Grocery day!

[susandennis]

Finally my fridge and I agree. We need groceries. I've always wanted to be organized enough so that I'd use up all my groceries before I go buy more. I've never even come close. Until now. I'm not on it exactly but I do have one whole empty drawer. And one very nearly empty shelf. BV I rarely went one week without popping into one grocery or another. Now it's two weeks. I'd love to stay on this schedule.

I sure do miss Trader Joe's tho.

My new desk turns out to be good for my posture and eyesight. I end up hunkered down over my laptop both out of laziness and ease of reading. Now, when I'm basically just reading stuff, I can easily raise the table up to head height which I can sit up straighter and see more easily. This is good.

Turns out, Biggie has gone vegetarian. Yesterday evening, I found a bit pile of cat barf in the hallway. Upon examination, I discovered 2 nearly whole flies in there. Way better than foam bits but still. So far, he seems ok. He did his usual last night. Climb up into bed, snuggle into me and proceed to bathe himself thoroughly. And this morning, he seems a bit more calm than usual but ok. I'd love to see him eat something but he rarely eats in the morning anyway. So we're watching...

It's another lovely, cool and cloudy day out. I have not yet had to even turn the air conditioner on. Nice.

The next big clean up is the bedroom/bathroom. The bedroom is fine but the bathroom needs work. The big stuff - toilet, tub, etc are fine but the floor still has some litter on it in the corners from when the litter box was in there. And the baseboards need putty knife work on them. That all may happen today... or tomorrow.

Ooops. here's a downside to the great desk real estate. Biggie now sees no reason why he can't roam it at will. It's so hard to see through a cat. Next time, I'm getting a transparent one.

I was really excited about transparent cat photos for a second, until I realized it would just be photos of your apartment... Not to say that that isn't interesting, but not quite as exciting as the Biggie photos we're used to!

[susandennis]

OMG. You are right. Photos of a transparent cat would be less than satisfactory. So I need one with a switch. Cat ON!/Cat OFF!

I bet eating flies is what made him barf.

If you have a moment, could you post a link of your desk? I’m always on the look for one to use in the bedroom.

[susandennis]

Absolutely!

Time is fun, when you're having flies! ...Until eating them makes you barf.

A transparent cat could be a big savings at the vet: never pay for x-rays again!

Meanwhile, back in Doggo Land, Chloe has been hunting and torturing Bumblebees. :-/

[susandennis]

OMG now I have something more to be grateful for! Chloe might not have considered the pitfalls of fucking around with bumblebees. Meanwhile Biggie just ate another fly. holycrap that cat.

Not to mention that, rather than speculate about what they might have eaten, you could just look.

Imagine how much more trouble Biggie could get into if he was invisible!

I miss Trader Joes too. It was a Saturday morning tradition. :( I miss my DnD game too

I miss TJ's too, mainly for their inexpensive wine and huge bars of dark chocolate.

I put a cardboard box on my desk, within petting range. Not a complete solution but it helped a lot.
