Wednesday?

Very good.  I thought I was already Thursday, and have things to do, things to arrange, and else.  Terrifying, really.  But, so very good to realize.  Though that isn't a reason to relax, it's a reason to shove forward, do, if possible, as possible.

Went to get in the shower today.  A snake!  In my bathroom.  Just a smaller one.  First time I have ever seen a snake in my house, or around it.  Crazy.  Killed it, with a mallet.  Not a boot, as someone seems to... think?  :)  You know who you are.  No, I hadn't see the vid, post, until after.  I feel immortal?  Not in an earthly way, but I know we are.  Even those who choose damnation.

Anyway.  Best feed Sassy.  I did clear her litter box.  Been doing really well with that.  Food and water have been kept up well, if I am pretty good with those, these days.  It's just that litter boxes fall behind from time to time.  Not lately.  She's a sleepy girl, lately.  And has little cat snores too.  I worry.  She is getting older.  At seven to eight years, she is, say, in her mid forties to fifties.  So, everything makes sense, we slow in middle age.  It's just difficult to see happen so fast.  Those who share their lives with dogs see this as an even more accelerated rate.

Watching it, in dogs, cats, or people, is a bit... wrong.  I feel that this is... a... corruption, that wasn't meant to happen?  Or such.  Death, age, illness are... wrong.  They weren't intended for us.  For animals?  Maybe.  But not for us.  Though, who can be absolutely sure how all things were, were intended, will be.  We will find out, either way.  Speculation won't get us anywhere.

The meatballs were good, the first shot.  But don't boil, or warm, well, a second time.  By the third time they just are terrible.  I think the only way to fix that is to only make enough to eat, right when it is being eaten.  Steaming seems okay, that way, but boiling not so much.  Still, the veggies and au jus made a good enough final meal.  With butter.  Oh, and sour cream just didn't add anything, butter did.

I had a succotash, of a sort, is it?  Corn, sweet peas, and green beans, along with the burger.  I think I have a tuna steak thawed, but would like to fry that, then put it on a salad.  Loverly stuff.  Tuna steaks have a peculiar taste, it's a bit of an acquired taste, as a steak.  It has a twist of... something, almost bitter, deep down in, or as an after, or nearly last, taste.  Worth it, but... just a note.

Into the shower, teeth scrubbed after.  Electrolytes with my water, this "morning".  A bit of internet looking, to see if anything is happening of interest or real import.  Some gaming in a short bit, some things set up and readied for tomorrow.  Clearing the suv for a more serious cleaning... things like that.  A bit of gaming to get things going.

Showers are absolutely lovely things.  Especially when not unnerved by a snake.  I used to not fear snakes.  But in the home, when in pj's, and as much as those little things squirm and shimmy?  At least I didn't squeal like a girl.  I sure jumped, and danced like one.  :)  Mallet, my friends.  It... works.  I thought to grab it, and take it out, but there was no way I was going to be able to get it.  Nor could I be sure it would stay out.  Now it will.

Later.
