Oh dear. So far almost nothing has broken through my bad mood, but pictures of Sparky, husband, and baby Kalliope worked. She's such a sweetie. I esp love the pic of her sleeping with her tiny hand holding in her binky. Brings back memories. Kat's right, BTW, we found several places to buy those binkies online, and I've even seen them in my local Target.

Whack a Kitty

Brilliant!

Caulking finished. Clearly not a professional job, but now water can't get into the walls anymore. I'm out of practice (I actually used to be good at caulking. NSM anymore.)

Wave to b'more peeps, we are passing 695.

And we have acheived DC.

Sweet Kalliope! Lovely pictures, Sparky.

Lo! I have wielded the String Trimmer of Destruction, and the grass is a-mown with my wrath!

Today, I:

• went to the farmers' market
• bought a bunch of shit at Home Depot
• hung up temporary paper "blinds" in the west bedrooms (they were cheap, and do make a difference)
• ripped possibly 78 years worth of caulk out of my tub
• ate 3 pieces of cantelope
• wrangled the evil caulk rope and bent it to my will. With a lot of swearing.
• recaulked my tub
• went to Target
• planted 3 annuals and discovered neighbor A wasn't kidding when she said it was clay
• met her housesitter & friend who lives a few blocks over
• got bitten by 6 mosquitos
• chatted with neighbor B and got to see his basement (he's fixing it up as an apartment) OMGclawfoottub!
• hosed off the porch. I need a spray nozzle. Tomorrow!
• broke down and taped up garbage bags to the shower because omfg, I needed one
• made a salad for dinner

Which I am about to eat.

I am tired.

I slept for 5 hours today after a solid 8 hours of sleep last night. Bleh.

edited because I can't count.

I can't figure out if I should really be worried about Perkins the cat or not. He is clearly very mad at me and letting me know it, but he also hasn't eaten much of anything since yesterday morning, and he's been puking.

Is the You Cat drinking water at least?
