As long as he brings Cretaceous sized Cadbury eggs…..

I’m fine with it.

Pandemic humor.
.
Still here. Still laughing… even when it’s not so funny anymore.
.
.
Seriously, you’ve had a year to figure it out. WTH?
.
.
Call me crazy, but I still think that’s a good thing.
.
.
Yes, hang on to your Charmin…. toilet paper shortages could be just around the corner again.
.
.
I think I still have 45 rolls from the first Oh no, I’ll never be able to wipe my butt again! apocalypse…. so I’m good. The rest of you? Good luck.
.
.
It looks like home schooling is winding down now with kids going back to the classroom…. but something tells me mommy’s sippy cup might still have a bit of the grape left in it.
.
.
True that.
.
Why didn’t I know this?
.
Melatonin, a common sleep aid.
.
.
I admit to trying it years ago when my insomnia was full blown, but I didn’t have any noticeable results and promptly forgot about it.
.
.
So imagine my surprise when I saw this ad for scented sheets..
.
.
Surreal giant crab nightmares?
.
.
Damn.
.
.
I always miss out on all the good stuff.
.
.
So, Skoon.

( Yes, I’m really going to blog about cat litter. Dudley is a new family member and the boring minutia of his daily life must be shared, just like mine. Enjoy! )
The weird cat litter came in the mail today.
.
.
And it must be seriously odd, because look at the expression on that cat’s face.
First impression?
.
.
The pieces are large, tis true… but their claim of being dust free is an unadulterated lie. A veritable lung clogging cloud rose from filling the box which you can see by how much stuck to the sides.
.
.
The very high sides of yet another box I purchased in the ongoing how do I stop the litter flinging saga. This is number 5…. but who’s counting?
As for Dudley –
.
.
He wasn’t impressed. After walking around it a few times…
.
.
He put two feet in…
.
.
Then turned around and said, WTH mom? You can’t blame him, the poor guy has had a new toilet every week since he moved in. But I’m a determined soul, and will figure out a solution if it kills me. Me, and my wallet.

Random
.
Remember when I posted about giving the husband some Red Sox memorabilia for his birthday?
.
.
Here’s Lord Dudley Mountcatten sitting above the mint condition 1968 pennant. It arrived in a long padded box, wrapped in layers of wax paper, tissue paper and bubble wrap. It was cherry! Until Dudley pounced on it, ripping it in two places and punching a giant tooth hole in the tip. Sigh.
.
.
Here he is eyeing the kinetic sculpture when my husband gave it an inaugural twirl.
Needless to say I put that out of reach shortly after.
.
.
Cats, I love them… but it doesn’t mean they don’t drive me crazy.
.
.
I got this announcement from WordPress the other day. And while I’m flattered they’re keeping track of my posts, I had to wonder at the random number. Is 1337 something to celebrate?
.
.
I ordered this customized coffee mug for a friend and can’t wait to give it to her. ( our names are underneath the chairs but have been removed to protect the not so innocent ) That’s me on the left with the margarita and the figure I haven’t seen for 20 or so years. Hair, drinks, skin tone and shirt are customizable but they didn’t have an overweight and menopausal option, go figure.
.
.
But I admit, it does describe our relationship perfectly.
.
In other news…. I’m scheduled to receive my first Covid vaccine this morning. Maine has done a remarkable job with the roll out and I’m looking forward to being on the road to fully protected as well as doing my part to stop the spread of this horrible life altering virus.
.
You show me yours, I’ll show you mine.
.
Now, now… don’t get excited. I live in Maine, I’m talking lobster.
.
.
There was a state wide contest and even our local pub co owner joined in.
.
.
Ooh… a blue!
.
.
If you’ve never done it, or even thought about it? Trust me, lobstering is hard work.
.
.
You battle the weather, the equipment and the ocean. Fisherman die or are lost at sea every year. I’ve personally known two.
.
.
And yes..
.
.
Lobsters really are this small in the beginning.
.
.
Cuddly? Not so much.
But damn, they sure are tasty.
.
The April squirrel.
.
In the continuing saga that is my kitchen calendar ( Bless you my loyal readers, the content here at River’s World is sometimes less than thought provoking ) we have now arrived at April.
.
.
The rodent featured this month seems to be knee deep in a pagan celebration of spring. But seeing that we live in Maine, where May can bring snow …. our resident red bitch from Hell is probably not celebrating in kind.
No, more than likely she’s gathering up dead grasses and leaves in anticipation of building a nest for her future demon offspring in our one of our eaves.
.
.
The battle continues.
.
Dudley – 4. River – 0.
.
Remember the extra high sided cat box I ordered for Dudley to stop him from scattering litter on the floor?
.
.
Yeah.
.
.
I had two full days of no mess before he showed me exactly what he thought of that. So the battle continues…
.
.
And I’ve been assured this new product I ordered will solve the problem.
.
.
Well, that cat certainly looks happy.
.
.
And heck, if Dudley will start scooping his own poop? It’s money well spent.
.
.
Although the featured feline family is looking a tad too Stepford Wives for my peace of mind. Stay tuned….
* gulp *
.
It’s about time.
.
It took me decades, but I’ve finally found an appropriate use for tofu.
.
.
And yes, this is actually a thing. Your cat can now do what you’ve always wanted to when presented with curdled soybeans. Look how proud this cat is to piss on it!
.
.
Of course this feline doesn’t look very pleased.
.
.
But personally, if I could poop on the revolting stuff? I’d be a very happy camper.
.
Who knew?
.
Did anyone know the Keurig coffee company will now mix you a cocktail?
.
.
Yes, there is an alcoholic pod machine.
.
.
And while in theory it seems like a good idea ..
.
.
For $300 I think I’ll continue to mix my own.
.
.
The machine requires a CO2 canister for carbonation.
.
.
And they don’t exactly give away the pods either.
.
.
Maybe someday when I’m old and grey (okay, older and greyer) I’ll need mechanic cocktail help, but I’m not there yet.
