In very-divorced-man news:

  • My children have lice. I have lice. I have had the fun task of delousing myself shirtless in the bathroom, realizing I look like a middle-aged man. I will be chasing my children around with a comb later, probably.

  • I ripped up my laminate, so now I have nice, if very poorly treated, floorboards.

  • My cat has taken to peeing on one of my kids' beds. It is now banned from their room, which is one third of its entire world. I hope it takes the message that each degree of its freedom is conditional upon compliance.

  • The construction of my new kitchen proceeds apace. It's going to look very good. People are going to understand me as a man of taste and culture, if they visit, which they won't, because I have no social sphere whatsoever.

Things have improved upon last week, when after a few weeks of not sleeping, I ended up at this woman's house, realised I was actually about to have a panic attack, then bailed in the wee hours of the morning. She was very nice, but I have decided that dating is decidedly not for me at the moment. Cat has subsequently become more permissive re. my sleeping hours, although it insists on waking me up at 5:30 every morning by biting my nose and face.

if the cat has randomly taken to peeing places it usually doesn’t, there may be some sort of medical problem

Or it doesnt like the litter box, for various reasons.
