The handymen are here!

Handily installing the wood-burning stove. I hope. They are encountering some complications. It may not actually be usable till after Thanksgiving. Pray for it to actually work.

Alex is delighted with the handymen, who like cats and let him jump on their shoulders. I gave one of them a cup of coffee and warned him that he shouldn't let Alex jump on him while he was drinking it. He assured me he'd hold it out of Alex's way. Next thing I knew, Alex had launched himself off his shoulders in an apparent attempt to swan-dive into the cup. Coffee EVERYWHERE.

Ahaha, you also have a cat who likes coffee! Braveheart is a little less obnoxious about it, but I have to babysit any given mug or she'll dunk her head in. Her favorite thing to sneak into is coffee ice cream, though.

When I was a teenager my cousin had a parakeet who used to swan-dive into undefended glasses of water. I had been warned about this, but nothing can really prepare you for standing around in the kitchen chatting when all of a sudden there's a rapid streak of movement over your shoulder and your perfectly normal glass of water has the back end of a parakeet thrashing around in it.

Alex doesn't like coffee. Alex likes trouble.
