Back massagers do tho. There really should be a similar machine that just does light tickles up and down ones back.
 
I love it when I vacuum and move the couch to get all the cat toys that get flung under there. WTF-he has 2 or 3 to play with-but he wants the one under the couch. Als0-I am going to invent a barrier that goes in front of the couch that will prohibit all animal toys from going under there. ALSO, I combined 2 cat toys-1 spring and 1 ball in order to make them easier to retrieve and still fun for the cat.
omg so much for that fucking cat lol

Life is just generally horrible. Back in the 20th century, there was a "Call of C'thulu" RPG based on Lovecraft's stories and my friend that was running it summed up the rules as "the goal is to avoid being horribly killed or going insane for as long as possible." "Think I'll do a little spring cleaning. [moves couch] Yay. Dead baby mice." Walking The Dog yesterday, she found a headless rabbit. So now I'm wondering what predator is fast enough to kill a rabbit but then only eats the head. "Save versus Constitution or take D4 Insanity Points."

I wouldn't think hawks would choose the head over tasty bits of meat and entrails and I'd think coyotes would just eat the whole thing.
 
I found the missing Roku remote! I thought it had fallen through the slat in the back of the couch to the floor But it was wedged under the couch cushions.

I found it when I went rooting around for the replacement remote when I woke up today, so I found 2 down there.
 
I'm missing a headless rabbit. Yesterday it was down to just one front leg. Today it was completely gone.
 
A poker for the fire pit. Had a year's worth of brush to burn so I dragged it out into the middle of the driveway to minimize fire danger. Finally burned the last of the brush and got to tidying things up. Dumped the ash along the fenceline. Put the primary poker Someplace Safe Where I Won't Lose It while gathering up the spare poker and the parts of the fire pit to put them back at their usual place. When a bunch of new branches blew down in a storm not 24 hours later, I realized the one poker was nowhere to be seen.

I guess I should be happy I didn't "find" it while mowing the lawn. This new mower isn't nearly the tank that the old mower was and hitting a hunk of metal with it wouldn't have done it any favors.
 
My list of weekend chores.

I used to make a checklist of things that needed doing over the weekend but I realized it's the same things every weekend, so rather than make a new list every week I just add a row of new checkboxes to the old list every week. When the sheet is full I copy the list to a new sheet. I finished doing last week's bookkeeping and crossed it off on the list. This weekend I went for the list to see how much stuff I could cross off and it was gone. Just nowhere. Checked the (physical) inbox, checked the trash can, it's nowhere. It's the same place the other fire pit poker is. I had that too and then the next time I needed it, it was just gone.
 
The poker turned up.

The Cat was Out when it was time for The Dog to go on her morning patrol. He was sitting on the bottom step of the deck. And for whatever reason, instead of going to her usual place by the gate, The Dog sat down a little ahead of The Cat. I came up to see what she was up to and coincidentally there, buried under a couple weeks of lawn clippings, was the missing poker. Apparently the Safe Place where I Can't Lose it was just randomly dropping it in the grass in the general vicinity of where the fire pit goes (I move the fire pit out to the middle of the driveway when I burn large amounts of brush). I will say I searched that area at least 3 times after losing it because I thought that might be where it was, but somehow I didn't see it until now.
