sunday night
think i figured out how to re-set the timer on the outside lights. good.
yesterday was a fun day. jeremy drove to scruz and we picked up the new very sturdy cat tree. ketzl was on it directly, almost before the two halves (easier for transport) were attached. it's a bit more vertical (and taller) so he needs to learn new ways of getting up there. watched a squirrel from the middle tray. the guy was really nice, makes them by hand; semi-retired but still does them. let me know if anyone needs a really solid piece of cat furniture.
then there was the requisite walk in downtown santa cruz, a stop in Stephan's jewelers for old times sake (from whence the blue/green opal ring came), then sushi at Pink Godzilla, a visit with a friend of jeremy's from Barefoot, insiders tour of Verve coffee (next door to sushi!) and then a stop at the supply place to get two espresso and 2 cappuccino cups, a tamp, spoons. jeremy will now drink his coffee at work in real cups and one day a week will give instruction for those who want to learn how to pull a decent espresso.
on the way home jeremy updated me on his friends from UCSC and high school, the ones i know. then when we got home, he assembled the tree. now i need to take the old one apart (made of pressboard, not real wood, and cardboard tubes covered with sisal -- not the kind of material for such as ketzl). it has so many shims, supports and props...but it served pretty well for 3+ years. i guess it's my guilt coming out; ketzl is deprived of me during the day -- he might as well have a decent tree. now he does. platinum level. solid as a rock and heavy.
i am wearing tonight something that i probably will never give away: the really large purple polar fleece YAHOO! top that was given to us by Razmik in his yahoo bling days. it is warm and snuggly and huge on me. and i don't care.
the closet is interesting...one more section of my blouses but still full of sweaters and shoes of Linda's. there is comfort in that.
go badgers! go buckeyes! go bears! 3 nice football wins yesterday. (sorry stanford)
ok time to think about dinner and getting ready for the coming short week.
