stew

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.)

I was going to go to Open Skate tonight. I really was.
I didn't really feel like it after dinner, but I was about to get up and get my stuff together and go anyway.
But then Chita came over and wriggled between my leg and the arm of the couch, with her paws in the air.
She hasn't snuggled with me in weeks.
I petted her tummy and she grabbed my hand, pretended to bite it, and then licked it affectionately for a little while.
She's been lying there with her paws in the air for like half an hour.

I have a sadistic cat. Who wants me to be fat and out of shape.

(I tried to take a picture to post but it won't come out. You'll have to take my word for it.)
