Posts have been disappearing a lot lately. I routinely write then select and copy to keep it on my clipboard when I hit send. Sometimes I have to open another browser window and navigate back to paste it in to post.

The kitchen is cleaned up again. It's a lovely day, and I went out and pulled some of the clothes pins off of the lines. I should have done that in November and forgot. The lines are 2 years old, and that long out in the sun is more than enough to break down nylon and plastic, so they will be replaced on general principals.

I have this really cranky old cat who is really noisy when he starts howling. He does it all hours, and has no sense of decorum as far as howling at you at, say 3am. Last night I thought if I picked him up for a close cuddle he'd shut up, but when I set him on the sheet he let out a watery cat fart that was by far the worst one I have ever smelled IN MY LIFE. And it wouldn't dissipate, it just seemed to get worse. I had to scramble out of bed, pull off the blankets, change the sheets, change my PJs just in case, and then I kicked his butt out of the room. Geez. I seem to have been paid back by the god of the annoyed cat an hour or two later when I awoke with the single worst cramp in my calf that I ever remember feeling. I literally writhed on the bed until I could get to the right angle to finally force my foot flat, and shift out of bed to put my foot on the floor. It still hurts now, like a bruise in the muscle.

What a night!
