These are the days where the acorns drop off of the oak trees with each gust of wind. We bought a 4×6′ seagrass rug at Pier One. It isn’t really meant for outdoor use, but since it was only $20, we decided to try it on our porch. It smells nice and grassy, but it would be rather intense for an indoor rug. And Lo really enjoys stretching her claws on it, so now we have another reason to let Lo out on the porch with us. Too bad they don’t have a larger size.

Lo seems to have conjunctivitis in one eye. This will make the third vet visit in two weeks! Lo is finally getting over her cat cold, and seems to have regained some appetite. This is turning out to be a very expensive kitten.

This weekend, Julie and I are building some shelves in the closet of the office. So far, we have completed demolition of an annyoing cheap-o shelf/clothes holder that the builder installed. We have had considerable trouble attaching brackets for the shelves to the walls. The studs were in the wrong place, so we tried to use some heavy-duty drywall anchors. Then I broke the anchors by installing them too close to a stud in the edge of the wall (where we couldn’t detect it with the stud finder). And then drilling out broken drywall anchors turned out to be nearly impossible. I think we have a good plan now: one side will screw into the studs and the other side of the shelf will have anchors. Hopefully we can finish it up this afternoon.
