Nice, Relaxing Morning and Randomness

shad­owkatt is lay­ing in the floor of the sit­ting room, pet­ting Shel­ley and exhort­ing Wiz­ard to watch his lan­guage (he hiss­es every time he sees Shel­ley). Actu­al­ly, she just bit him (after he bit her). He’s not used to humans who bite back. Kit­ty ears are sen­si­tive and don’t have THAT much fur. I know he was neutered as a tiny kit­ten, but he does­n’t always act like it.

sam­bear has gone on a (sup­pos­ed­ly brief) out­ing to Kroger.

curiousmay9 did return home yes­ter­day and leave for her trip ear­ly, ear­ly this morn­ing. I had asked her to do that, as she was real­ly too tired to make a 6+ hour dri­ve. I’m very hap­py she got the extra rest.

We expect waya and otter­gr­rl in less than an hour!

And the laun­dry is almost whol­ly finished!

Today’s Sin­Fest is very good.

I need to get some warm slip­pers, the kind with the “treads” on the bot­tom for trac­tion. I’ve nev­er liked slip­pers, but in a house with tile, slate, and wood floors, they’re going to be a love­ly thing.

Yay—I’ve fig­ured out how we can put a king-sized bed into our room. I’ll just need to find very small night­stands that we like or a head­board with space for that built-in. I’d love one of those adjustable beds, but I don’t know that their mat­tress­es are actu­al­ly as good as others—and I imag­ine they’re WAY more expen­sive. It would be nice to be able to move the bed when I’m in a bad flare, though. Mount­ing small lamps that can be direct­ed as desired would be bet­ter than hav­ing those big lamps (for­mer­ly from the liv­ing room) sit­ting on the night­stands, anyway.

Before the rest of us woke, sam­bear start­ed work­ing on get­ting the router up and run­ning and get­ting the net­work cable strung to the upper floor in a tem­po­rary man­ner. He’s so sweet 🙂

We’ll soon be mov­ing the lit­ter box OUT of our bath­room, as the cats get accli­mat­ed to each oth­er. That will be very nice! Sam and I just don’t sleep very well with Shel­ley (or any oth­er crit­ter) in the room. She will not be happy—she prefers being in our room or Katie’s room any­where to being in the rest of any dwelling.
