A couple of weeks ago, I had a work deadline coming up, and I worked some extra hours to get things done. It didn’t help that MFH was working long days at the same time, plus I ran out of the children’s chewable vitamins that I take. Then I got a sore throat, which turned into a nasty cough. I am still trying to get over it. So I have not gotten much done since the deadline. The up side is that before I got sick, I got things working well enough that I can rest on my laurels for a bit. This week has been more of a “the charge is $1 for tapping the pipe, $99 for knowing where to hit it” work week; I haven’t worked very many hours, but when I finally got down to it, I easily knocked off the task that I wanted to accomplish.

Another hindrance to getting work done is OLC, who loves to climb up on my desk, strew my supplies around, type with my keyboard, open random applications with my mouse, and turn the monitor on and off. My voice is half gone, so I’ve had to cut back on reading books to her. Sometimes, she sits and “reads” aloud to herself.

We are probably going to move this summer, so I’ve been spending time online looking at places for rent closer to where MFH works. Yesterday I crossed several possibilities off the list when I discovered that they were only “pet-friendly” to declawed cats. No way I’m going to take away Kitty’s only defense against OLC. I also think that the “pet rent” that some places charge on top of a hefty pet deposit is ridiculous. My cat doesn’t take long showers or anything like that. Anything she shreds with her claws should come out of the deposit, not the rent.

There are other exciting things going on that I can’t discuss yet. This summer, hopefully.
