My Kitty-Cat
In some ways my cat is more like a dog. She's very needy. The stereotype is cats are aloof and independent. Not my Charlotte. When I go to bed, since Cha doesn't want her in the bedroom with us, Charlotte tends to whine for a while. According to Cha when I go out she sits by the door and cries til I get back. Today she was crying a lot because last night she tried to climb one of the bookshelves and knocked a bunch of DVDs to the floor, so to punish her I ignored her most of the day. I wouldn't have been so upset except she tried to climb the shelf three times yesterday, and I finally locked her in her pen for a time out, so she knew she wasn't supposed to be climbing that bookshelf. Sometimes I wonder though. There are things I'm sure she knows she's not allowed to do, because she'll be doing them and all I have to do is raise my voice or start to get up and she'll stop. Why she starts doing them in the first place I don't know. Perhaps she forgets or perhaps it's a game for her. I suppose it'll be easier once we move into a house. Then I can get her a cat condo that she can climb to her heart's content.
I was looking at houses the other day and came across one that was almost perfect. It lacked a fireplace, which isn't a necessity but is on our wish list. Cha wants something in northwest Lubbock, whereas I want something outside the loop, and the place I found was both. Ideally in addition to location, we want three bedrooms. We'd also like two (or 1½) bathrooms, a garage or at least a covered carport, a fireplace, a basement, and a decent size yard. I'm thinking to get the perfect house I'll have to buy the property and build it myself. I've already started planning that part.
Yesterday I got through Bestiary 1 working on the random encounter tables for temperate mountains and freshwater. I didn't get to my wiki or The Net Guide to Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. I forget why I didn't. I think part of it was just not feeling like it. Today I got halfway through Bestiary 2, and didwork on both my wiki and TNGTACK. admittedly I didn't get a whole lot done on the wiki. I'm working on the deity Elmúlás and part of the problem was when I did the picture I forgot Elmúlás was a female, so most of my time was spent redoing the picture. Then after I finished the picture the program crashed before I could save it, so I ended up doing it twice. But I'm happier with my third try anyway. I did write her history too, but it's pretty sparse. For one thing Elmúlás is one of the deities I haven't given a lot of thought to. For another thing my creative juices just weren't flowing. Finally I had Real Genius on the TV, so I was a little distracted. I've decided I'm going to take the day off from Pathfinder tomorrow. Go at it fresh on Monday. This'll also give me some time to mull things over and perhaps the spark of creativity will strike.
Good news, Cha's new charging cord came in yesterday and she has her MacBook back, which means I have my laptop back. On the downside I didn't exercise yesterday. I will definitely be exercising next week. I need to lose this excess weight and get into shape. It bugs me how much excess weight I'm carrying, especially the visceral fat. I've been keeping track of my weight, and until my tape measure broke a few weeks ago my bodyfat percentage. As soon as I can get a new tape measure and calipers I'll start tracking that again as well. As I've mentioned before I'm not overly concerned about my weight or bmi, as long as my bodyfat percentage is below 20% I'll be happy although below 11% would be better. It's kind of like my blood sugar, I'd love to get my blood sugar below 100, but as long as it's below 126, I'm happy. I think it was 111 last Sunday. I'm not sure and don't feel like getting up to check, but I know it was below 126.
