This week is all about doing things that make me feel good, and addressing whatever makes me feel bad, to see if there’s anything I can do about it.

So far so good.  I went to therapy and then to my friend Jackie’s apartment where she helped me (did all the work) upgrading WordPress, the software that runs all my blogs, AND she fixed a few bugs in the appearance, AND she added pictures of the people I wrote about to the right hand side of the Unbelievable blog.  Check it out!!  Thank you so much, Jackie!!

And, I saw this guy walking home. Hey doggie.

Gothamist linked to a bunch of photographs of New York from the forties.  I copied a few to do before and afters, but this one doesn’t really need an after.  It’s unchanged.  I just the love the snow, and the feel of old New York, even though in this case it looks exactly the same today (well, today if it was winter).

I’m going to this today, a lecture about some EVP tapes made at Lizzie Borden’s house.

Come on birds.  Let’s get this show on the road.

Okay, I think this will work better.

Except I think the cats might balk at the encroachment of the new curtain on their litter space.

But this was my only other option to drape it.  Not very elegant.

This is just so insane.

Why can’t I ever ever ever ever have normal cats??

It’s me, isn’t it?

Oh please work.  I don’t know what else to do.

By the way, no bird have shown up at the bird feeder yet.  Pigeons and starlings have landed on the fire escape but they totally ignore the bird feeder.

I filled it with black oil sunflower seeds, which I read was best for the widest variety of wild birds.

Finney sometimes pees off the side of the litter box so I fashioned these “curtains” to catch the pee and direct it back inside the litterbox. My big fear was one day he’d pee off the right side, where it would be tricky to hang a curtain.

It happened, except it was Buddy.  I looked all over town for a completely covered litterbox that would fit in this space.  That curved pipe is a problem.  I bought the smallest one out there but it was too big.  (It’s going to an animal shelter.)

So back to putting up a curtain.  I’m not sure if this is going to work.  I had to drape it underneath that pipe and up again and I’m just not sure it’s going to work as a pee re-director.

I’m on the verge of tears over this.  (I know, I know.) I wonder if I should try again to hang that in front of the pipe somehow.  The issue is finding a flat surface to affix the hooks.  I need help!! Okay, going back in there.
