What's mildly irritating you today?

Hell's Chores?
Hand washing all the damn water bottles we have. There are always like 3-4 water bottles sitting on the counter next to the sink waiting to be washed. They are too big for the dishwasher. Can't get your hand in there, the lids are all awkward. I can do it, but I hate it.

It's not easy being "green".

Sylvester Q Puddytat has developed a tendency to dash out the door before I can catch him and spending an evening out on the town. Sometimes he doesn't get home until the next morning, all blurry eyed and smelling of catnip. Since he's mostly black, he's all but impossible to see at night, and I worry about possible encounters between him and a car.

So, I got him a nice bright florescent pink cat collar and put it on him. He flipped out immediately and ran and hid behind some boxes I have stored in a closet. He has been there for almost 24 hours now except for sudden mad dashes around the house and then a return to the closet. Now and then he meows loudly for 10 minutes or so. I guess he thinks he's caught in a trap or something.

I've tried to catch him to remove the offending collar, but he's too quick for me. Right now I don't know what I feel the most - guilt over unwittingly subjecting him to 24 hours of torture or annoyance over his freaky behavior.

He's gotta calm down, SOMETIME, right?
