So my weekend involves driving 170 miles to stay at my sister's house to babysit her 5mo old kitten, while I leave my own cat at home alone.
The big event of the weekend has been *finally* figuring out that the woman I date over here, and who I've been seeing off and on for like....15 years....has a drinking problem. I am *so* stupid about things like that, but the fact that we always begin by having a wonderful time together, and then somehow she turns mean and nasty as the evening progresses...it actually isn't about me at all, as she would have me believe, but rather has to do with how long she's been drinking. The whole thing has been this *total* mystery to me, as I'm nothing but kind and considerate to her, but after having the same thing happen maybe 12 times, in *exactly* the same pattern.....you'd have thought I'd have figured it out by now.
Other than that, cork-on-a-string is being a massive hit with little Alfie. Use a long string, on the end of one of those green bamboo plant stakes, and we're good to go. Stand in the middle of the stairs.....bop bop bop, up the stairs it goes, and bop bop bop, down we go again. Over and over again.
How can any one creature possibly have such energy !??
Maybe there's something in that dry cat food that us humans need to investigate ?

One of my close friends is an alcoholic, and it is a similar pattern. She never gets angry with me, but she gets angry. I've learned to identify the stages of drunk, and know when I need to get out of there - usually about the "You're such a great guy. khoos is so lucky to have you. I need someone like you in my life." which is about 5 minutes from "My {insert ex-husband or ex-boyfriend} is a lying asshole. They did this and that...". Which is usually where I try and exit.
