And he's fricken *gorgeous*, with that agouti coat and the wild stripey legs and black tail! Isn't there some schmancy breed he should be hitting the qualifying points for?

He is a VERY pretty boy, pretty in a different way from Finn. And his coat is very thick, even though the fur is very short.

Both cats are flopped on the floor, pooped out after playing.

I don't know that kids necessarily expect a different outcome. That's just part of being a kid, pressing that same button. Because it's the button you know. Can last well into adulthood.

Oh hey, time to wash more dishes.

Lee, that sounds...suboptimal.

pretty much. Hopefully they can fix it on Tuesday without me having to pay again.

Oh, god, yeah, no way you should pay for that.

Breakable things all clean and put away, sharp things all washed, time to get serious about drinking.

time to get serious about drinking.

I was about to start!

::fistbump::

I too have begun the evening's libation program. Great minds, etc.

So today involved much housework: vacuumed and mopped all floors, cleaned the toilets, cleaned both the kids' bedrooms, and even more. But now there is wine, and later there will be houseguests, so all is good.

I keep not washing the kitchen floor, because it's just going to get covered in salt again, but I should really do that tomorrow.

I wrote & submitted a rec for Taylor for a summer internship with NIH. Third load of laundry is on final rinse. No basement flooding yet.

Tomorrow, floor cleaning and generally sorting.

Oh and when I got out of the pool, we had a light dusting. 90 minutes later, I look out and there's like 3"! Winds are kicking up now.

Go Taylor!
