Things I am obsessing about today:
2 Scrabble letters, an E and an S. I had them on a shelf (along with others, spelling out my name) and I moved everything off the shelf in order to paint the wall (haven't done that yet). I put all the letters into one big shopping bag (with all the other stuff from my desk, which I moved into another room) , and when I unpacked that bag and went to put my name back out on a different shelf -- there were the E and the S, gone! I say "ghosts"; Robert says "you mean the cats?" Anyway, it's really sad how much I can obsess about losing/finding small things like this, so that everything will be all right, somehow. It doesn't matter how many times I check and re-check the shopping bag, they are definintely not in there. They wouldn't be hard to spot - the bag is now totally empty. I'll probably only check it like once or twice again before admitting defeat and moving my obsessive thoughts to other places these two tiny wood squares could be.
Also, Francis (the Evil) chewed up the lampshade that belonged to my grandfather (which I put on my new antler lamp) and then knocked it on the ground and it's not really fixable. I mean, maybe a little, but...I don't even know how to repair such a thing. I'd need to put that stitching stuff back in - the part that holds the plastic part to the wire part. See? I can't even explain it! I will check out eBay today for sure. I am so annoyed, though! OOOOOOHHHHH Francis, I outta punch that damn cat. The good thing is that I immediately went to petfinder and finally, finally listed that little demon (and the 2 others) so that I can trick someone else into taking her out of my apartment.
At least the antler lamp didn't break, too.
