disturbing thoughts and minor progress

dchenesI'm starting to get annoyed with myself for several of the stupid habits I acquired last winter. I no longer have any reason not to cook only things that don't smell like anything (like pasta, for instance), and I no longer have any reason to buy milk and then let it go bad because I can't stand to drink anything cold. As much as I hate to keep thinking about it, I'm starting to wonder if what happened last winter wasn't some form of psychological abuse.
So, this weekend I made mushroom and leek pie. It came out pretty well, although it mostly came out of the dish as mushroom and leek scrambled eggs because I decided not to put it in a crust and then promptly forgot to grease the pie plate. Oh well. Live and learn and don't do that next time.
The other great accomplishment of the weekend happened at oh-gods-early Sunday morning; I managed to clip one claw on each of Lily's front feet. I had to do it while I was still in bed and mostly sleepy, because that's the only time she'll stay close enough to me to let me do it. She was confused, but not freaked out, so maybe by the end of the week I'll be able to get both front feet done. On the other hand, she kept coming and standing in my lap yesterday afternoon and then using me as a jumping-off point. Maybe she has a future as a lap cat someday. I certainly seem to have a future as Her Human (capital letters intentional). I can live with that.
