domesticity

[piranha]

ah, finally. the house was starting to get on my nerves. but the paramour went to check out the boat and pay the last bill, and i decided not to go along, and instead to clean, clean, clean. so now the kitchen and bath and living room are as sparkly as i ever care them to be. ok, so maybe "sparkly" is not quite the right term, *grin*. i am a proponent of the "clean enough" school of household chores, to enhance the body's natural desensitization to common germs. *cough*. yes.

i also spent some time cuddling missy who got all excited when she heard noises from up here. i am not sure what she associates with such noises, since they are never followed by anyone taking her for a walk; maybe she was just lonely. while i was playing with her, all the cats came out to observe what nutty stuff i was engaged in, and so of course some cat cuddling x 5 had to follow the dog cuddling.

also refilled the bird feeders -- putting that new gazebo feeder in front of my window was a great idea; now the cedar hedge is alive with chirping, bouncing, squabbling, and flapping all day long.

now i am making some quickie chow with portobello mushrooms and rice, since i completely forgot to eat.

which i will now gulp down. ah; productivity. makes me feel good.
