    At least she was awake when it happened. Mine only seems to do that just after I’ve turned off the light. (Okay, technically still awake, but a horribly inconvenient time!)

    I once had the shower rod fall down while I was taking a shower! Bruised my shoulder and let water spray all over the bathroom floor.

    I’m reminded of some directions on giving a cat a bath. If you are a woman, sit down and have a good cry. If you are a man, sit down and have a good cry.

    Just picturing a Big Pink House on the moon, where Ora Zella takes one small hop for kittenhood, and then makes one giant pounce for tortie-dom.

    OT Today is the first day of MId-Autum-Festival, when family and friends meet over a meal to watch the full moon. Will our racoon friend bring Sophie a moon cake to share under the shininng orb? Or might the two of them at their separate homes look at the moon their hearts brimming with affection for their absent soul-mate?

    This could be a blessing in disguise. Now she has to go through the closet one item at a time. A great opportunity to weed out the unused, unwanted or hideous (why on EARTH did I buy that?) and donate.

    My closet rod broke which started the whole world crying

    But I didn’t see that most things didn’t fit me oh no

    I started to cry which started the smol cat advising

    Oh If I’d only seen that it was past time to clean

    I looked at pant size running my hands over my thighs

    And OZ yelled “Burn it all dead” hurting my head from things that she said

    ’Till I finally diet which started a new way of living

    Oh if I’d only seen that it broke ’cause of me

    Oh no that it broke ’cause of me

    For what it’s worth, I’ve purged my closet four times since Paul died, and I still have too many clothes This is mainly because I can’t seem to part with some outfits he particularly liked on me.

    Love the “Who do I need to fight” to the “I would build you a whole house and it would be on the moon” and finally “Burn it! Burn it ALL!” That tail keeps going like that she’s going to take off. Of course, wonder who “helped” it fall down……

    Today we have Ora Zella building on the moon. Earlier this week we had Ora Zella fighting the moon. Today we have a mess of clothes on the floor. Last week’s arc featured Tortimer and a missing remote. I can’t help but think these are all somehow precursors to the upcoming story arc.

    Ugh, I HATE it when that happens … and it is NEVER happening again in this house! I replaced the flimsy closet rods that were here with metal pipe and built stouter rod holders, too. Having one rod come down while we were getting ready for work was more than enough.

    Last night there was a crash in the middle of the night. I got up to check, and found one of the cats sitting on the kitchen counter where the paper towel stand was supposed to be, and the paper towel roll was on the floor—in the cats’ water dish. >:-(

    The paper towel stand (with a new, fresh, DRY roll of towels!) now has a new home in the kitchen, hanging from a cup hook I screwed into the ceiling this morning, where cats can’t reach it and my head won’t bump into it either!

    I too am familiar with the falling curtain rod. Mine is the length of two doors, plus; the rod is wooden (I’m not sure you could get wooden ones that long anymore). The maintenance person who fixed it, just put a piece of wood with a V cut out on the end with the broken bracket, plus a bracket in the middle. The end piece works great, but the metal bracket in the middle bent like butter. Rather than have them try again and have to listen to how I have too many clothes in there, I bought a 1×4 board, cut a V in the end, and jammed it up under the rod in the middle. Works much better! (Seriously, why would the closet be that size if it wasn’t meant to hold all the clothes I can cram onto the rod?)
