i haven’t written an update because there hasn’t been anything to update. no one has been working on the house.
when i looked out the window yesterday, the yard was filled fence to fence with mud. whatever it is they’re building that i was afraid would obstruct my view of The Drug Dealer’s parents’ yard remains unfinished. it looks like it might be the frame for back porches for the different floors. on the bottom deck is a set of rolled up blueprints, exposed to the rain.
i figured they were finished working on it for the winter. then i ran into Pete the Mailman this afternoon, who said that the owner has had trouble keeping workers. when the renovation started, only 2 guys* worked on it. then 2 became 3.** just a couple of weeks ago there must have been 5 or 6 guys.
the owner bought the house for his son, who, it turns out, doesn’t want it because it’s ancient and falling apart. like i said before, they would have been better off demolishing the old structure and building a new one.*
i can’t wait to see how this unfolds.

Brian feeds the cats their breakfast while he gets ready for work. then he leaves right before or right after i wake up. today, however, i never heard him leave.
so imagine my surprise when i woke up to find cats walking all over me. i wondered why Brian hadn’t fed them, and thought maybe he was running late. i knew he planned to do a load of laundry early this morning, so it probably took longer than he expected.
like the dutiful caretaker that i am, i got up and fed them. i opened the fridge and saw an open can of Angelo’s Special Food for UTI Cats, which was odd. Brian opens a fresh can in the morning and feeds him half of it, then Angelo gets the rest at night. i shrugged and spooned it into a bowl.
when Brian got home from work earlier, he looked in the fridge, noticed the missing can of cat food, and asked me where it went. i was like, "duh. i fed it to Angelo this morning."
"no, you didn’t," Brian replied.
"yes, i did."
"i fed them this morning."
"oh," i remarked, "you did?"
"that’s why there should be an open can in the fridge."
at the same time it dawned on us that the cats pulled one over on me! and i totally fell for it like a sucker. hmph.

Today I want you to take a good look at your current living situation. Think about your lifestyle and anything about your life that is significant. Then list those things or situations that you didn’t like at one time, but that no longer bother you. Is there a reason why? Tell us! This is therapy people….humor me! lol
the only things that come to mind revolve around my office area, probably because that’s where i am right now. my desk used to be immaculate whenever i finished a project. everything put in its place, everything straightened, the desk surface visible.
hah. now, it’s a miracle if i can see the surface. i have so many projects going all at once that it’s hard to keep organized. also, i don’t have enough shelving on which to organize stuff.
because of this, the cats knock things off my desk all. the. time. that really used to irk me, but now….whatever.
all day today i thought i smelled poop by my desk, but i couldn’t find any. still, the scent came and went, came and went.
i checked around my desk, underneath, on my chair, my pants. then i finally checked Hopper and Basil’s butts, or i tried to anyway. Hee Seop and Angelo spent the entire day in the bedroom, so i didn’t bother checking theirs.
Brian got home about 20 minutes ago. i asked him if he detected a vague smell of poop emanating from my office, and he said yes. in addition, he smelled it early this morning while i was still asleep but couldn’t find it either.
a hunt ensued, and i found it on top of a file cabinet. fortunately, it wasn’t diarrhea. perhaps it’s time to pay a visit to the scary bad lady, just to be sure Hopper’s OK health-wise.
i’m still reading the Pam Johnson-Bennett book, Cat Vs. Cat, but she doesn’t offer suggestions for dealing with pooping out of the box (that doesn’t have to do with litter box issues), which apparently, is called "middening." the only recommendations are for how to deal with urine.
on the other hand, she suggests using diversion techniques to keep the more aggressive cats from attacking before they actually pounce. keep toys hidden around the house, she says, even keep toys in your pockets.
of course i’d do anything to have a peaceful household, but man, i don’t know if i could keep up with all of that.
Are you out there? I was going to blogroll your blog, but it’s gone.
I haven’t seen you in a while, so I thought I’d say hi–if you get this, anyway! Sorry I missed you at WindyCon–I didn’t even know about it until that week, and I’ve never been to anyCons.
If I don’t see you I hope you and R. have a great holiday!

w00t! KotOR II will be available at Target this Thursday! I know that I once mentioned that I’m not one of those go-out-and-get-it-as-soon-as-it-comes-out types, but I’ve really psyched myself up about this.
Target is giving away a free Prima guide with your purchase–lame! I only bought my KotOR Prima guide after I already finished it a few times.
Chicago is so great because there’s all kinds of stuff to do for free. this is very important to know if you’re on a limited budget and/or have gargantuan student loans with no job prospects in sight.
this week’s Chicago Living Tip features The Art Institute of Chicago. normally, the admission price for adults is $12, and that doesn’t include tickets to whatever special exhibit they have going on. however, on Tuesdays, admission is free! w00t! so even if you’re a philistine you have nothing to lose by paying a visit, except maybe, time. but if you’re unemployed, anyway…
the Art Institute is at 111 S. Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL.
NOTE: i’m pretty sure you still have to pay for tickets to special exhibitions on Tuesdays.
