Pets
13-Mar-04
The pets are determined to drive me crazy today. I went out this morning super-early (7 AM) to take Hammer’s dog beds to the laundromat and wash them. While I was bringing the beds into the house (before leaving), the cat ran outside and up the hill. When I got home, he was standing at the other back door, so I let him in. He was wet. Bwahahaha! Told you so, cat!
Meanwhile, Hammer did not eat his breakfast and had diarrhea on the carpet, which I had to clean up. SIGH. And in the hall carpet, which I seem to have stepped in. SIGH again.
After cleaning those messes up and spraying the whole living room with Febreeze, since I’m having company over tonight, I’ve been sort of sleepily wandering around the house. Allegro, meanwhile has been walking around the house meowing pathetically, and running away when I move unexpectedly. I can’t tell if he’s feeling sick or is just lonely, or maybe hungry (he ate all his breakfast before going out this morning, and I suspect he thinks I’m going to give him more). In any case, he’s basically whining and wandering about the house.
Maybe I’ll go take a little nap. I’m sure the cat would eventually join me (he’s dry now– it’s been a couple of hours since I got home) and would probably cry until I snuggle him.
Oh, and unrelated to the pets: I tidied up the bathroom and put the table linens in the china cabinet in the living room, where the dining-room table actually is. Hey, there’s an ergo tip: have table linens next to the table, not down the hallway! Duh.
Have to figure out what to do with all my photos, though. I have a whole bunch of photographs from my whole life (3 boxes, plus some albums, etc.). I want to do something a little more…. useful with them, other than put them in boxes and store them, but I don’t know what I should do. I’m sorely tempted to hire my sister to organize them into photo albums this summer, if she has time.
