the Monday List of Happiness
1. All I have to say is "I'm gonna getcha" to Bubba, and he stops whatever he's doing, chirps, and presents his belly for rubbing. It's the cutest thing he's done since he was an adolescent kitten and suddenly got too cool to attack my ankles any more.
2. I like being able to track my progress on Chore Wars. I'm still figuring out how it works, since I've never played D&D type games before (I had to use Google to find out what XPs are), but it's fun.
3. Finally transplanted the rosemary topiary in a larger container yesterday along with some of the compost and compost tea. (The worms seem to be thriving in their bin!) The amaryllis is starting to bloom, too. Now, if I can just find a way to coax something more than a few feeble leaves from the gardenia, I shall be very happy, indeed.
4. A belated birthday present from Mermaid (best friend since preschool) arrived Thursday. It's a beautiful burgundy hat! Her mad sewing skills get better all the time.
5. I gave myself a good lecture last night and donned the writing hat. I ended up editing more than writing, and I still have stuff to slide in and a whole day to conjure, but as motivation is my Achilles heel, I'll take what squee I can get. (And I found a title. Not a very good one, but I spent four hours over the weekend looking through YouTube videos and a Beatles songbook, so when I finally listened to Gerry Rafferty's "Baker Street," I gave up and grabbed a few words from it.)
