In spite of the fact that the door was originally hung by an incompetent, we got the door down, installed the kitteh door without incident, and re-hung it. Skanny and Old Kitteh have already used it; we’re going to leave it taped up until Tuesday because P will be home to make sure they can […]
I took the dead vines off the fence today. I had help. It was weird. Really weird. Went pretty quick with two of us, though! I found a few of P’s phlox flowers that had escaped the frost, so I picked them in hopes of not having to sit and feed Sarah. I had her […]

I was still in pyjamas and couldn’t go get a flower. She refused the plate with paper towel, but was content to have breakfast on my hand.
I just happened to poke a banner on Amazon that promised over $100 worth of apps for free. I downloaded a few; deleted the trivia game once I realised the questions were kind of stupid, and it kept popping up in-app purchases in my face. It had also required me to create an account, so […]
