55°F and raining. In JUNE. :(

I wish there was a way to only see one post if it's been cross posted to various communities. This is particularly a problem with the cooking communities. Some people want to post their stuff to EVERY single cooking-related community there is, and I simply don't need to see the same damn posts over and over and over again.
Well, we survived the weekend. ( Random observations about the kitty cat companion trial so far. )
I may be going away for a long weekend during July 4 and am not sure yet what I'm going to do with Jaime. I know one of the benefits of having a cat is that they don't need much minding, but I don't know if 4 days alone is reasonable. How long have you kept your cat in the house alone, with no one looking in?
Also, wanna hear something funny? Homeward's cats page has been updated. It shows what animals are currently available to adopt, their histories/preferences, and if they're currently being fostered. Jaime? Totally gone, not even there, not showing that he's being fostered. Apparently they are so convinced it's going to work out with me that he's been taken off the adoption list entirely!
When I first leased my car, I scratched the door against a pillar while trying to park in a parking garage at work. The car had like 800 miles on it. >< I took it to get repaired at this place I've used several times before, and at first it looked great. But as time passed it became more and more obvious that the paint was a slightly darker shade of silver than the rest of the vehicle, particularly obvious in sunlight. I thought (hoped) it was just me, but I've had several people mention it to me so I know it's definitely off. I procrastinated about getting it back to the repair shop to redo, even though I believe they have a lifetime guarantee on their work. Well, I finally had them look at it, because my lease is ending soon and whatever I decide to do, the door needs to be the same shade of silver as the rest of the car. They admitted that it was a darker silver. So now I have to find some time to give them the car for 3 business days. >< What sucks is that I'll probably need to rent a car during that time, so that's extra expense. In theory (and in my opinion), they should cover the cost since it's their mistake, but if they won't do it I don't know that I want to spend the time to fight with them about it. Still, something else to stress about, sigh. Edit: They've agreed to take care of the rental car. Yay!
Nominations for this round of the![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
dgficexchange are in, so if you are so inclined, you can cast your votes here. Voting closes on June 12. I haven't voted on the fic awards yet because I want to read all the finalists (I did the art one though), so I probably won't be voting until the very last day, which is pretty much my MO for everything in life.
