pantryslutMiscellaneous items of note:
1) I think I have figured out that the mysterious bruises that have been popping up intermittently on my arms and legs are the result of being walked on by cats while lying in bed. (Time to take some supplements.) I know I used to describe the sensation of being stepped on my Morgan, who is very heavy and has quite tiny feet, as akin to being walked on in high heels, but this is a little ridiculous. Besides, I think the main culprit is Fritzi.
2) Dialup is my curse. I had to rebuild my OS last night after my remote access files succumbed to bit rot, and it has helped reduce -- but not eliminate -- my problems with getting mysteriously kicked offline by Earthlink.
3) It is hard to buy sandals in September. I guess I should be thankful to Birkenstock and Teva for perpetuating the idea that sandals can be worn in any weather (except possibly snow). But only if you wear ugly-lookin' socks with 'em. No thanks. But momma's got a new pair of shoes nonetheless. And the weather's sure right for it. Summer's not over yet...
4) I haven't done any writing since I've moved, except my writing group exercise. But it's only been a week, and that seems OK, especially since I *have* set up the TV/VCR/DVD complex and unpacked my desk, as well as shelved and sorted a small mountain of books.
The cabling mysteriously disappeared from aforementioned TV/DVD/VCR complex. I have no idea where I packed it. Usually I am smart and leave those things hanging off the back of the unit. In fact, that's just what I did with the CD player. Very odd.
(VCR/DVD and stereo are both needed for me to do my work, so if I were paid by the hour, these tasks would be billable.)
5) Speaking of the stereo, I'm still trying to figure out where to put it. I think in the office, with a second set of speakers in the living room. But where can I put it that will cause minimal reduction in potential bookshelf space? I am having the same problem with dressers/wardrobes and the bedroom.
6) I have a lot of t-shirts.

Date: 2003-09-12 05:17 pm (UTC)at certain crunchy granola colleges of my acquaintanceship in minnesota, birks were considered appropriate footwear all year round. if there was snow on the ground, you had to wear thick wool socks, however. ugliness optional.

(Which, by the way, is an excellent answer to that question in any circumstances.)

Date: 2003-09-12 08:09 pm (UTC)My Domme has a cat that's heavy with tiny paws, too, and it walks all over me at night. Why is it that some cats are polite enough to walk around or over you, and others just step right on? They must be trainable in this regard. If I were there more often, I'd experiment. Of course, when they walk on me, I wake up. Sounds like maybe you sleep through it.

I have a third cat, but her territory does not encompass the-bed-with-people-in-it, for some reason. She is, of course, light as a feather and would never bruise my tender flesh.
