Angela's latest invention

We ordered a doggie door for our window yesterday, but it takes six days to manufacture and another few days to deliver, so it won't be here until the week of Thanksgiving. But Angela decided to rig up something to get us by in the interim, because Harry's every move is waking her up at night and she's quickly becoming watery-eyed and delirious from the lack of sleep. Something's gotta give. So basically she propped open one of the bedroom windows and blocked off half of the open space with a piece of plywood, and that leaves the other half for the pups to walk through. She even put some catalogs below the window and wrapped them in a huge towel so the spoiled-rotten pups have some traction and a boost to get out the window and onto the deck.

We can't have a screen on the window right now, so of course being the paranoid worry wart that I am, I'm envisioning the migration of all sorts of bugs and critters into the house and the subsequent popping up of holes, mounds, and nests. But Angela says not to worry. She's so worn out with getting up in the middle of the night to let the dogs out that she doesn't mind if we have to sleep in a forest. She likes camping anyway. I can't stand it. I went camping once with Angela and her whole family and I slept in the car. I thoroughly enjoy the outdoors when I'm walking from the mall to my car, or sitting on the patio grilling some pizzas, but I would rather not be immersed in it for extended periods of time. It's not like I'm unadventurous or anything. :-) I just think people went to a lot of trouble erecting houses and buildings and they should be used as much as possible. Good spin, huh.

I'm almost always cold, so if the low drops below fifty anytime in the next two weeks I'm going to be hurtin'. Believe me, there is nothing that will cause Angela to undo the propped-open window. We've finally realized how much easier our lives can become if we just put a hole in the house somewhere, and it would be silly to mess with that greatness. Last night I slept with a sheet, blanket, and comforter, and an extra blanket and down blanket. Five layers. I think Angela slept with a sheet and a blanket. She's a fireplace and I'm a freezer.

It's a beautiful day today! Does opening the moon roof count as fully enjoying it? Hope so.
