Best part of today: About mid-morning when, during a particularly busy rush of customers, Ruby decided that she had to pee. In the middle of the yard. About two feet away from one of the displays. Oh, Ruby-cat. Aside from that, though, she was very very good, either playing greeter or supervising from a chair on the porch ( Read more... )

Thus, I am ever-so-valiantly pretending that I never saw a thing and have abandoned my plan of getting a snack and starting a load of laundry (which would involve walking through the kitchen to the laundry room).

Still alive, if anyone's wondering. Terribly behind in all things online per the usual, but still alive. Will hopefully catch up over the weekend. Yes, you've heard that before. My intentions are still pure. :p ( Read more... )
