Today, I went to Ikea and picked up a beige Egeby sisal rug. I needed a new one to replace the old one that I’ve had since moving in. See, as much as the old one looked all right, it was very prone to shedding, and produced a ridiculous amount of lint that seemed to fly all over my condo’s floors with free abandon. I thought that the shedding would die down as the lose fibres were picked off. No, it never did die down; the carpet continued to shed as much as it did after the first week. I decided that I wanted a sisal rug because I knew that the natural fibres would be likely to stay together. I’ve been wanting to replace the old rug for ages, but I never found a good enough reason to do so…until today. I suppose I have Gloria the cat to thank for that. While she was with me she picked at the carpet like doing so was going out of style. Part of me reasoned that as long as she was picking at the one item I didn’t want, she’d be less likely to claw any of my furniture. True. By the end of her stay, the carpet was totally looking worse for wear. There was totally no reason to keep the old around anymore.
So, based one what I just wrote, it should be clear that Gloria’s no longer staying here. She was picked up and taken back to where she came from. It’s not as if she’s going with some total stranger. No. She’s really familiar with the old home such that I shouldn’t feel bad at all. It’ll take me a while to get comfortable with my space again, but I’ll get there.
