Weekend randomocity
Some big changes coming here at La Casa Mayhem starting this coming week. Jeff has a new new job, at a new place, with his old boss (which he likes a lot) at a spanking new huge facility with state-of-the-art everything and the chance to build his staff from scratch in his own way. It's a chef's woodie-inducing dream, though it will be a bit hectic and sometimes frustrating at the start, I'm sure. There's more money in it for him and no manager-on-duty nonsense every several weeks, plus no weekends. So, a major w00t for him. I just hope the stress of getting the place up to speed does not impact his cardiac recovery.
Did some tuning up of my f-list, removing mostly people who obviously disapproved of my friending them in the first place, and a couple others. Nature abhors a vacuum, Mayhem abhors douchery.
Angry Birds for Android was a nice addicting distraction while it lasted. I'm through all the levels and want more. Any suggestions? The Scruff app is, well, interesting.
The weather bureaus are making noises towards there being another SNOMG Event early next week. I hope I don't have to be moving snow in the middle of the night again. I just got the deck cleared off yesterday, the front walk is still unusable due to low and fallen branches. Using the small electric snowblower to clear the deck, it picked up a small bungee cord hidden in the snow and it got wrapped around the shaft. It was too tangled to unthread, so I got a retractable knife to cut it out in pieces. Despite my being careful, I slipped and cut my one finger down to the bone. I left a trail of blood in my path from the snow thrower to the bathroom, where I performed first aid. The cut was so clean that continuous pressure for a half hour plus a tightly applied bandage not only stopped the bleeding, but the cut is imperceptible and looks almost healed up. It does not even hurt. Go me, I guess I can still heal kinda fast despite my old age. Now, for that spinal cord thing...
The house is playing host to one of the other stray cats. Kodi made sure the poor thing spent most of the day huddled beneath a covered end table. Once Kodi hit the hay with Jeff, this one (alternately named Tigger or Tommy) popped out and enjoyed some petting time and exploring. While in the bathroom where the litter box is also kept, T/T wandered in, found his way through the anti-Kodi barricade to the litter box, and had a go. It's as if he's been doing it all this time. Either Pinky is coaching him (Pinky is the reason why we have a half dozen "visitors" these days) or cats have some sort of sixth sense when it comes to taking a shit.
To paraphrase Sheriff Brody in Jaws, we're gonna need a bigger litter box.

Ouch!!!
The story with the cats is cute.
If it snows more than an inch or two next Tuesday, I'm gonna be in trouble.
I have nowhere to put the snow.
I have it piled 5 feet high on my driveway.
I cleared my mom's driveway so she can take her
car out - I don't own a motorcar, myself.
I'll have to get up by 7:30am. Tuesday morning, and be out the door before 7:45 am.
The creeps who pile the snow on my mom's driveway usually get here by 8:00am.
I think it might be harder for them to do that
if I'm right there with my digital camera from the start.
Re: Ouch!!!
i remember when I got my cats, they knew how to use the litterbox from the get-go.
And when I moved, I showed them where the litter box was, and they had no problems using it.

If not a bigger box, just more frequent cleanings.

So good to hear Jeff got a new and hopefully better job so that's good news.
Do be careful with knives, we don't want you cut up y' know. :-)
