So, the cat door has been installed, daylight savings time is in effect, Violet and I are the only ones in the house, and I have to fill three hours. Generally, I would fill it up by killing time, but blogging seems to be rather cathartic for me. I am going to figure out how to spend three hours doing chores and keeping Violet entertained.
