Literally. Every year, my dear Aunt in Michigan makes hand knit mice which are stuffed with her homegrown catnip. Needless to say, she is our cats’ favorite Aunt. Ever. These mice last the full year – well chewed and licked and loved. For some reason, these mice are also a prime target for mail theft.…
As promised, I am here to report on my fuck-uppery when it came to replacing my toilet seat. Yes, I did it myself. Yes, it was a fucking nightmare. I look at the current (broken) toilet seat (replete with duct tape); specifically, at the hinges on the back. To my utter dismay, there is no…
Why didn’t I think of this? We’re just home from our nice holiday trip to Los Angeles. I even write a blog extolling the joys of coming home. Last night, at about 11:30 p.m., I’m getting ready to go to bed and ….. The toilet breaks. Fuck. Now, this might not be such a…

(Best cat toy EVER) Ollie was sick for so long. He’s still thin, but the little shit is making it known that he is feeling just fine now, thank you very much. First, he started refusing his prednisone; even though it was mixed with his favorite of favorites – BUTTER. Second, Ollie has not felt…

As I posted before, just before our planned trip to Glacier, Washington, I took my car in for a going over since we would be far from home and it was a long drive there and back. I had one issue – there was a little rattle in my engine – now and then. Other…
(Looks like the roads have gotten any better since we were through there on 11/26.) We were up near the Washington/Canadian border the week of Thanksgiving. There is a timeshare place up there that we really like, and we enjoyed a very relaxing week up there. Well worth the 2 day trip to get there. We…
