Exercise in Futility

Jun
14

When people find out that I have eight cats, sometimes they ask me how I handle all the cat hair. As if I must be an expert and I have some secret for dealing with the flying fluff. Well, yes, yes, I do, I have a secret and I’m not going to tell you. Okay, okay, here it is. I can’t believe I’m spilling this on the internet as it is highly valuable proprietary information. But I don’t want you to think that all I do all day is bake bread and cavort with my chickens. So when my dining room chairs start to look like this:





I get out a damp washcloth and rub the worst of it off.





I pick off the big fur clumps.





Now it’s time for the lint roller to fine-tune the situation.





Behold! A clean chair! I have eight dining room chairs and the cats are equal opportunity fur depositers, so just seven more to go. It takes a couple of hours to get them all really clean. Whew, that’s hard work, but so satisfying. I have clean chairs!





Cats love clean chairs.





I’m going to go throw myself off a cliff now.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
