The Universe Hates Me, it would seem....

captainsblogI was down to what is commonly referred to as "emergency underwear," so I laid in a load of wash a few hours ago.
When I went to switch it to the dryer, the contents were covered with a sticky whitish goo.
A cat must've gone prospecting sometime in recent days on the shelf above the basket in my closet- and either the top lid of, or the entirety of, a three-quarters-full box of my business cards fell into the laundry basket below it, and just got washed beyond recognition.
The evidence suggests only the former, as I could only find traces of one rectangular surface, no more than four side-sized ones, and only the text of the sample card taped to the outside of the box. But I cannot, for love or money, find the bottom of the box or the hundreds of cards that had occupied it, anywhere in that closet or elsewhere in my office. So until proven otherwise, I must assume they are currently dead and that, left only with a dozen or so in a holder, I will need to order more.
I also assume the cats won't mind when I feed them large traces of school paste in the morning from the lint trap.

In happier news, though: my rainbow protest post from earlier today? That was my 4,000th entry, which is a few weeks overdue, but, given the sentiment, I'd say was well worth the wait:)
