dchenesI don't know why I bother making resolutions, especially this year, because who knows when and/or if I'll be able to do anything fun. But, just in case, I would really like to go diving again. Ideally I'd like to get my advanced open water certification, because I only need two more classes and 10 more dives. I would love to do that in Bonaire.
I waited too long and the quilt I was considering buying isn't available anymore. I don't really NEED a new quilt yet, anyway, but I'd like one for next winter. Maybe something I can live with will be on sale in the spring sometime.
I tried to sneak up on Quirk while she was napping and trim a couple of claws, but she foiled me by not napping for quite a while and then wondering what I wanted with that foot. At least she was bemused rather than annoyed. That's a baseline I can probably work with. And I discovered she'll wash every single molecule of butter off the end of my finger if offered it. Useful to know in case I ever have to hide medicine in something that isn't cat food. I haven't tried provolone on her yet.
It was nice not to have to be glued to the computer for a couple of weeks, but I did glue myself to it enough to find out that there was a new No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency book out in November. So naturally I went and bought it, and read it in an afternoon, and it hit the spot. And there was actually an elephant in it. The last thing I had read was the third book in the Poppy War trilogy, which is dystopian, and I read it for closure's sake because I'm living in enough of a dystopia as it is. I know that Botswana isn't really like it is in the books, but if it were, I would very much like to go there.
I was supposed to go grocery shopping today, but I haven't even managed to get the laundry out of the dryer. I did cook a bag of dried chickpeas, so now I have six cups of cooked chickpeas in the freezer, but I really want chickpeas and greens and I didn't go out and buy any greens.
Giving a cat a toy that makes noise is almost as good an idea as giving a kid a toy that needs batteries. I gave Quirk a ball with a bell in it because I wanted her to have a non-catnip toy, and she's very fond of it.
