The reason for yesterday’s trip to TJ Maxx was to acquire summer weight lap coverings to accommodate the cats. (Firefly and Tali prefer a blanket layer. Rookie doesn’t appear to care.)
Here you see the lap covering, AKA beach towel, for the comfy chair in my office.
You also see the Tali seal of approval in play.

LOL!!! Local peeps! If you get the Bangor Daily News, take a look at the Top Maine Towns you Should Live In. Not only does Waterville not make the graphic, but Kennebec County doesn’t even show up on the graph!
Oh, wait.
*whispers* . . . did . . . did Canada adopt us and I missed the memo? Huh? Is that what happened? Tali’s standing on my desk right now, telling me she won’t at all mind being a Canadian Coon Cat.

So! Tuesday. Which I was for a moment convinced it was Wednesday, but Firefly straightened me out. Sunny and breezy. We here in Kennebec County, Canada, are laboring under a Fire Warning, due to dry air incoming, pushed by excess breeze. Well, there.
Trash and recycling are at the curb, and breakfast has been et.
Today has been A Week, and it’s just past 9 am.
Last night, I noticed that my left ankle, which I had sprained back in God, She Knows. When were we GOHs at ChattaCon? Then. (January 2012; I looked it up. Also — how long ago?) Anyhow, I noticed that ankle was aching last night, but I put it down to having actually been on my feet quite a bit yesterday, In Between It All. Sleep would fix it, I thought.
Well. I woke up this morning and said ankle was swollen, and still, yeah, achy. So I searched out the ankle brace and got that on. Came out and started a cup of chocolate tea, got out the milk while I was waiting for that to finish brewing, opened the windows, prepped the comfy chair, came back to my tea, took it into the kitchen, picked up the milk, absently shook it and!
You’re ahead of me, I can see the smirks.
Yep. Milk everywhere. I did a mop-up, but I still have to wash the utensils (puddles of milk in the kitchen tool holder by the stove. ick.), and make sure I got all the milk, oh, off the wall. Yeah, this may qualify as a Personal Best. I’ll check the record book.
OTOH, there are daffodils.
And how’s Tuesday treating you?

I learned the hard way that I should put my hand under the bottom of the soy milk container as I shake it. Of course, not opening it before you shake it is also something I learned the hard way (but absentmindedly do once a year or so, proving that there are things I have a hard time learning)!
I took my ‘fraidy cat to the vet this morning after dosing him with gabapentin and an anti-nausea pill (per vet’s instructions). Poor kitty was still shivering in terror at the vet, but he did not vomit all over the house on return, which is better than last time.
