Frustrations of a cat owner

Precious meowed his head off to go outside while I was changing his water bowl, etc. and when I open the door to go out, he is on top of the cupboards napping. He napped for an hour before meowing to go outside again. After a brief struggle with the harness he hates, we made it outside. It was very nice out with only a small breeze.

Yesterday, when we went outside he parked his butt on a step on the staircase. After 10 minutes of sitting there, I decided to go back inside the apartment and Precious did not object. It must have been the wind cause they didn't go out on the balcony either.

In other news, I went to the apartment gym and worked out on the ellipical and bicycle. My legs were so numb that I lifted the 5 lbs weights and stretched out on a mat. Then some sit ups and push ups on the ball. I'm sure I'll be sore tomorrow.

I got an absentee ballot and mailed it yesterday. My coworker said he voted at the local library. He didn't care who was president, he just wanted to vote for the winner. Yes, well, those people who win the elections are the ones who determine your taxes, laws, our enemy of the month, and appoint government officials and judges. I care a bit more who is in office. Popularity isn't everything in my opinion cause it swings both ways. A hero today can be a villian tomorrow. Though I still don't get why every election Iowa is always a battleground state, cuz Democrats usually win.
Later.
