In which I ramble. A lot.

Ana had been cranky cranky cranky, crying and fussing, and I couldn't figure out why. And then I realized "holy crap, you should've had a nap an hour ago! More!" so I chuck her in the crib and she immediately shuts up (and eventually falls asleep).
I didn't know for sure that she was asleep, but I really had to pee. And to do that, I had to walk past her room with no door. But if she saw me, she was sure to freak and start crying. What to do, what to do.... I know! I can crawl past the door, right?
As I'm crawling, it occurs to me that I move the right arm with the left leg, and vice versa. But why? I know that not all mammals do that - some of them move right-right, left-left. In fact, we had a somewhat brain damaged kitty once who spent several days falling over every time she tried to walk. I eventually figured out that she was trying to move both legs on one side first, then the legs on the other (she did recover from this part, thankfully).
So I try that. Huh. Interesting. Not especially easy, though.
And Ana was asleep, so I just got up and walked to the bathroom. No use being silly, right?
