my friend beverly wrote to me and told me that chester looks like her cat, which is a tuxedo cat, with a white stomach and white paws.  she described how a tuxedo cat has mixed-colored paws, so i quickly had to hunt down chester and look at the bottoms of his paws.  he was NOT crazy about this, but i was delighted to see that the pads are both black and pink!

he didn’t seem to care one way or the other.  right now he’s leaning way down into the sink, because of course the water standing there in whatever kind of bowl must be much, much better than the boring kitty bowl water.

i need to take some more pictures of him.

i need to also GET RIGHT TO WORK on halloween party stuff, but i’m kinda dragging my feet, and it’s coming RIGHT UP.

sudoku is partly to blame.  beverly also told me about some sudoku where there are 16 squares and you use numbers AND LETTERS.  this is much too much for my brain to even contemplate right now.

yesterday i tried an online sudoku in the morning and it’s like my brain was COMPLETELY DEAD.  i finally gave up.  i tried again in the afternoon with a different puzzle, and it wasn’t so bad, but i was still kind of struggling.  then, last night, i tried a harder one and it was like WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM EARLIER IN THE DAY?  my brain was all fired up and raring to go…

so why am i wasting all the good brain energy on SUDOKU, when i could be doing something just a touch more meaningful?

addict.

that’s all for friday morning, and seriously, i can’t believe it’s FRIDAY already,
