worked on the prelude. The belts were squealing even though I just replaced them. Perhaps it was to spite me for replacing them. See, I think the car had become comfortable with its' old crusty alternator/ac belt. They had shared many miles and developed into a sort of symbiotic relationship which I apparently had unwittingly disturbed. Trouble is, I threw the old belts out and the car is going to have to learn to cope. So I tightened those belts up and they seem to be getting along much better now. I don't have to turn off the lights and AC everytime my rpms drop below 1k. That's nice. As a strange side effect, my dashlights have begun working more frequently too! I'm sure it's unrelated but perhaps the car has seen the light and realized that some change is for the best. So the day was a good one, despite the rocky start.
