heather just left. we had a bleak house date. we watched three episodes because it's hard to stop once you start. they always end on such cliff hangers. dicken's characters are all so lovable and outlandish. we had quite the laugh over mr. badger (who is harry potter's uncle). he was perfect in every way.

we soaked our feet while we watched. as you may or may not know or guess, my feet are in dreadful shape. but i gave them a good soak and buff and moisture. they appreciated the gesture but i'm afraid it didn't do much to scratch the surface if you catch my meaning good fellow.

i'm happy to report that i've done my laundry. and it was no small feat i assure you. i had to wait for mr. handsome to move his laundry along. had to wait for him twice. but i dutifully left my movie and trudged up and down the stairs for as many times as it took. and now they're in the dryer and my hopes are that they will soon be dry.

the kittens are tearing up and down the hall and bounding over all the furniture. it's their crazy hour.
