Randoms

Oh I thought that was a clever title until I typed it. I was going for Random Comments and I ended up with more like Random Condoms... Maybe I should have tried Randments.

• House cleaner came today. I am so lucky. The house will look great and smell wonderful when I get home. Yahoo.
  
  
• I shall use this weekend to organize my computer stuff for the new arrival. Back up, copy, make lists, find stuff, etc. I know the drill. But, this time I have a 40GB external USB harddrive that is going to, I sure hope, make everything ever so much easier! But, I still need to get a plan and get organized.
  
  
• Today's plan was to finish off this big project on the external website - clean up, fix, add some stuff - basically touch every one of the 120 web pages. I got a good start yesterday and hit the zone this morning and finished it all before 11. And I really mean I had planned to spend the day doing this. So at 11, I'm done for the day. And the next 3 things on my ToDo list don't ned to be done immediately and are boring uggy things. So I spent an hour cleaning up my online website bookmarks. I have a meeting from 2-3 and then I'm done for the day.
  
  
• I got my cat, Betty, after Pizza died. Pizza was the most special cat. I got her from a vet who had put her back together after a car had turned her into road pizza. She was already pretty old when I got her but full of spunk and she felt like velvet. Every morning, every single morning, as soon as the alarm when off she was in my face. She never bought the concept of snooze button. I really miss that.
  
  Betty has been with me now for five months and in the past few weeks she's taken to sitting right next to my face every morning. Not touching, just sitting there. She has no problem with the snooze button. In fact, this morning, when I hit snooze she just stretched herself out right there. It cracked me up. I wonder if she found a journal or something that Pizza left.
  
  
• I wish my boss would surface just a little and give me a sign that she still plans on coming back. But, then, if she doesn't (give me a sign or come back) I'm not sure what difference that would make. I just have such a higher level of comfort with her here. Plus, she'd just have a fit over all of the changes I made to the website - she'd tell me how brilliant I am and how much she appreciates what I do - yadda yadda. No one else here gives a shit really.
  
  
• I wish the Twinkies would learn the value of working from home.
  
  
• This journal and LiveJournal have really become an amazingly important chunk in my life.
  
  
• Wearing a wig is fun.
  
  
• How is it that so many woman enter a public restroom stall armed with a permant marker and I don't? Ever.

Have to agree about 2 things for sure ....how important LJ has become to me ...and the permanant marker in the public loo thing ...?? I have never ever taken one in the loo with me either!

Clean house and cats...just the last few days I have discovered that my cat Bullet has taken to urinating on bathroom rugs. This is a new thing. I think I need to get another litter box going. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get rid of the smell these days. I pull up the rug and wash it and clean the floor but I am forever suspicious and smelling it everywhere. I'm no clean freak so of course there could be smells coming from long-ago cats, stuck in the living room carpet or elsewhere.

My daughter mary always manages to remind me that it smells in there, even when I don't notice it, so I get even more conscious and concerned. Yet i can't say I am going to any great lengths to do extra cleaning. If anything, I'm doing less these days.

Good job on the web changes!! I think, for the pages I maintain, that I should have some separate office really fit out for the job. I get distracted and don't get it all done and put it off a lot. They are both nonprofits and I do the work for free, from home. Because I'm self-taught and haven't ever seen a professional web design group at work, I am far from efficient, but getting better.

So the wig is fun. It seems like it could be a nuisance, but no?

Ohhh too weird. I woke up this morning to cat poop on one of the bathroom rugs! I'm pretty sure it was because the outside door was closed. I keep one litter box in the bedroom and one on the terrace. At some point Jake and Betty apparently agreed that the bedroom one was for pee and the outside one was for poop. But, it's now too cold to keep the outside door open all the time. I'm not wild about a kitty door but I'm not wild about kitty poop on the bathroom rugs, either.

How do they know to go in the bathroom anyway?

So far the wig is not a nusiance at all. It does itch a little sometimes but less and less as I get used to it. It sure is easier in the mornings. Get dressed, put in contact lens, put on hair, out the door!

That's the question, all right: how do they know about bathrooms? There are other little rugs in my house that Bullet could choose, but he hasn't. At least, not yet.

Am glad you are getting a new PC. Nothing like a new computer.

So the wig is turning out ok, eh?

I am about to put on my wig to test it because it was too long and I had to trim it. I figured out a way to paint my nails myself. I look like a freak but that was the point!

I would love to find out who takes a magic marker into the bathrooms at work. Such pigs.
