Treating myself to a Dr. Pepper; I think I deserve it after cleaning the shower drain and siphon today. It was even more traumatizing than normal, since my sister has developed eczema and has been using thick shower/bath cream. So besides the normal hair there was a thick layer of white cream coating everything. As long as she's using these products we'll need to clean the drain more often.

Oof-da .... just ventured outside whilst the sun was out - shoved enough snow off the driveway to reach the trash bins (amazing how much piles up when you're trapped indoors) - snow is now wet & heavy - shove not lift. Then broomed off the car and freed the wipers - will let the sun & wind do the rest. I'm exhausted - but thoroughly warm for the first time in 3 days.

Heading out soon to squeegee off the car windows before going shopping.

Cats ... the final frontier ...

when Pixie was a kitten she had no problem with trimming her nails

as she has grown, nail trimming has evolved from fun ... into a game ... into blood sport (my blood) ... into frustration ... so I decided to get a soft neck collar to even the odds

I dug out the soft cloth measuring tape to measure her neck - and we discovered a fantastic new cat toy - she went crazy over chasing the tape - especially when I unexpectedly press the retract button - and it vanishes!

Now we both get exercise whilst stuck indoors waiting for the snow/ice to melt - running madly through the house trailing the measuring tape over furniture

I'm typing this during a time out for fluids and rest ...

Who knew?
