she (we?) are just starting to get to normal
smudge has been off her rocker since the day all the boxes came
not only was she unceremoniously shoved into the bathroom
for an unduly long period of time
(with oski, not sure that's a plus)
but boxes only mean one thing to her:
moving/disorientation
not settling in/comfort
and she has been anything but settled
so much so that
she hasn't even been sitting in my lap when i paint
(kind of a blessing because she makes it rather difficult
what with her tail swishing back & forth
like an unpredictable brush
and besides
she makes my legs fall asleep)

anyway
it took her a long time to resume position today

out takes
