So yesterday Baldrick spent pretty much the entire day under my bed, but at one point he got up and used the kitty box.

I was as thrilled as a new parent exalting over their baby's diaper! I mean, Balders is none too detail-oriented regarding the cat box at the best of times, so I was not expecting him to come all the way downstairs in an unfamiliar house and use an unfamiliar cat box filled with unfamiliar litter and it's all so upsetting!

I have definitely turned into a crazy old cat lady. I might as well stop washing or brushing my hair and shuffle around the house all day in carpet slippers. Too late!

Mom and I went on a shopping spree to Trader Joe's and Vons, since the strike is finally over and we actually could go to Vons at last.

Vons was pretty sad in the fruit and fresh vegetables department, but there was a decent amount of frozen and canned food. I wish that I could find my favourite chicken cordon bleu in this town, I don't know how I could possibly live in a city so uncivilized so as not to have frozen chicken cordon bleu in the red box readily available!

We went to Trader Joe's mostly to get aspirin and that delicious vanilla ice cream that they have, but we ended up going hog wild and getting like five different kinds of cookies and what is probably the most fattening trail mix ever invented--cashews, almonds and dried cranberries. Frankly, I might as well just eat a big handful of oreo stuff, lard and sugar.

I took a bath yesterday with some of the entire suitcase full of bath products that I brought with me, including some rather old Lush products that I must have gotten in Glasgow or Toronto.

I had a handful of bath melts that had melted together over the years, making kind of a bath lump, with a big sign saying that the lump was best before 4/1/01. Well let me tell you, it was still pretty damn good on 3/02/04. I love taking baths. I am never going to live in an apartment again without a decent-sized tub.

Today's horoscope:
Set your anger aside to keep it out of the mix. Perceptive individuals always know when something is wrong. If you're lucky, you'll get more offers of help than requests to be excused.

One year ago today:
Now I don't have to worry about a thaw everywhere but in the ground in my backyard. And whenever I open the freezer, I say "Hi, honey!" It's a tiny bit Mrs. Bates in the basement, but not too much.
