Cats and Fish


Do you think he'd like the world to just go away?
I can't say I don't have moments myself.


Gatto's doppelganger Tabs. Or is the other way around?


Our rollercoaster weather is still rolling. 50s F yesterday, 80 today. Tomorrow back to 60s. 

I was productive this past week, from cleaning, sorting and organizing the mess of the broom closet to doing the same in the bedroom. Yesterday I finished that job by steam cleaning the two large area rugs in there. I have an over-sized bedroom. The rambler type addition put on in 1973 had a living/dining room combination. After the 1984 addition put onto the east end, it was no longer needed as that. When we bought the place we closed it off from the kitchen to make it a bedroom. It's larger than it needs to be, but there it is. The middle of the house is what is left of the original. The kitchen, laundry and butlers pantry. Yes, it has a butlers pantry, large enough to put the washer and dryer in there. A very odd home indeed! A complete mess when we bought it. I loved a house that needed work. Mark just shook his head.

I think I will give my back a rest today, then carry on with sorting, winnowing, sort of, and cleaning tomorrow. 

I bought a bag of frozen mahi mahi at Costco. I saw the price and said nope. Mark, who has become me as I have become him, said if you like it, buy it. Who is this guy? I did. We had it for dinner last evening, with a lemon, butter, garlic sauce. Accompanied by couscous and my second favorite vegetable, broccoli. I think perhaps cooking and baking keeps me sane during these chaotic, frightening times. It makes the world go away for a short but valued time.
