good morning sunshine . . .

an excerpt from facebook this morning.

"A little back story, Bear, my big Maine Coon does not like my black cat, Ninja.  As kittens, they got along but once they grew up, they were sworn enemies.  Since we had a cold snap, I washed Ninja's bed which Bear has a habit of urinating on and set it up on the corner of my bed with a crib mattress protector under it and went to bed.  All three usually snuggle with me, but last night, I apparently flew solo.  Woke up this morning to that familiar stench of cat urine.  Not having yet put on my glasses, I reached over, grabbed the bed and tilted it towards me to get a whiff.  I got a bath instead.  EWWW!  Roast turkey, ham and poached cat on tomorrow's menu.  Washing machine going at full tilt."

i enlisted kidlet to dry the dishes, clean the litter and listened to her beg for bear's life to be saved.  she brought in the trash, ate the discarded egg whites, took out the recyclables and generally helped out.

this afternoon we'll attack the tumbleweed hair tufts and the litter strewn floor.  life is outstanding.

hey, at least i woke up this morning.  took off to pick up the piglet and i may have noshed a little.  made the triple chocolate brownies, and the deviled eggs.  i may have noshed a little.  made the dips.  and did two loads of stinky laundry.  two loads of dishes.  glued a plate back together that crashed and burned several months ago.

update:  

picking up cat toys from the dining room floor . . . went to grab the green one and it skittered up the wall.  good thing kidlet doesn't mind chameleons.  

plate crashed off the wall again and into the trash it went.
