I just walked in on Olga using the cat box. She stared at me like I had committed the worst possible faux pas. Meanwhile, she yowls if I ask for the same dignity by closing the bathroom door. Yeah, this cat.

Well, the first in home care gal was a bust. She was nice, did good work, but she won’t be coming back.

I am now a single issue voter. Do they or don’t they support making the Commemoration of the Halloween Blizzard 1991 a state wide holiday. It is a day full of traditions, like making sure the shovels are waxed and the snowblower works. What other traditional ways you would celebrate the new holiday?

I am very pleased to announce that I have another grandkitty. He’s a four year old, big headed void, and hasn’t told Second Born what his name is yet. I’m just so glad SB has a kitty friend for what looks to be a rough winter.
