9 days and a stupid cat
I got a Samsung mini-tablet for my birthday, and with it came a very lovely white charging cord. The best thing about this charging cord is that it's fast. It juices up my phone and the tablet much faster than any of the other cords I have hanging around the house.
Servo has recently discovered this cord and likes nothing better than to chew on it. I keep it in my room and over the last two days, if I forget to shut my bedroom door for any length of time, I'll go in my room and find Servo with the cord in his mouth.
This makes me very angry.
Magic likes to come in our room too, but all he does is hide out under the bed and lick himself.
So, now I have to be better at remembering to put the cord in a drawer when it isn't being used, and I have to remember to shut the bedroom door. Magic will have to find somewhere else to lick himself and Servo will have to stay out of my way for a while.
In other news, I made the mistake of taking Hayley out for driving practice yesterday after several inches of snow had fallen on the roads. We stayed on neighborhood roads, but she still got up enough speed to, not once, but TWICE, spin out in the middle of the road. The first time we ended up perpendicular to the flow of the traffic (luckily there was none), and the next time, we did a full 180. Luckily, we did not hit anything, not even a snowdrift at the side of the road. She did not like it the first time it happened, but the second time, she suggested we go to the high school parking lot and spin donuts.
No.
And as an aside, here's a pop quiz: What do you think makes my legs most jelly-like? A) 40 gazillion lunges at the gym with the personal trainer, B) Hiking up sheer cliffs on a 12" wide path, or C) a 10 minute drive around the neighborhood with an inexperienced child at the wheel?
It's Jim's turn to be the driving coach for the next several years.

I love cats. They are the funniest of pets. I miss my cats. Pet your cats for me.
I don't have cats so nothing in my house gets chewed. Problem solved.
I don't like to think of Hayley and you spinning out while she's learning to drive, but at least it sounds like she's getting more confident behind the wheel!
