Only when I won't be able to do it at my preferred hour!

I kind of like working on holidays. The rest of the company has it off so I can park very near the door. Plus most of customers don't call in--except for the ones who will call in later in the afternoon all pissy because they put off something obnoxious till the last minute but now it needs Fixed. Right. Now!

We've been crazy productive this weekend with organizing and cleaning and stuff. Today I thing getting the deck in some kind of shape and hitting the grocery store.

I was thinking of going to the folklife festival today--it's every Memorial Day weekend here and I haven't been the past few years. Lots of music and dancing and vendors.

I would go to things like Folklife so much more often if I could just teleport there and not have to deal with parking. Maybe once we get the light rail station that will eventually be within walking distance of our house...

Susan, it's totally true!! Somehow getting there isn't so difficult but just thinking about the clusterfuck that tends to be "getting home" (the busses on the way there are fine but on the way home are always full, there's never a cab to be found, but parking is a pain..)

Kitties like to hide and can not eat or drink when they are fussy or in a new enviornment.

You could probably still successfullly corral Hazel into a room and she may be getting water from another source. Penny doesn't drink from the toilet (that I can tell) BUT she'll get in the bathtub after I take a shower and lick the tub clean. Even if I've just put down fresh water.

Cats are weird.

Lots of squee inducing stuff in here! I was conventioning all yesterday, so I had a lot to catch up on. Date, kitteh, house, adulting in general, yay!

I should be adulting, but I'm decompressing in my pyjamas after two days of panels and too many people. I find WisCon panels very enjoyable, but I'm too much an introvert to feel comfortable with so many new people. One of my work friends was supposed to be there yesterday and we were going to hang, but she had a low spoons day and bowed out. Other local friends/acquaintances were there, but I constantly felt like I was butting in. I still had a great time; their keynote speaker was Kim Stanley Robinson (whose fic I've never read, I'm afraid to say) and was a very enjoyable speaker on population, climate change, and consumption. I think I'm going to check Overdrive for stuff I can check out of the local libraries.

Cats are weird.

Truth.

I have to say, she is very spry for an 11-year-old -- she got up on top of my kitchen cabinet! Via the counter, fridge, and door.

Oh, I didn't realize she was such an old lady kitty, Jesse! That is very spry, and cunning.

Askye, yeah, that's why I wasn't too worried the first day or so that the kitten didn't eat. But after three days of only seeming to lick the food, it was not good.

Yay having a good time, Sail!

I was trying to finish reading my book about habits (from the woman who wrote about happiness), because it's a hardback I checked out of the library which is due soon. But then I felt like I should DO something with my day, so I hauled out the ladder and put a few nails in my porch overhang, and hung the LED strand of lights that I bought. So hopefully now they will light up at night and make the patio seem even nicer. Though having tons of people over, all sitting around on the patio was super neat, it was totally how I pictured it being!

Sounds like my old tuxedo cat. He did the same thing. And he liked high spaces that were very narrow; used to scare the shit out of me when he'd pace the handrail at the front of my loft. Twelve foot drop, cat!
