Rejoicing in The Return Of The Cat. Our big tom - Da Booj - rocketed out of the house three days ago while the wife was signing for a package. Showed up just 20 minutes ago, none the worse for wear.
Panic over.

I hope he gets better soon.

Was busy hitting the snooze button because I was going to have to go to my daughter's to wait for their new new washing machine to be delivered but that's handled now.
I say new new, because the new one that was delivered Thursday leaked.
Deciding if I should go back to sleep or not.
I'm your huckleberry.

Every time I’m almost asleep tonight, I get up to make sure the recently returned cat is still in the house.

Three of mine are asleep on or near me.
The other is asleep in the hallway.

My cat bugged me for a petting.

Just got up from a refreshing 2-hour nap during which I charged my Philips Lifeline. I'm going to check on my Monarch caterpillars, then play PC Scrabble for a few hours.

Just got back from Target. I needed some peas to add to chicken tikka masala tomorrow, and to return something.
Just had a beer. Beaver Island axe dragger IPA. *thumbs-up*

A thoroughly dented car just pulled up in front of my house, which sits close to a fairly busy road. The passenger opened the door and tossed what looks like some garbage onto my lawn before a cop came speeding up and pulled in front of the car. Another officer parked behind it subsequently. Questioning and a car/ garbage search are in progress.
It's like we never left Chicago.
