So we all know when we were kids we played on the furniture pretending the floor was hot lava.
In any event, my cats play this game on a daily basis. Something has deceived them into thinking my bathroom floor is hot lava. One cat will jump onto the sink and cross the toilet to the top of the litter box to eat and then balance on the edge of the shower and crawl and drag herself into the litter box like some golum creature just so she doesn't touch the floor.
She sits on the toilet while I shower and when I step out she stares at me like i'm a demon for being able to walk on hot lava.
Lava doesn't hurt me.
As I was in the shower today though..scrubbing along, I decided that my new goal for the fall was to memorize the periodic table of the elements.
This idea didn't just come to me out of nowhere, I proudly own a new periodic table of the elements shower curtain.
But when I was scrubbing my hair....
Scrub scrub.. scrub scrub.. ooh! Radon!
I found myself going through the noble gases this morning and read through the entire chart.
I was trying to see how many I remembered and I look at the chart while I brushed my hair.
Manganese, Chromium, Vanabium.. and then I realized that I had been reading it backwards so off the bat I was memorizing the table in reverse. I looked at it again.. Vanabium had magically become Vanadium. Apparently I can't read backwards. This is going to be harder than I had anticipated.
