we swear to god we have a cat

[davemerrill]

Some visitors hear us speak of a "cat", but no one has ever seen this mythical beast, because she's got a case of the shys and hides from guests. Even though guests would totally give her pettings. There's no explaining things to that cat.

Anyway, here's proof this cat exists, in one of her favorite spots, which is to hide under a blanket and sleep.



One day we'll have a cat that isn't insane. Someday.

The 3 legged cat burrows under the sheets whenever somebody stops over at the Edstead and cries sad squeaky mews to me.

Nothing has shown up recently. I'll check with Ed to see if he's noticed any packages.

You should have a box of Look & Learns showing up this week. Sadly I was not able to get any copies of the Welsh edition, which is titled "Llook & Llearn".

It was waiting for me when I got home. Man, I love these. I gotta break out the scanner and post some of the covers.

Thanks!

I do apologize for the musty smell and the possible hostile micro-organisms that may be lurking within those pages - they sat in a box in a basement somewhere for 20 years. I did what I could to kill whatever bugs may have been in there, but lord knows what the Texas environment will bring forth. I suggest giving them a good hosing with Lysol and then putting them in a sealed box for a day or so, and then exposing them to direct sunlight for a few hours.

I laid them out to air last night. Just doing that fixed 'em up pretty good.

I spread them all out on the balcony for an afternoon when we got them, and I did a thing I read about where you're supposed to seal them up in a bag with some alcohol and let the alcohol evaporate and kill everything real good, but I don't know how well that worked.

It's a real struggle for me; as a neat freak I hate having musty, funky, possibly moldy stuff in the house, but as a junkoholic I can't avoid musty, funky, possibly moldy stuff. Full of contradictions.
