Cat poop

Some decade or so ago, when we were first planning for our new home, we started cleaning a decade's worth of "lived in" from our existing home.

During this process, we vowed "no more smoking in the house" and "No more CATS!"

So we gave away our cats, and smoked outside or in the garage, but...  Before too long Carol brought home a kitten. And then a couple years later, the neighborhood stray had a litter in the neighbor lady's window well, and one of those ended up living here too. Now don't get me wrong, I like my cats, they are very sweet, but...  Between the 2 of them we're talking near 50 pounds of feline!!!
They shed like crazy, and they fight over who gets to sleep between Carol and I at night.

But that's not the worst. These 2 critters are so fat that they cannot properly clean themselves. Now the litter box is bad enough (Here, animal, you poop here, 30 feet from MY BED, and we will store it for a week at a time, 30 feet from my bed, and our laundry room will always smell like POOP!!!) but since they can't reach behind thier fat asses and keep thier posteriors clean, THEY TEND TO DROP "CLING-ONS"!!!
And they drop them in my bedroom and sitting room. Sometimes even on my bed!

They call me the floor nazi. I hate dirty floors. Tracked in dirt, spills, leftover food, candy wrappers, it all makes me nuts. Carpet grosses me out. The nasty stuff is down in there, you can't see it and you cannot remove it. You can play at it, yes, it fills the cup in the vacuum, and yes, the waste water in the carpet cleaning machine looks really nasty, but you can't ever get it all out. The pet hair is the worst,  no  make that second worst.

The worst is those little brown balls that go clickity clack in the vacuum cleaner. THERE SHOULD NEVER BE LITTLE BROWN BALLS ON MY BEDROOM FLOOR!!!

Ok, I feel better now. Back to work. Finishing the woodwork in the guestroom today. Getting going on the stairs. Cleaning around the pool for the winter. Draining, cleaning and refilling the hot tub. Installing the new "blend door actuator" in Dann's car and putting the dash back together. Removing the drivers door inner panel on the vette, tightening the loose outside mirror and putting that back together... dayum, I'm exhausted just typing all this, and I'm sure I forgot a few things.

Oh well, Carol left a lil bit ago to get her hair done and then do a photshoot, she'll be gone most of the day. Brian's at a scout campout. Dann as usual is in his room with the door closed playing world  of warcraft... So it's just me, but I've got a full 12 pack of corona, a bunch of limes, and a complete fresh b atch of margarita fixins. So I'll just get a good buzz on and work.
