I feel like I have no cats. Chaucer has abandoned me. He came into the bedroom last night when I was getting ready for bed. He ate some kibble and then went back into to rest of the house. He sleeps on my bed during the day, and abandons me at night. Sometimes he sleeps in the living room, sometimes their bed. Brian says that if he’s not out of bed “early” enough, Chaucer will jump up and headbutt him.
The northeast is getting positively railed by a snowstorm today. There’s blizzard warnings, and Jim Cantore is in town. You know shit’s about to get real when Cantore pays you a visit.
As much as I complain about the fact that I’m here, when I’d much rather be in the north, this is one of those times when I look out the window at the Florida around me and think I’m ok with this- for now. I’m trying hard to not think about the logistics of the “for now” aspect. I end up pissed off and depressed. I’m already in that frame of mind this week, I don’t need more of it.
We went out for Chinese last night. I wasn’t very impressed. There are two buffets in town, and we went to the better one. Unfortunately, it wasn’t great. I’d say it barely qualified as “meh”. Both of them have a sushi bar, which is great; I can fill up on California roll. However, each has maybe four of the typical Chinese/American dishes, at the most. The rest is stuff like pizza, fried chicken, ocra, crawdads. There’s also a salad bar I’ve never seen anyone use.
Since today is Saturday, it’s probably a food shopping day. I have a very small list of things I need to buy, mostly some personal maintenance stuff, but I still need to buy some bubble wrap. I have to mail out some paintings next week. The weather is still a bit too cool and windy for my usual outdoor activities.
Maybe next week I can play.
