bloodsong1House news: We have clusterflies. Not "Amnityville Horror" bad, but enough to keep IDK busy every evening when they come crawling up the windows. Pest control doesn't spray for clusterflies until after August 15. Another $100+, and this is AFTER the yellow jackets in the roof above our bedroom were removed for $140ish. The good news in all this is that our gutters have finally been repaired/replaced, and the shingles that had torn off of IDK's bedroom roof have been replaced too. Yay for savings accounts.
Story news: I can't seem to get past "Haru didn't go to school the following morning. While this was understandable, given the attack of the previous day, that was not the reason. Rather, it was an overzealous mother dragging her out of bed much too early to go food shopping for Baron." I've been hunting up recipies for Japanese 1 pot dishes and all I'm finding are various hot pots. Which, I suppose, could work, but I was looking for something specifically fishy and squid ink soup isn't filling enough. Although that would be funny...
Wolf news: Still unemployed. Don't know if he's doing anything about it either.
Kiddo news: IDK is going to the summer program he was in last year, which means Wolf is bussing him and The Cuteness to Grandma's most every day. Sometimes I beat them home, which is awkward as I suck at street parking. The Cuteness has a well-toddler checkup on Monday. She's becoming verbose. She now knows "Sorry" and the proper application of the word, and has mostly memorized Hand, Hand, Fingers Thumb, so she spends a little time every evening reciting, if not insisting on reading the book. I'm currently trying to teach her her address by song. You know she wants to practice when she crawls up in your lap, starts rocking back and forth and singing "MY" in a loud voice. So far we're up to "My ... is ... ..., ... is ... ..ress, twen-e si ... ave, .... new york!" Nipples are still apples, though. *shrug*
Kitty news: Still just Mist, who's still an idiot, but a lovable one. He waits until I'm just about ready to go to bed before he jumps on my lap, and then when I'm getting into bed, he wants to rassle. This is fine, I don't mind him grabbing my wrist with his front legs and kicking my arm with his back legs while I scratch his chest. It's the biting I won't stand and he ALWAYS bites eventually. Never enough to break the skin, but two nights ago he left serious tooth marks.
And in totally unrelated news, I cut my finger with the scissors opening Chezzie's package. I was surprised when it hurt and waved the bandaged finger at Wolf saying "This hurts, you know!" to which he laughed, gave me a hug and called me "poor darling" and "bruised flower", to which I declared I just wanted acknowledgement of my pain. Time for a new bandaid.
