[Last Week] [Saturday]
[Sunday] [Monday] [Tuesday] [Wednesday] [Thursday]
[Friday] [Next Week]
The score is now Malcolm 3, toilet paper 0. Check out Bob's Daynotes
to see the pictures and story from yesterday's escapades. For new readers, a
few weeks ago I posted some pictures the first time Malcolm discovered the
toilet
paper roll in the bathroom. He was a little pup then and could not
reach things up on counter. Now he is bigger and has learned the joys of thieving
things off counters and tables. We have to be diligent about closing
the door to every room in the house when we come and go.
Yesterday I returned home from the gym and was going from room to room
putting things away and tidying up a bit. I heard the dreaded shredding
noises and found Malcolm on the stairs playing with the stolen tissue roll.
I managed to salvage most of the roll although it was a bit chomped in
places. I cleaned up the shreds, made sure the bathroom door was closed this
time and proceeded to try and get some work done.
After lunch I took a shower and took off for the library to volunteer
for a few hours. When I returned, Bob had his today page up on my computer
with the pictures and story ready. You can read the story, but the bottom
line is Malcolm thieved the same role of paper, destroyed it in the den and
hall, and left the tube in the kitchen. And people who think because we
don't have children, we do not lead exciting lives!
I am still experiencing weirdness with my Plextor 2000 CD software. It
hosed my system up again yesterday. Bob will need to look at it closer to
determine if this version is buggy and see if there is a newer one
out.
I get all the free stuff that Bob receives
from vendors. I have t-shirts, caps, sticky notes, pens, etc. some mainly
because the shirts and hats Bob will not wear and they would not fit him anyway.
Yesterday he got this neat wrist rest from Antec for me to try. My new
Microsoft keyboard came with a wrist rest attached, but I am going to try
the new one out to see if it helps my wrists even more.
Years of sports and a bit of arthritis cause my hands and wrists to
bother me periodically when I type/mouse for too long. I
have a wrist rest mouse pad, but if this new type wrist rest works, I may
see if they make a similar one in mouse pads.
I am going over to my folks for lunch today and then going out to take a
picture of a rescue BC for our web site.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
