Jan. 30th, 2005 09:49 amDear sweet Yuki is not allowed in my bedroom when I'm not there anymore. It's not so much the "occasionally using my duvet as a litter tray" thing. It's the "the world is her toy box" thing. As Queen of Creative Clutter, I can't afford to let the cat wreak havoc in here. So I make sure she's out in the sitting room, kitchen or corridor when I leave the house for any length of time.
Yuki has worked this out; smarter than she looks, that one. She knows that when the jacket goes on, it means people are leaving. She doesn't like people leaving. So she hides under my bed, knowing that I will have to retrieve her before I can go anywhere. Which has resulted in me finding new and interesting ways of luring her out from under the bed so I can actually go anywhere. It's like hunting, only without the killing bits. So far the best tactic is to lure her out before I put my jacket on, so she'll be lulled into a false sense of security. Yes, I spend my mornings trying to outsmart a small fluffy kitten. (Okay, small fluffy cat who never really grew up; she's the Peter Pan of cats.) It's a little ridiculous.
The rucksack is of great and terrible weight. I am returning the World of Darkness sourcebook but have decided to hold off on the Requiem one, not so much because I still need it (though am going to give the White Wolf novel contest thing another go) but because I just couldn't face bringing one more sourcebook, particularly not hardcover. If it's desperately needed by the denizens of Sourcebook Central, I can bring it back on Wednesday, when it's only being dragged in with the 7th Sea Player's Guide and the Vendel/Vesten book rather than with the Mage sourcebook, the WoD core rules and over half a dozen "just in case" supplements (Freak Legion, Mafia, Bygone Bestiary etc). I love my random players but they are going to give me such back problems.
Okay, Yuki has now decided that I should be paying attention to her rather than typing. This tends to involve crawling onto my lap and impeding all efforts to do anything but cuddle her. Therefore, I will cuddle her and leave all this computer madness for later on this evening, hoping against hope that she will not decide to do the exact same thing when I want to do the Mage write-up. I still never did any of the coding I meant to do over the weekend. Suck. Oh well, I think I just really needed the break.
