It's Been Friday All Week...

Unfortunately, this Friday (er... tomorrow) is *gulp*...

Let's start my woes with the weather and my washing... I hung out some washing about tea-time on Sunday, and the weather was fine for drying it. Left it out all night, and didn't have time to take it in before work on Monday morning... and it rained before I got home! So, not having anywhere in the house to hang wet clothes, and no tumble drier, I left it out. It dried Tuesday because the weather was fine - until just before I got out from my counsellor's appointment... and it rained! Left out washing, dried Wednesday... rain comes not long before 5o'clock (are you detecting a theme here?), so washing gets left out... Today was cold, but mostly dry until... do I really need to go on? Suffice to say, the bloody washing is dripping away out the back and can stay there until Hell freezes over for all I care!

Then there's the cat... who I can't stop from pissing behind the front door. I've fixed a carrier bag over the letter box, so at least my mail doesn't land in it any more. But I've had boss and flunky berating me for not "rubbing her nose in it" - so I tried that last night. Result? She was terrified of me for a while, then sulky, then eventually forgave me - and there was a puddle behind the door again tonight! Picked her up, got to within 2 feet of the door... whereupon she obviously sussed what I was going to do, and she struggled out of my grip and away behind the chair... where she stayed until I'd got it all cleaned up, eventually coming out for a cuddle once it was too late for me to punish her. Please... there must be SOME way to curb this behaviour? It's only started since I moved...

Then there's the fact that work is so quiet now that we've sold the shop... and I'm so up-to-date that I've got nothing to do most of the time. Business should pick up as the nights start to lengthen again, but that's a long way off.

Well, that's about all for me, I reckon. Off for a quick scoot about and then down to visit my brother to see "Heroes" a bit later.
