Rain and Tea

It has been so dreary around here for the past couple of days. A perfect atmosphere for making a pot of tea and enjoying the fireplace. I have some schoolwork to do, but I've been putting it off because I really am having a difficult time giving up a break. ONE MORE WEEK! I cannot wait to have a month free.

I've been lounging around, today, being useless. Pretty much watching random movies on television, drinking tea, planning gifts, cleaning, etc. With the exception of the cleaning and planning gifts, I haven't really gotten anything finished - and the cleaning is really not finished. I still have laundry to tackle.

The cats have been particularly odd, today. Patsy has been uber creepy*, and Two-Tone has been sitting on a box beside Tripp's desk, while Tripp plays games. I think it makes him feel important - Two-Tone, that is. It's like his own little seat at Tripp's desk. Right now he is just randomly meowing at Tripp, trying to get his attention.

I'm off to continue being useless. I need some motivation.

*Patsy does this very creepy thing where you'll come around a corner, or won't hear her, but she'll be sitting there - VERY stoic - and just staring blankly at you like she is looking through your soul. It cracks me up because she does it a lot. I think it is just her look, but it scares the crap out of me when I come around a corner in the house and there she is. It reminds me of the two little girls in The Shining.
