Four things make a post

[redbird]

We now have a microwave, which was delivered this morning. We didn't have one in the Somerville apartment because there was no room for one; that kitchen was tiny, and significantly short of counter space.

This afternoon I finished editing the ninth and last chapter of the book I'm working on, and sent it back to the client. He's going to look at it, accept or reject my edits, and then send me all the edited chapters for a final pass, including the bits where I go back to chapter 2 to check consistency with something I spotted and fixed in chapter 5.

cattitude and I walked around a little bit this morning, exploring the neighborhood, and did some shopping at the CVS. Most of this exploring is going to be just looking at houses, gardens, and trees; the businesses in this bit of Belmont are either on or very near Trapelo Road, which is also this end of the 73 bus route.

I bought a bunch of zinnias at the farmers market yesterday. Kaja keeps jumping on the table and biting through the stems, and when we got back from our walk we found the vase on its side, a large puddle of water on the table, and another on the floor under it. I don't understand why she attacks flowers: this is not a cat who is otherwise interested in fruit or vegetables. Zinnias are cat-safe, though I didn't check before buying them. It's probably a good thing I didn't buy one of the mixed bouquets: even if nothing in them is poisonous to cats, we'd have had to identify all the plants in order to check that.

My mother had a cat who would persistently drag all the baby's breath out of a bouquet and strew it about the floor. At the time it was used as filler a lot by florists, but apparently he had an aesthetic objection to it.
