Neurosis in QUOTIDIEN

For the past hour or so, the running, background sound of life has been 'CLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICKCLICK'. That's Beth, our German shepherd trotting after Ziggy, our gargantuan, black cat. My God, she is making me insane!!

But it's not just that. She has this thing about moving lights. She is constantly looking up to the ceiling, checking for the reflection of light from my iPad, or cell phone. Seriously neurotic! I believe this to be the product of her being bored and indoors for the better part of the day as we mere humans come naturally clothed in nothing more than a thin layer of flesh and shun the great outdoors. And if you are anything like this human, no matter the layers of clothing, a bone-chill sneaks it's nasty way through the seams and punishes you for your humanness. So - it's not Beth's fault. I shall grit my teeth and bear it, but DAYUM, c'mon spring, already!

Meanwhile, I believe we must be the only family NOT watching the Super Bowl.
