Computer obstinacy

I do not know what is going on but my computer is being a little obstinate.  Specifically, the mouse is being obstinate.  I am having difficulty blocking to copy and paste.  Sometimes, it works just fine. Sometimes, I can only get part of what I want to block, and sometimes, I cannot get the mouse to respond so I can block anything.  Other times, I can block everything.  Which is what I do, and after I copy, just delete what I do not want, which is faster, sometimes, than re-typing everything.

Oh well, my computer goes through these episodes of quirks that I am used to adjusting to, and then they go away, and things return to normal.

Taki's Quirks

Taki has some interesting quirky behaviors.  Most recently, she has taken to sitting next to the laptop computer, and putting her paws on the keyboard. Not standing on the keyboard, but hunched next to it, and spreading her "forearms" and paws to rest lightly on the keyboard.  I keep telling her she is not allowed on the keyboard.  She is smart and picks up on the "nos" quickly, when she wants to. She does not want to for this quirk. 

Also, Taki has long lusted to play with the chain controls for the ceiling fan over my bed. Pre-Taki, I had extended chains that were about 8-12" above the mattress.   Taki has taken to wanting to play with them.  I have visions of her pulling the ceiling fan down.  I have removed the extended chains, and knotted the remaining chain up above the mattress about 18". Taki still jumps to play with them.  A problem I need to revisit this weekend, and see what I can do to make it safer.
