There’s just naked people runnin’ around all over the damn place! Cool! I would post my list but I’m afraid that all is a haze until that second cup of coffee. I’m pretty sure I get out of bed and let the dog out, but anything else is just informed speculation on my part.
I would like to ask this though:
Does anyone else have a cat that insists on standing (sitting) right on the spot where she (he) KNOWS you’re going to put your foot as you get out of bed? I have, no lie, nearly knocked myself unconscious twice in the last few weeks trying to avoid the durn thing (I mean, darling creature). She didn’t used to do this…
