I'm trying to focus on positive things today. Yesterday evening I skived off roller derby practice for the first time in ages, because of my health insurance woes and also the fact that the roads were like ice skating rinks and I don't ice skate. So we sat at home pretending we were snowed in. I roasted some carrots and some squash and we finished the leftover meatloaf and it was all rosy. Chita was calm, domestic, even snuggly-- though she always snuggles with Z, not with me, boo-hoo. Unlike the previous evening, wherein I had run around the house in my underpants, brandishing a mousie on a string so Chita would chase it and wear herself out, and had offered to take my top off so Z could help me make a hilarious video of "topless blonde plays with pussy", har har.
Anyway.
No dice; Z wasn't amused.
(It would so be a YouTube meme in no time.) Watch, someone is going to steal my idea.
Last night she was not active at all, and I naievely assumed that this meant she was still tired from the night before. But no.
This morning at 5 am she demonstrated very effectively that she has got her voice back. And at 5:05, and at 5:15, and at 5:30 (she gave me a mini demo on the use of her claws at that time too, someone is getting a trim tonight), and at 5:37, and at 5:45-5:49 unceasingly, and so on. I finally got up at 6:15, and went into the kitchen to make beef stew.
( So, not being negative. )
I should make this worthwhile, however, by including the beef stew recipe. But I don't have the recipe for dumplings with me, so I will have to reserve that for later, or, failing that, go back later and find the post where I know I've already posted this. (No! It was an Artvoice column I wrote! Hm, I'd better go find that instead.)
