My internet is being flaky today. So is the electricity in my house. I suspect the two are related and neither are being caused by anything in our house. We’ve had it all checked. This happens every time it threatens to rain as it is today. Both Time Warner and the electric company have been informed so many times the last three years, and yet … here I sit with flaky internet and electricity that keeps blinking off and on. Color me annoyed.

All I want to do is finish downloading a few printable scrapbooking things to top off a CD I want to burn, and then the internet can be as flaky as it wants to be, because I have non-internet things to do today … like housework and a new painting and maybe some collage work. These are the things I like to do on grey and gloomy days. Well, not the housework, but that has to get done every day.

Or maybe I’ll go back to bed for a while. The kittens, overjoyed that Lin and I were both in bed sleeping at the same time and that our household has returned to its normal schedule, were on sheet sucking overload last night. It’s really hard to sleep with two kittens sucking on sheets right by your head. Cute? Yes. Loud and bothersome in the middle of the night? Hell yes. There’s no dissuading them when they get it into their heads they want to suck on something. I kept moving them to the foot of the bed or tossing them on the floor, and within seconds, there they were again … suck, suck, suck. Let’s not even talk about the “joy” of kitten-soaked sheet hems on warm human skin in the middle of a chilly night. Ugh. Are they ever going to outgrow this?!

I guess since my internet is still being flaky, I’ll try to post this and go find something else to do. I wanted to get that last CD burnt this morning so all my scrapbooking stuff would be off my computer, but it looks like that will have to wait until later.
