I'm wicked tall.

Scardy Cat

I scared the hell out of Lily when I moved the bed. I didn’t realize she was under it at the time. Now she’s very affectionate. Almost as if she wants me to protect her from moving furniture in the future.

No promises, kitty.

Accidental Redecorating

The project for today is to move furniture away from windows. It is not to actually redecorate anything.

I moved the bed away from the window over to the opposite side of the room and thought to myself… hmmm.

Then Jen came in to see what I was up to and saw the bed on the opposite side of the room and thought… hmmm.

Did I just, totally by accident, redecorate the bedroom?

I think I might have. We’ll have to wait for the windows to be finished before I know for sure but… hmmm.

Last Day Before Windows

The window replacement team is coming tomorrow. Today is the last day to get the house ready for them. Can I get it all done?

You bet your sweet ass I can.

The kitchen, dining room, and living room are all set. The entire exterior of the house is all set too. Today I’ll handle the bathroom, the bedroom, and Jen’s office. Beyond that, all I need to do is go to the pet store and pick up a huge bag of cat food, and maybe go somewhere to replace Jen’s coffee maker. Before I do anything I’ll need to finish breakfast (one serving of Brown and Serve frozen sausages. Yummy. Also, I need to finish watching the final episode of Star Wars Rebels. 19 minutes to go. I am a little embarrassed by how quickly I burned through this four season rewatch. Like… it’s alarming how nerdy I am.

One small change to the music project plan that I hope to work on over the next couple of days. I was going to use my Keeley Super Phat Mod overdrive pedal (which is a clone of a modified Boss Blues Driver) but I was just looking at the little pile of gear next to my desk and I saw my Ibanez Tube Screamer Mini pedal sitting there and I decided to use that puppy instead. I think I am going to use the Gibson SG for all of this too. SG->Tube Screamer->Vox MV50. That’s a signal chain that’s made up of all things that aren’t usual go to’s. Next month will be Les Paul->King of Tone->Deluxe Reverb and that signal chain could be worthy of gigs. We’ll see.

Right. The Rebels finale has reached the Deus Ex Machina moment. I know I’ve watched this before but I have zero memory of it. Weird. It’s almost time to get to work. The bedroom and the office are going to suck, but I’ll get it done.

Windows tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to all of this being finished.

Don’t Stick Your Tongue Out at Me

There was about a 10 minute stretch today when Robin had her tongue out while trying to go to sleep. It lasted so long that I was afraid there was something wrong. She sat up, yawned, and put her tongue away. She was purring the whole time. I guess there wasn’t anything wrong then.

Back Yard Fun

Bird house number one is hanging in the front of the house. No tenants yet. Bird house number two was hung on a baby pine tree this morning.

Bird house number three was hung on the tree right outside the bedroom door, which is also the first tree in the yard to start coming alive. Green!

Finally, for now at least, the bird feeders are full. It’s Spring, babie! Enjoy!

Milk Run

I went grocery shopping last night but forgot to get milk. I had to make a run this morning. Downtown photos were taken.

The plan for today is to do as much prep for the window project as possible. Inside and outside. Anything that doesn’t get completed today gets completed tomorrow. The house will be ready. It’s also my dad’s birthday. I want to pay him a visit at some point.

In closing… cat in the bath tub? What the??
