Things I want to write full entries about . . .

[scarlettina]

. . . but probably won't:

Restaurant Bathrooms: Why are restaurant bathrooms invariably cold? It's the one place in a restaurant where you will remove clothing to function. It's like you're being penalized for being human. And then the water from the faucet for handwashing is also, invariably, cold. Why? In the dead of winter, WHY?

Living with a Young Cat: I spent so many years living with geriatric cats that I forgot what it's like to live with a kitty who wants to play and interact. I love being with Sophie, and I love playing with her. She is athletic, imaginative, and inventive. At the same time, every now and then I just want to sit and read or sit and work. As much as we'd all prefer it, not every minute can be playtime. There's nothing so plaintive (or occasionally so grating) as a cat who keeps asking why, why, why aren't we playing now, now, now? And yet she is hard to resist.

I had a Tough Food Week: A week ago today, my goal was to have a good food week--and I did, but not in the way I meant. I ate out a lot--some wonderful meals--had a meringue cookie binge, and didn't track my food well. Consequently, I chose not to weigh in at Weight Watchers last night. I start this week with the same goal as last week: eat on program, track my food, and be active. Next Tuesday, I weigh in, come hell or high water, and hope for the best.

A lot of times the reason that the water in restaurant restrooms is cold is because the hot water is purposefully turned off to prevent burns. A lot of restaurants keep their hot water heaters turned up hot enough (for dish washing) that it can scald if you don't also turn on the cold water. They don't want to get sued if someone gets burned so they turn off the hot water to the restrooms.

Does Sophie sit in front of your book when you're trying to read? When I lay down in bed to read Pepper lays on the bottom of my face and curls up in a kitty puddle so that I have to hold the book over the top of her to be able to read. I've decided that people with cat allergies must not be able to check out books from the library because my library books usually end up covered with cat hair.
