Have a nap, ita.

I have an entire page of instructions for my cat sitter on cat care and feeding. For someone who has their own cat. And there's another page of notes on things about my house in case she stays over. Neurotic much?

I'm taking care of the upstairs neighbor's cat and she didn't even tell me the cat's name.

So you can go too far the other way, I guess is what I'm saying.

Not neurotic, Sue. Just thorough.

We are driving from Idaho Falls to Boise today. Which is good as Boise is warmer and I am a bit stir crazy. I am stir crazy enough that it seemed like a really good idea to take Noah to visit Santa at the local mall to get his picture taken. I need to get out of this house.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Brenda, was the cat going to come when you called it? Probably not.

I think I just woke up and tried to arrange a dog visit for one of my friends. It's possible I need to stay off pain meds, or at least be restricted from the world while I'm still within reach of their very strange claws.

Can't nap! Must be at job site all perky at 8. Gnaargh. Sleeping the night through would have helped, rather than waking up at 12:30 convinced it was morning and time to go. Needless to say that wasn't the only time I woke up. It's just that when I woke up at 6:13 I wanted to cry and roll over back to bed.

Poor kitty. I have, in the past, included pictures of the cats with their names below them for cat sitters, so they'd know who was who. But usually my cat sitters know my cats, so it is mostly a joke.

I've been caught by not giving enough information. My cat Pico occasionally wheezes. It happens so rarely that I forgot to tell my neighbors about it when they were cat sitting. And then he started wheezing in front of them, and they freaked, and I didn't even give them my number where I was, so they were worried all weekend and not sure what to do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like a nap!

ETA: Would you believe google has an answer for this? [link]

Yay google! Actually, I have a sliver of soap caught in my sink drain, and I've been surprised how long it's taking to dissolve.

Oh, my god, I'm so irritable today, I am downright surly.
