A Day Off...from my o.c.d.

I didn't make my bed today.

Ok...I straightened it up before I left the room.

And it's barely even buggin me...

My light switches are not all lined up.

The shoes by the front door are not paired, but piled.

And it's barely even buggin me...

My apron is on the back of a chair, not folded in the drawer.

The pancake mix is still sitting out.

The pantry door not shut tight.

And it's barely even buggin me...

The clean dishes aren't put away,

the dirty ones not stacked or washed.

Dinner isn't planned.

Floors not swept or vacuumed.

And its barely even buggin me...

I'm taking a day off...

from my self diagnosed O.C.D. tendencies.

Doing what we want all day.

And it's barely even buggin me...

All right, truth be told,

after the playing and fun stuff is done.

Before I can go to sleep.

 It will need to be caught up.

Because really...

It has been buggin me...

The Fence

This morning the neighbor's dog woke me up at the crack of dawn-barking and slamming into the wooden fence, that my stupid cat's think is there to protect them, as they habitually antagonize the dear, chololate colored half horse...

Those two cats will lay inches away from said fence, grooming themselves, totally ingnoring the frenzied brute on the other side. While he stops now and again to put his eye close to a slot between the boards to see if he has got them on the run...This move only get's a half hearted slap of the paw in his general dirrection. As they tell him, "Ahh..gawan!".

If they are feeling particulary antagonistic they will hop up on the top of the 6 foot fence and pretend they are the rabbit for a dog race. This move sets the fence to dancing and test's their agility.

It is a strange relationship these neighbor pets have. If they haven't had theese opportunities during some part of the day,either the cats will wait for the dog or he waits for them.

I wonder...what would happen if one of those redwood boards seperating them should give way?

My guess is that the cats had better be able to run a lot better than they tease!!
