Constructivism…

So, over my weekend that’s just now drawing to a close, I built Tigg this cat tower/scratching post/dangly thing. I used a jigsaw, sandpaper, a file, staple gun and drill! *très butch* It was actually a lot of fun putting this monstrosity together. Dragging it up to the third floor actually wasn’t. See the base that looks like a chunk of moon rock? 30 lbs of concrete…

Also this weekend:

Visited with Hoover on Thursday night and helped talk him down from an unemployment-induced ledge. Quite a nice time and kept me occupied since my entire family didn’t arrive home until midnight or so. On Friday I spent my morning delousing the VeeDub and then went to Clarion with mi hermana to get handy type things at Trader Ho. Then, my aunt and grandmamas arrived for a trip into the woods. We had dinner at Trail’s End (made it, even though no one in my car could navigate) and then watched Hannah dance in Fame.

Today, I worked on the biggest cat toy ever and generally relaxed with my mom while watching my dad do varied insane-seeming ‘chores.’ We watched from the pool, I might add, while Ebby paddled about on her raft.

Now I’m exhausted. Just once I’d like to return to my place with less stuff than follows me home. JUST. ONCE.
