It's like an instinct....

I swear my cats have an instinct to get into stuff when it's clear that I'm busy. My younger one only ever gets in my way when I'm trying to clean or study. She's not a lap cat, but if I have a textbook in my lap, she suddenly wants to sit on it.

Earlier, I had to pull some boxes out of the closet to look at something, and they gravitated to me like magnets. I was all right with them exploring the closet, but then my older cat started scratching my guitar case. When I called out to him to stop, he gave me this nasty look and an annoyed meow. Like he thought I had nerve to tell him to stop scratching.

Cats....

I know we need rain, but still....

I got so cold and wet today waiting in the rain for the bus to come. Even the combined forces of my hooded coat and umbrella couldn't save me. I should have worn my truly water-proof raincoat, but oh well.

Worse, even though I tried to make sure my backpack was zipped up and my umbrella covered it, some water still got inside and got one of my books pretty wet. I'm hoping it'll try out okay. I might try to put the fan on it.
