desperanceSo today was supposed to be about working through more of these stories, largely.
Then it became about fixing the toilet, largely: Adventures in Plumbing. All to the good.
So Dave and I went off to Home Despot to buy the inner workings of a toilet cistern, leaving Karen and Katherine in the house.
...And came home to find Katherine weltered in blood and Neosporin and Band-Aids, after an Adventure with Mac in the Back Yard. It is not entirely clear what spooked him - a raccoon, perhaps? - but something did. He went all feral on her - and Mac is not a rescue cat, he's the one fobbed off on me with misdirection and deceit, he's never been feral in his life.
Anyway. I am now earwormed with Other Tom Waits, "Someone's hosing down the sidewalk and he's only in his teens..." I am not myself in my teens, but I did indeed have to hose down the back patio, and then scrub the concrete. I have greater respect now for those who clean up murder-scenes now, legitimately or otherwise...
