So Time warner Cable still had my name spelled incorrectly - after 4 different times supposedly correcting the spelling. Seriously. This time I had the person read back the spelling to me.
Part of the reason I was calling them was to find out if they would send someone out to string the 50 ft cable through our house and get it off my floor!
They're sending someone on Sunday! morning to do that, and anything else I can think of at the same time. Maybe have them string cords to all the rooms in the house?? She said something about outlets too? It'll cost $40, but I think it's worth it to have someone who knows what they are doing to do it. Who knows when we'd have the time to figure out how to do it ourselves .. the cord is unsightly.

I had a horrible sinus headache yesterday after work. Pretty debilitating, actually. I ended up sleeping most of the evening, then getting up to take Koky out and feed the gang. Then back to bed.
DH came over after work (around 4 a.m.) and I woke up when he came in. My headache was thankfully gone by then.
The only thing I can think of is that the last two times this happened, it was after DH mowed the yard. He came in the middle of it to take a break and laid down on the bed in his clothes. So .. I'm thinking that whatever I'm allergic to in grass cuttings stuck to his clothes and transferred to the bedding.
Hence the sinus headache - no matter how much Allegra D, Nasacort, etc.
I told DH that next time he cuts the grass and wants to take a break in the middle, he'll have to disrobe before laying on the bed.

We have a couple of very persistent kitites for getting on the kitchen counters. I've covered them nearly completely in aluminum foil and double sided tape. All it really has accomplished is to make it noisily apparent when a cat is on the counter ...
I don't want to use the electronic mats or loud noises (two of the cats are quite skittish already) - I saw the idea of an upside down chair mat. They're pretty expensive though - also saw something called an x-Mat which is a similar idea (and cheaper.)
Any other ideas on how to keep cats off counters? Once we can successfully to do that, then I plan on working on the dining room table ...

I put up 3 sun window seats for the cats in the living room. Only one cat so far has braved them ... Our own little Pepe le Peau!
Here are some pictures:

I got my first letter from our mortgage company with our account number, etc. So now I can set up our online account. I'll probably do that when I finish here.
Still don't have a bill from the plumber.
DH got in touch with a fencing guy today. He'll be coming by tomorrow to do an estimate. The fire was fueled by finding a big pile of dog excrement which could only be from the next door neighbors German Shepherd in our yard. Yuck!

There are motion detector compressed-air things we use to try and keep the cats away from the bedroom door; you could put those up when you're not using the kitchen yourself, but otherwise they would be too annoying because they go off whenever you move in front of the sensor.
