1. I have weird cats. Last week we finally finished the shower repair and started started taking showers in our bathroom. This means that Emerson freaks out while we take showers again, which is adorable but I don't like making him worried. He sits on the edge of the bathtub and sticks his head into the shower so he can make sure you aren't dying. If he can't see you he just meows the entire time you are showering. Also, I think he tried to carry a bookend into the bedroom last night.

2. Zach got a job and starts next week. This makes me happy because it is a job that he wanted. He will be working at the U of MN doing some sort of lab thingy. He needs to write a post about it so I can link to it. (hint hint!).

3. We decided that this weekend we wouldn't go out of town but would knock off a couple items from our project list. We are going to replace a fan in our bedroom, finish the woodwork and the desk in my office, and attempt the crown molding in the bathroom. I am going to go through my closet and get rid of all the clothes I don't like anymore and maybe set up another clothing swap. I was thinking the first part of October for a day to have it.

4. My dad is doing much better. He had a throat infection that is making it hard for him to eat but that is what the feeding tube was put in for. Now he is all set up for using that and he is feeling much better. However, he is skinner than I have ever seen him and it is weird to look at him. I wish he could eat because I want to feed him.

5. I am all signed up for a quilting class in a couple weeks at the quilting store just a few blocks from my house. I am pretty excited for this because it takes you through every step of quilt making. Of course, since this is my first quilt, I am pretty sure this will be a quilt for the cats.

Was pondering the other day how the only time I have that is really cat free is in the shower.
Then I started missing my Sebastian kitty from years ago who used to yell at me in the bathtub. :)
You're lucky to have Emerson, makes me smile.

My heart goes out to you and your family while your dad is fighting this awful thing. <3

Susan's taking to hanging out in the bathtub; like, I'll stumble in there half-asleep to take a shower and it's like OH HAI.

Glad your dad's doing better! That's never easy.

Harriet does that too! Plus she just sits in there and meows. I think she likes the acoustics.

So does Louie.

I would be all in favor of a clothing swap. I need a reason to go through the wardrobe and purge.

My dog sticks his head into the shower to make sure I'm still in there. He only does it on weekends though. During the week he can't be bothered waking up to care where I am.

Weird cats are the best cats, aren't they?

Congrats to Zach!

I'm glad your dad is doing better.
