I spent the day cleaning out my closet so I have a "safe" spot to put stuff where my cat can't get to it. I had a lot of crap in my closet. I had boxes from pretty much everything I've bought in the last 5 years as well as a buncha miscellaneous junk I've collected in the last 5 years. After I tossed all the empty boxes, I still had 4 storage boxes worth of stuff I wanted to keep. I threw out a trashcan full of stuff too! What a sad life I lead hehe. I am a bit of a packrat but fortunately I don't own a house so I can't get too carried away and I move every few years so that gets rid of stuff too. But damn, do I really need 2 years worth of Oprah magazines? Nope! Hehe. Anyway after an entire day of sorting, tossing and packing, my closet is now half empty and I can see the floor of it!

My cat was not amused during all this though, this is the second day in a row that I've "redecorated" and I think she's afraid I'll toss her toys (or her) out with all my junk cuz she was very anxious today. Poor thing is sleeping like a baby now, I just hope she stays that way all night. She got stuck in masking tape at least twice today, once getting it rolled up around her while trying to escape, I had to grab her and carefully remove the tape without removing too much fur. She also managed to get her paw stuck in the "handle" of a storage box yesterday and screamed bloody murder whilst doing somersaults to get free. I had to calm her down and lift (yes lift) her paw out. Dumb cat all she had to do was lift it straight up, but alas, she loves to twist and shout. Oh well, she survived and I think learned to avoid chasing invisible mice through box handle holes too!

My cat also got a new nametag, which means I have to keep her now that she's an official "pet". The tag is kinda big and it bugged her a bit the first day, but she's gotten used to it now and thinks she's cool with her sparkly reflective hot pink kitty faced name tag. Or maybe not.

In other news, while taking a break from box moving today, I learned something: One of the characters in the Harry Potter books is real. Well, maybe not real but at least legendary. It seems there really was a Philosopher's Stone and an Elixir of Life and a Nicholas Flamel. Or a legend of him anyway. So I guess this J.K. Rowling is not such a bad writer after all, at least she does her research. Actually though, after having read the first 4 chapters of The Golden Compass from the His Dark Materials series, the HP books are pretty darn good. So far the GC has hardly been a page turner. But the HP books took me between 2 and 5 days a piece to read, they were much more absorbing.
