A Bit of Nothing...

At work. Today is a data entry day. The nigh-homicidal urges from yesterday have faded somewhat, though I am still in a state of physical discomfort from unknown causes, which does not really put me in a happy place. OTOH, Wonderful Husband and I have been getting to bed on time this week, and have re-equipped the bedroom with the spray bottle to deter the kittycat from meowing and scratching at the door at 5:30am. Consequently I woke up with a modicum of energy today and tacked pots and pans and the various things which get washed by hand rather than the dishwasher. I've even (optomistically) scribbled out a to-do list to accomplish after I'm done here for the day.

Yesterday I worked on transcribing/translating episode four of UM. I got about thirteen minutes in (out of just under twenty-four), with about half of it translated, before my ears and brain just couldn't take any more. Not too bad for one day's work. Don't know if I'll get any more done tonight, or if I'll start in on it again tomorrow morning. There's a lot on that to-do list.... I also read Wonderful Husband's first volume of translated Hayate the Combat Butler while waiting for him to come to bed. I finished the book before switching over to translating Kamen Rider Kuuga text doujinshi. It... is not my particular taste, shall we say. But this brings the bedside book stack down by one.

What IS it with cats and 5:30am? I have one who does pretty much the same thing. Of course, he's the one with the food bowl issues (gets upset if he can see his reflection in the bottom of it) and that's usually what he wants.

We had one cat the squirt bottle never worked on. He would just stick his head further into the spray and wanted you to do it again. The dog we had at the time (a Great Dane), though, got so traumatized by just watching the cat get squirted that he would run and hide if we were using the hose in the backyard. (And a 175lb dog trying to hide behind a sapling is quite a sight...)

Up until the last week or so she's been bright enough to realize that nobody's gonna answer the bedroom door until 7am, so she hasn't bothered. She does get fed in the morning as soon as I get up, so it's partly that and partly her wanting company. The water bottle does work on her, though, even though it's the one I use for ironing and thus tuned to a faint mist... she's utterly unlike one of my sister's cats, who will happily lay in the sink with water running on her. ^^;; But I suppose all cats are "special" in their own unique ways....
