What a lucky cat you have--you take care of her needs so well.
I loved your description of the bed, the cat, etc. I can just see a cat stealing the warm spot.
No, I have no pets.
Well, the heat went off again yesterday and it got really cold again. The heating guy came back this evening, and started to check. He pulled the fuse module out and tested it--it was ok. He put it back and started to unscrew the door to the main unit, and lo and behold, the heat came back on. Can't figure it out.
I still may need to replace the outside unit, and possibly the inside unit. But don't know, until someone can figure out what went wrong.
In the meantime, I was doing laundry and the washing machine stopped right at the point when it is supposed to start spinning to drain the water. I tried restarting it, etc. several times (also trying different cycles, etc.) and it keeps on stopping before the spin. So I've got the washer full of a load of laundry soaking in cold, soapy water that I can't get rid of!
You know what they say--"If it's not one thing, it's your mother!"
This is starting to feel like the old Woody Allen nightclub routine about mechanical objects. I have it on an LP, but haven't heard it in over ten years, because who has a record player anymore anyway (oh, boy--I know I'm gonna get some flak for that one, knowing this crowd :->).
It starts off, "I have never had (Woody Allen pause) a good relationship (Woody Allen pause) with mechanical objects..." It goes on to describe how his tv was acting up so he hit it to make it work better, and soon enough all of his mechanical objects stop working in protest. So he calls all of them into the living room for a meeting, and says to them, "I know what you're up to, and cut it out!" He then goes to a meeting in a high rise, and when alone in the elevator, the elevator asks him, "Are you the guy (pause) who hits his TV?" The elevator proceeds to jump up and down from floor to floor, knocking him about, and then spits him out in the deserted basement of the building.
Ok, so my synopsis doesn't do it justice, but you get the idea. And at the moment, am I able to relate.
