Fish strikes again

Started a new medication today, which must be taken on an empty stomach and with no food to follow for 1 hour. So I get up, take the pill, and retrieve 2 muffins (a sort of banana-bran muffin made with a Kashi cereal) from the freezer to thaw a little in the intervening hour.

Fifty minutes later, I wander by the kitchen, and see Fish hurriedly jump from the counter to the floor. One partly-defrosted muffin has been extracted from the kitchen towel I had wrapped them in, and has been about a third eaten. Crumbs are scattered all around--cat teeth not being well-designed for eating muffins.

While Fish has a continuing problem of getting on the dining room table when I'm not home, I had seen no evidence of him getting on the kitchen counter, even though I occasionally let very tempting stuff sit out for more than an hour, unguarded, during dinner prep or mealtimes. Why did low-cal high-fiber muffins entice him when chicken or beef did not?

Strange cat.

Oh, the horror...

I went shopping. (We hatessss ssshopping, yessss....)

I went shopping, at Walmart, on a Saturday afternoon, when the Back-to-School Sales were on, on tax-free weekend.

However, I have emerged with new jeans (that fit! size 10!), shorts ditto, and assorted necessities. And it was really not as painful as it might have been, all things considered. But I'm not going back for a while.
