I use these two words a lot and realize some of you may not be familiar with them unless you are Brit or Irish.

Tiddle means to sort of pat into place and do little extras as in "I tiddled up the parlour before the guests arrived." Disney is now tiddled up. I wiped some of her eye stains off, removed some twigs from her fur and gave her a quick brushing.

Niggles are things of minor importance that bug you as in "My list of niggles includes: wipe off the stovetop, change the towels in the powder room, etc." They are basically things that take less time to do than you've spent thinking about them!

I got someone to cover for me at work this morning and took the train downtown. I got the house transferred into my name as well as the car I am driving. It's up to Robert to transfer the title on the car he drives (and pay the $80+ cost). Then work got crazy so I've been playing catchup.

It's been raining this afternoon and the dog had an accident in the house plus he chewed where he shouldn't so he is peacefully napping in his crate now. When the rain lets up we'll take him for a nice long walk.
