We were able to get her out of hiding for a bit. Lots of petting and scritching. Gentle scruffing. She hung out on the bed with us for a bit without either of us holding her and then she slunk back under a bedside table. She did use her litter box during the night, so at least she is coming out of hiding on her own for that. So, lots of patience ahead.
Miss Kitty seems to be getting the idea that there is something of interest in K-Bug's room. But again, she doesn't seem to worried about whatever it is.
Heh, the bathroom is the coldest place in the house, and the cats have fully taken it over.
ION, I adore having my former students, who are primarily Hispanic, on my FB feed. HOWEVER, it's sometimes pure torture on holidays, as they post pix and descriptions of ZOMG utterly delicious food and drink at family celebrations.
OTOH, the second I post anything along the line of "Delicious!" or "SO JEALOUS!" I am flooded with genuine invitations to come over and join the festivities. I have gone to a couple (weddings, quinces) and, while a party filled with Mexicanidad may be annoying to neighbors (music! dancing! talking! tons of people! up all night!), they are hands-down the most fun parties I have ever been to.
I love my ex-students so.
Went out to goodwill to get some drinking glasses (can't go wrong at 50 cents each, and found some nice ones) and ended up at DSW and bought a couple pairs of shoes. Oops. I blame my friend who stopped by for a bit and confessed she has too many shoes and just bought more there.
Did not remember to stop to get de-linters though. Ah well. Now I'm just going to sit and read, I think.
wow, my fridge had a bunch of nasty stuff in it. Now to feed the compost and take out the trash.
I believe I shall celebrate my independence by taking a nap.
I went to Goodwill today too. I tried on a great pair of black womens cargo pants. Cool, comfortable, fit like a dream, looked great, four bucks...except the wiastline was so damn low! I was wearing low rise panties and they showed on both sides! I know girls wear them low on the hips, but man, there`s no way. I do way too much bending and stooping and general scrambling around.
I finally finally finally took pics of E's clothes to sell on ebay. Now to make many many listings. If you are in the market for size 6 - 10 shirts, my ebay name is msbelle also.
I have taken advantage of my independence by sitting on the futon and reading a novel-length piece of LOTR fic. Huh.
Now I shall go do the dishes and head off for a barbecue. So exciting.
My family took the annual pilgrimage to the town my mother grew up in, to the best clam shack. There was some excitement when I realized there was a deep fried bee in my basket! They took it off the bill AND gave me some new clams, but I honestly almost didn't send it back. I'm sure that's got to be a delicacy somewhere, right?
Man, I just looked more carefully at the knitting pattern I've been working since yesterday afternoon and noticed an important symbol for an increase that I just glossed over until I got to a row where the count mattered.
