I made almost a perfect score on a math placement test today. Total dumb luck. Actual gasps did follow...
I thanked my teacher after giving him the grade. The man had a true gift for patience that made all the explanations look very easy.
I thanked him for the confidence I watched him build in the class. He looked at me like I finally figured out the secret handshake to understanding it all.
I realized that I am enabling a stratified society in my home.
All of the cats came in with the start of the terrible weather that has swept across Oklahoma these past few days. We already have two indoor cats with free reign of the house. A third cat of ours needs to be neutered in small part to his territorial sprayings. And then, we have two young female cats who were abandoned here by our landlord (along with a penned-up dog and a horse).
Anyway, to keep everything calm, there is essentially a cat refugee camp now in our very small laundry room. I scoop their litter out three times a day but it's not very pleasant anyhow. Meanwhile, the other two prance about and watch Masterpiece Theater & yawn while continuing to delight in their utter disdain for the cuisine.
