In which I am the mediator of The Eternal Conflict

    The funny thing around my house is how everyone over here is completely used to the fighting between our cat and dog.  It's a common procedure for us to mechanically step to the side as a black and white blur shoots past, followed by a noticeably slower gray one.  This procedure gets repeated so many times that we barely notice when a rumble like thunder echoes through our house.  Sure, we yell at the dog when she starts barking at squirrels, and we even reprimand her with "Bad dog: NO CAT!" every once in a while.

    However, if there are people over at our house while this tumult ensues, it becomes a focal point for the conversation.  They ask us how we handle it.  And we shrug and say "It's perfectly normal" with a smile.

The End of the Holidays

So, after a lovely week away from civilization at my cottage (a pity there's no internet there or I would have written a lot in this blog) we come back home.  To a few surprises.

1.  The dog has a bladder infection.

2.  It's raining.  Really hard.  And we have to get our luggage out of the car.  Pity.

3.  There's something wrong with the cat.  He's got  bald patch on his neck, which we think comes from the fact that dad gave him the dog's flea meds instead.

4. The yard is flooded.

5. The heater is on!  In July!  The house is HOT!

6. The heater won't turn off!

7. The heater won't turn off because it is submerged with water (!) because...

8. The basement is flooded.

Oh well, we're all quite cheerful, and the repair man is nice.  The weather reminds me of the day we moved into this house... "It rained like you wouldn't believe!"  "We believe!"  We were so tired that we decided it was impossible to cook anything, so we ordered pizza, found out they didn't do delivery, went to get the pizza, got stuck in traffic, and found we brought home the wrong order!  Such is life! :)  And life is beautiful!

On a funnier note, some how some kind of seed has made its way into my worm farm, because it's sprouting something :)

Random Chuck Norris Quotes

These are not made to make sense :)

Larry dislikes me

The Larry that I speak of is actually my nickname for laryngitis, which I managed to contract this weekend.  *sigh*  Just my luck, really.  I'm already unbelievably stressed without a virus hanging out behind my earlobes.  (I have an earache/jaw-ache that seems to center behind my ears.) Hopefully it doesn't get any worse.

I shall say nothing else because if I say more, I will probably start complaining.  So, I shall post this picture instead. This is me... I wish.  I have to do homework instead of taking advantage of being sick and watching TV.  There I go complaining again.
