general update

zoe's doing much better. she's been on the antibiotic for her cold since friday and has made a fantastic recovery. she can actually smell and get high off of catnip again. on sunday morning she thought it would be fun to make me wake up around 6ish to play. i'm not a happy camper around 6am for anyone, but especially a kitten who wants to play "let's bite the owner." not good times. last night she was a total freak show. she was literally trying to climb the walls and apparently practicing for the cat olympics by running the apt circuit (my bed, my chair, my sofa, the stairs, the kitchen, to return to the ottoman) in about 4 secs flat. she's amazing. it was a good thing that she did that before bed, because she managed to actually sleep last night (why do cats always managed to sleep in the middle of a queen size bed? honestly, zoe's like 5 lbs and attempts to take up the whole bed...).

i also made my first trip to a laundromat today. aside from the $20 in precious quarters it cost to do my laundry, i managed to burn my christmas blanket :-(. overall, it's okay, but it has spots where it apparently melted (this is very sad). meanwhile, the down blanket did not complete dry, so it has to hang on my shower rod. yeah, i hope to never have to do that again. ever.
