I Blame Tulip

Wherever I go, Tulip follows, often beating me to my intended destination. She likes to walk under my feet, but hadn't tripped me up (yet). Until this weekend.

As I was entering my bedroom just the other day, I was TRYING to shut the door quickly.

Why? Because once Tulip's IN my room, she's hard to convince her to leave.

Anyway...

Tulip bolted under my feet and disappeared under the bed. Maybe that's an assumption on my part, not a fact.

Why did I say that, you might ask?

In just nanoseconds, while holding onto my bureau, I fell on my backside. My butt and back landed so hard on the carpeted floor, I am sure to have at least one colorful bruise. I pulled down my CPAP cleaning machine (which was ON). It took a few minutes for me to assess my body and get upright. 

How can I not blame my furry roommate? She looks so innocent!

Still, I love her.

Inventory Saturday Plans

I had hoped to take a count of how many of my books are in the house, my car, and elsewhere. Last night I counted what's in the house. I didn't check my car because I'm still wearing my lavender cat nightshirt and it's almost 7 PM. (This means I did not check for mail either.)

I have to look at my Liberty spreadsheet because I left multiple copies of my first book (Liberty's Scrapbook) in two Four Oak stores years ago. Neither proprietor has contacted me. I may as well go back and retrieve them. But not today (the nightgown thing).

Now, stop it, girl!

I've been in the office for several hours, working to complete my AARP Safe Driver Test. Handing in the Certificate of Completion will (hopefully) make a difference on my car insurance bill. The test I took years ago has expired. Testers are warned that ihe online course takes four hours to complete. 

My butt sure feels like I've put in the time, but I'm only 60% done. 

Anyway . . . just in case I might doze off . . .

Tulip jumped up on the same rolling table - with intention - and crashed it to the floor two more times!

She also tried to dump my cup of pencils, but I caught it in time.

Jeepers, that girl!!!

Two paper shredders

Always eager to be near me, Tulip jumped off the mobile tray table in the office to join me in the bathroom. The table fell over with a loud CRASH, scaring my cat away. 

The black towel shown below had been on top of miscellaneous paperwork. That's my usual go-to to prevent Tulip from eating papers. 

I already have an electric shredder under #1. Guess you could say that Tulip is my alternate shredder (#2).

It took a few minutes before Tulip relaxed enough to return to the scene of the incident.

Little Missy is Up to Mischief

I tried to be patient with Tulip, but she has these tendencies...

• to park her butt on the printer beside me

• to investigate papers I've laid around (fresh off the printer - yum!)
• to crinkle them, or possibly taste test them

• to upend my Crowley pencil holder, raining most of its contents behind the file cabinet
• No, I am not going to retrieve the bunch that fell to the floor. Not today.
