rebeccmeister...we are now up to Cats: 5, Rebeccmeister: 0.
I mean, in this case the catio DID hold for several hours. I haven't gone back out to see if I can find George's latest escape method. And once again, the first thing he did after escaping was go over to the neighbor's juniper tree and rub himself all over it. So it isn't as though he's hard to recapture, at least.
I suspect he went under this time, rather than over.
Meanwhile: things have progressed/regressed to where I can't really tell whether it's just Brandi trying to kill me, or if maybe this is morphing into some form of head cold. I did vacuum the house today, so that could have kicked pollen back into the air. I should know more by tomorrow morning. I moved Brandi further away from the back door but she is still very happily attempting to reproduce out there.
I always have big ambitions for the weekends, then fall short. Today I at least managed the vacuuming, got the grocery shopping done, cooked up a big pot of beans, roasted some tofu and asparagus, made a new batch of muesli and pancakes, and did a whole bunch of dishwashing.
No progress on the oar painting, however. I'm back at the stage where I need to do a bunch of sanding again on the next sets of oars, but I can't bring myself to put on a sanding mask while dealing with a drippy nose.
So it goes.

Date: 2026-03-30 08:50 pm (UTC)I have a big pile of old blades, but I'm not going to work on them until the useable oar repainting gets finished. So, just keep rowing for a few more years.... :^)
