Quiet Monday
It is a known principle of cats that they need to be in the middle of anything you’re doing on the floor (or the table if you do not ruthlessly train them to stay off). The Princess and the UnSullen are realizing this as they play poker in the living room. (Someone bought a “marked deck” from the dollar store.) Our tuxedo cat is helping as much as he can between being picked up and put elsewhere. This amuses me greatly, the banter and abuse thrown at each other amuses me as well. The Little Prince is quietly blowing bubbles in the back yard.
The plum tree still has not bloomed. I am in an agony of anticipation.
It is a slow-starting day today. Sometimes I need a slow day in the beginning of the week to recover from the weekend. Yesterday’s roasted-chicken stew was awesome, but I kind of wish I’d made pizza or something easy. I love cooking but it gets time intensive seven days a week. (I could post the recipe, maybe tomorrow. If anyone’s interested.)
Today is the day when I start on the third YA. I have a hazy idea about it, and it won’t get any clearer unless I work on it. So, off I go. If I get, let’s see, 2K in today I will let myself go poke at the New Sekrit Project. That shoudl give me some oomph to get going.

If you’re still in a photographic mood, perhaps you could show us your tuxedo cat

I vote for pls share recipe. I’ve become a chicken-roasting maniac and I’d love something else to do with one.

How I know that thing about cats: every time I slouch on the couch to read or watch tv, I get colonized by mine in a matter of 5 minutes top. Problem is, one of them likes to wrap herself scarf-like around my neck…not very comfortable…
