Two and a half hours of chorus rehearsal, with a six-minute break after the first hour and a half, makes for a rather long evening. I was really sorely tempted to dash in, drop off the attendance sheets, and dash back out into the warm weather. But I didn't do it; I was a good kid and went to two and a half hours of rehearsal instead. No rehearsal next week on account of spring break, and good heavens, do I need it. In lieu of a spring break, I'm taking a four-day weekend between the 18th and the 21th. So far I want to use it to do exactly what I want, whatever the hell that is. (Today what I want is open window weather, which makes me more inclined to do things other than staying home and not moving very much. It also makes the Hairy Beasts more inclined to hang around in the windows and get oxygen drunk, rather than hanging around on me and making me not move very much.)

Because sometimes you just need to take five minutes to watch kittens. I love my Hairy Beasts, but the BJDs as kittens were hysterically funny. Fortunately Lily has almost no dignity about anything that doesn't involve water. The other night I was throwing treats for her, and she stopped her front end so fast that her back end crashed into it and she just about flipped herself over. She didn't care that I was laughing at her, because she was busy making sure the treat didn't get away. Snip takes care of the dignity and Lily takes care of the brains.

'Tis the season for good blackberries, and I'm spending a lot of money buying them in fairly large quantities. There are worse things to be spending a lot of money on.
