Random Is as Random Does

on a grey January day

I miss my cat. I don’t want another cat. I want MY cat. Yes, she was scraggly and she sometimes stunk, but she was my girl. Ah, I know, it will just take time. I did weaken and look at Catsnap and thought to myself that none of the cats looked appealing whatsoever. Then I laughed at myself because obviously that’s not true. At least I can still laugh at myself. God forbid I ever stop.

The inimitable Hattie.

Yesterday I wrote here about my life in cats and decided to put a paywall on it. Man, I just hate doing that. I took it off. I can’t help myself. I’m a bit of a failure at telling people that my writing here is worth paying for. I’ve always liked this picture because it’s an example of how I market myself. Nice. Not the best apples, or the must have apples or the tastiest apples, but nice. Heh. I can market other stuff, myself not so much.

Look at this. I was so tickled when a friend sent this picture of Rayna Gellert and Kieran Kane at Fitzgerald’s on Sunday I wish we could have been there but it’s probably for the best that I talked myself out of it. However, it made me really happy that our friends were there.

They also did a delightful short interview on WGN Sunday morning. WELL worth listening to, and they do a couple of songs as well. Just click on the image below to listen.

The other day Ernie was doing something in the kitchen and I heard him yell, “Wouldn’t it be great to have a turntable in the kitchen.” God he amuses me. As he was making biscuits the other day he popped back into the media room to reiterate what a great idea this is.

Welp, we finally took the ornaments off our tree. We have never left them on this long, but then again, maybe I never needed them this much. The poor scraggly tree still has its lights on. Maybe one more day.

I’m trying to cheer myself up by planning a wander. We haven’t done one in seeming EONS because money’s been a tad tight but we decided to just go for it. I have two Louis Sullivan banks left to visit and they’re both in Ohio. I wish we could do both on this wander but I think we’d have to do two nights in a motel to make it work (anybody want to pay for a subscription or two? 😄) so we’re just going to see one. I’m working on my spreadsheet (honestly, I’m not obsessed with spreadsheets, but this way I can import it into a map). I’m trying to keep it limited to things I REALLY want to see so I don’t lose the wander-ness of it all. I think it will do us a world of good and any day that’s a Louis Sullivan day is a good one, right?

Side note: if I ever post IYKYK or If You Know You Know just shoot me.

When you’re sad because your beloved cat is gone but your husband finds a frozen lemon meringue pie that your BIL brought to your house one time. Thanks, Dennis.

Good God, I just spent an entire hour filling our forms for our dentist. Twenty years of cancer treatments are not good for your teeth. One more thing.

Ok, onward.

Love,
Cynthia
