These cats are going to be the death of my sanity. Chaucer can’t decide if he wants to eat all Knickknack’s food, or wolf down his own food without chewing and then pukie it back up immediately. Additionally, Mal has figured out which corner of the litter box he can hang his ass over and shit outside the box, so now I need to deal with that.
We went to Walmart yesterday and did the food shopping. I found stuff to make sweet potatoes for Easter dinner. There have been battles over sweet potatoes at holiday dinners with Brian’s family (yet another entire post). I asked my mother if I would be allowed in the house with sweet potatoes that weren’t covered with marshmallows. I was only half-joking.
I bought some art supplies that I thought I could use for some current papercraft projects. Unfortunately, my first experiments with it were very unsuccessful. That’s what I get for wanting to save $6. I switched mediums and I know exactly why it failed. I’m actually pretty annoyed at myself for wasting money in an effort to save money.
I also picked up a tripod for my phone. Until now, I’ve been leaning the phone against two things in the yard. Both give me an ok angle and a lack of fire ants to dance on. Unfortunately, one of those things is a whirligig’s pole, which obviously vibrates with the slightest breeze. The tripod I bought isn’t a tiny pocket size, but it’s not like the taller and busted one I tossed out when I purged the house. Its legs are long enough to give me a little bit of height if I keep it on the ground. As a bonus, the legs are the weird tentacle kind, so I can adjust it like crazy.
I plan to rig it up as though the whole tripod is a facehugger alien, gripping the head of the angel that sits next to Mom‘s birdbath.
