26Mar25: just enough…

Andy was enjoying a catnip…

…when I decided he needed my attention.

Andy was OK with it initially.

Then he wasn’t OK with it,so he started to leave.

I still wasn’t done with my little sweetie!

Andy,on the other hand was done with my attention. I knew this because his tail was starting to twitch,his ears were beginning to pin back, and he put his paw on my fingers to tell me so!

My front storm door is falling apart, thanks to strong seasonal winds blowing it open and into the side of the building. I have a saying, reserved for maintenance people I need to call on to fix or straighten out things is, “If you want a crap fix, leave to me.”

In the photo above is my “crap fix” to end that annoying bang-bang-bang all day and night till the new door is installed. I screwed a nail onto the door frame and loop twine around it. Then I tie the ends around the door handle so that the door latch is pulled in snugly against the striker plate. Voila! A perfect “Doug’s Crap Fix!”

Yeah! Yeah! Now you have to tie and untie it any time you or someone needs to enter or exit the apartment! I know! That complication is precisely how you know this is my “crap fix.” It also is why I don’t have to train maintenance people to deal with my needs more than one time.
