Ahhh, mornings. (Non-writing excuses.)

Sipping coffee while sitting at the computer, relaxing. Trying to relax. While there are -

The sounds of children arguing about their respective on-line games, shouting to each other from their bedrooms.

Two tomcats who are ready to get neutered (we have an appointment for next week) are fighting throughout the entire house. They start at one end, grapple and scratch and bite and yell, then run through the hallways and down the stairs, stop and grapple and scratch and bite and yell, then run down the stairs to the basement where I can still faintly hear them fighting.

I hear ripping and tearing noises and realize another kitty has attacked an entire roll of paper towels in the kitchen and is filling the room with paper towel confetti.

Cartoons are on TV very loudly, yet no one appears to be watching.

The fishtank needs to be cleaned, damn it, and the plecostamus is demonstrating his displeasure by breaching and splashing water out of the tank. (We don't currently have a lid - it's on my to do list.)

AND the knuckleheads (tomcats) just ran by me again, sounding like a herd of elephants.

Followed by the children, who think it's time for cartoons once again.

The kitchen has many dirty dishes in the sink. Both sinks. Enough that it may be easier to throw them all away and buy new ones.

The laundry is - well, let's just say there's a mountainoid downstairs.

Grump.

AND there go the cats again.

I think it's time to go OUTSIDE and play. Sun is up - slap on some sunscreen, toss 'em in the water.

Is it any wonder I can never get any writing done?

Share your excuses! :cathappy:
 
Actually, my excuse for not handling any of those household things (well, sort of) is that I'm writing. I'm writing roleplay shite, but writng.

And try dousing the toms noses with perfume of some type. If they can't smell the hormones, they won't be as bad.
 
There's always something that needs killing.

I suspect my housemates are deaf. At any rate, going from point A to point B requires lots of stomping.

I just couldn't be arsed.

THAT is an incredible idea, thank you.

It's time for the Advantage flea stuff anyway. So I suppose once we squirt that on 'em everyone will smell the same.

I wish...

We use Vicks and rosewater around here for stuff like that. Vicks works on really tough cases (Romeo, our stallion, for one) and usually the rosewater works on the cats. If they're really bitchy, you can Vicks them too, just dab a little right on their noses.

They are really feeling their oats this morning. They are both strays, brothers (an outside kitty gifted us) and they're big, healthy, and full of beans.

Giant 'nads. Whoa. It's time.

Luckily we have an enclosed outside place (a dog kennel attached to a basement window) where they can go and spray. They haven't been attacking the inside of our house.

Our vet is on vacation this week or they would have been snipped today. :cathappy:

Functionally disabled as a writer. My mind operates at 2,000 to 3,000 wpm and my fingers type at 40 wmp with mistakes. The good stuff is long gone by the time I'd get to it. :rolleyes:

I think they have pills to help with that nowadays.

:D

Alright. I'm coming up with several ideas. Which one in particular?


Take your pick.

Each is an equally effective slam. :D

I'm off - outside is calling again. Kids have already run by me and out the back door yet again.

Gotta love summer sunshine - and it isn't even June yet. We're eating it up.

:kiss:

And the camel you rode in on. No, wait, make that WITH the camel you rode in on. :p


:kiss: :rose:
 
FallingToFly said:
Hey now! It wasn't the camel's fault! :devil:
Now I don't want to put words in your mouth. Are you implying that that would be cruel and unusual punishment for the camel?



I know, I know. Another level of Hell. At this rate the only way to contain me is if Hell is infinitely expanding. :D :devil:

Didn't you see the South Park movie?

The amount of people in hell numbered in the billions and were growing faster than the national debt.

Heaven had about 2000, I think.

Actually, I haven't seen the South Park movie. This is my only passive activity. All other times I'm out making headlines: "Mysterious (fill in blank) Commits Outrageous (fill in blank)." That's me. :p

You haven't seen that movie?

For shame.

So many tasteless jokes, so much gross humor, so many good lines. . .

And the music!

Seriously - it has terrific music.
