More randomness:
* There was a cow grazing alongside the road this morning on the way to work. You would think that, having lived the vast majority of my life out in the country, I'd know who to call about a stray cow, but it turns out I really don't. I ended up reporting Bossie to the local animal shelter's answering machine. I figure at least they'll know who's in charge of wandering cows. Here's hoping she doesn't become road hamburger.
* While I'm on the subject of animals, I had another threatening spider dream last night, and what's that all about? I certainly hope it has nothing to do with actual spiders crawling on me in my sleep. This one wasn't abnormally huge, but it wasn't exactly tiny, either. But it was vanquished in my dream by Mitzi the Mighty Wonder Chihuahua, every bit as unaware of her teeny-tininess in my dream as she was in life as she squished said spider beneath her dime sized paw. Chihuahuas and their fearlessness and delusions of grandeur. Gotta love 'em.
* I miss Mitzi. *sniff*
* One more animal story: I finally kicked Niblet out of my room last night, mostly. Since Sasha moved in and pretty much established herself as Top Bitch Kitty, I've been letting Niblet take refuge in my bedroom from constantly getting her ass handed to her. But she's finally started asserting herself and her territorial claims and has shown Sasha that she can give as good as she gets. Since then they've mostly been managing to tolerate each other. So, in the interest of getting a good night's sleep for once, I moved her food and potty-box out of my room and shut her out for the night. It went well until about 5 AM when the screech of a cat fight woke me up, so I let her back in and eventually managed to go back to sleep for a few minutes beneath all of her prodding and pouncing. I miss Vanilla, man. She was a good kitty. She would go to bed with me and hold still and sleep through the night. Not like Niblet and her ADHD and her belief that I exist solely to amuse her. At any rate, I'm calling it progress, and despite the interruption that was the best night's sleep I've had all week.
* I finally finished Tess's bridesmaid shawl the other night, fringe and all. And I finished L'il Sis's coordinating poncho last week. Pictures are forthcoming. Go team me!
* Since my eldest nephew is a Batman fan and we spent many hours bonding over the Batman universe when he was an impressionable young pup, I loaned him my deluxe edition of The Complete Frank Miller Batman to help him through his bedrest after he got stabbed last summer (and no, in case you were wondering, they never caught that guy). Naturally, I haven't seen it since. I thought about just letting him have it and seeing if I could get a second-hand copy to replace it, but when I checked it out just now I saw that old copies are going for much, much more money than what I paid for it originally. So, yeah. I definitely need to get ahold of him and get my book back.
