What I Learned This Week

This week I learned:

1. That the sight of blood and other icky stuff doesn’t gross me out nearly as much as it did in the past.
2. That a cat who is smart enough to almost instantly learn a new place she isn’t supposed to sit at in order to get attention is dumb enough to chew on a leaf dangerous to cats. Fortunately, the only harm done was losing her dinner.
3. That once again, you don’t pick your house projects, they pick you. This time it was installing a railing for the steps in the garage. Yeah, something the builder should have done.
4. That when my father-in-law says, “we’ll work on this tomorrow”, he really means, “in an hour I’m going to decide to work on it anyway”.
5. That the best way to fix a gas trimmer which won’t start is to show somebody what’s wrong with it.

With any luck, in a few days I’ll get back to my semi-regularly scheduled deep thoughts.
