My shoe is wet and it's not the rain........

I know I said no more weather talk, but, it's raining again and I can't stand it.

I also remember saying no politics, that I'm sticking to.

Wanda is currently in the kitchen making her very delicious oatmeal raisin chocolate chip cookie dough. Tomorrow she'll bake and I will leave the house. If I stay home it will be all smell and no eat. The cookies are part of the goodies for the sixth annual Nevada City gathering.

Have you ever had one of those days when nothing you put on felt comfortable? I had one of those mornings. My clothes all felt too tight or loose. Everything looked too small or large. Nothing seemed to go together. Finally I grabbed a relatively new sport shirt and put the thing on.

This morning we compiled a list and actually remembered to take it along. At the store Wanda was the cart pusher goods gatherer and I was the list checker.

Before leaving Safeway I obviously put my cap less uni-ball pen point down in my shirt pocket. When we got home I had a large ink stain on both my sport shirt and the t-shirt under it. I had what looked like a large bruise or a very bad tattoo on my chest.

A while ago I came to the realization I have half empty glasses. I vowed to try and change this negative way of thinking. Now, I told myself, the glass will be half full. Using this new, more positive way of thinking I didn't ruin two good shirts. I now have a whole bunch of dust rags. Years ago I learned not to put dirty, oily, inky, stinky clothes in the washer or dryer. Bother Allen, once again, I apologize for ruining your pants.

I am now convinced our animals can hear and understand us. The cats don't go in the computer room. When we travel that is our staging and packing room. We don't let the cats see the suitcases, ever. We have a great cat/house sitter. Barbara loves animals and spends lots of time with the cats. It's not like we leave them alone with an auto feeder and nothing to do. Yesterday, one of the cats peed on a shoe.

They don't need to wait in line for a toilet. They don't need a key. They have a cat door into the garage and four (cleaned twice a day) litter boxes. I can't remember the last time anyone had "an accident" in the house. 

Anthropomorphism is the term used to refer to any attribution of human characteristics to non human animals or other non living things. I am anthropomorphizing when I say, " the cat peed on my shoe because we are going away." They must have heard us talking about Nevada City.

This morning I found a note that read, "if u dont got shoez u kant go away, anthropomorphous that smart guy."
