Happy New Year

Although I haven't written about certain events as they happened, it should surprise no one that my sweet Tulip has gotten into more trouble.

  • While in my bedroom for a few minutes, she played with my styrofoam wig stand. Bits and pieces were taken out by the chunk. 
    • I don't think she was into the hairpiece itself.

  • In the office, Tulip started to chew on the cloth-covered boxes that hold my books. Also loose papers, blank envelope boxes, et cetera.
    • If doing this doesn't get my attention, suspicious noises often start emanating from the other end of the house.
      • In other words, FEED ME NOW!

  • Regarding the cloth bins in the living room, I'm pretty sure Tulip will conquer them all someday.
    • Therefore, I placed an order with Temu for six lidded plastic boxes.
    • Also ordered a collapsible hand truck which I'll use to cart materials back and forth to the Benson Center for Active Aging beginning in February.
      • All items are slated to arrive in the next week or so.

  • Lest I forget, Tulip is fascinated by the venetian blinds in the living room. I try to close them once it gets dark outside, but nothing can keep her away. 
    • I've tried yelling, but that doesn't faze her.
    • Shooting streams of water her way is an iffy proposition (have to watch out for electrical outlets.
    • While I could do without the blinds, I don't want to be on display.
      • If you want to offer your suggestions, please do (so long as you don't recommend re-homing her).

Oh - the picture below shows where the home phone is located now. Up a wall (which is where my cat drives me). This messes up the symmetrical placement of two sconces. Don't know if I should move them to another room or donate them to a thrift store.
