Bits and Pieces

We took the lights and ornaments off the Christmas tree today so that it could go out tomorrow when we're taking out the trash. I suppose we could have done it tomorrow, but then we'd be doing that *and* trying to get the rest of the trash and recycling together, which could be a bit much. It was a nice tree for a rough Christmas season.

In cat news, Sunshine has taken to coming upstairs to find me in my office during the workday to let me know that her food and/or water dish is empty. This is, I suspect, because Gretchen is in the room with the menacing doggie. She also occasionally visits us in the bedroom while we're watching TV in the late evening. So progress is being made.

Work is keeping me busy, which is, I suppose, better than the alternative. :)
