We apprehended the suspect: a small, furry fugitive known as “The Kitty.” She is currently being held without bail in the guest bedroom, where she is being reintroduced to the luxuries of indoor living.
She’ll remain in custody for one week before being released into the general population of the house. Until then, all humans must exercise extreme caution when entering or exiting the premises, as this tiny criminal may attempt another daring escape.
Please stay alert. The little dickens is crafty, quick, and clearly has outside connections.
I did a brain reset after yesterday’s fight with the computer, so all is back to “normal”. I shall continue to deal with my mini-frustrations and plan to get up, walk away when things go south!
Thank goodness Sunday is in the trash heap of history!!
A busy morning, indeed.
Mary took off to pick up Dianne and escort her to the hospital for eye surgery, while I remained behind to prepare for my own high-stakes medical drama: a trip to Newport to have my hearing aid repaired.
Before leaving, I wrapped up the 5th anniversary celebration, visited the cat, consulted with the pool man, and then bravely headed south toward Newport—because apparently my calendar had decided I was running a small resort and medical shuttle service.
My hearing aid appointment lasted 15 minutes. Roughly 14½ of those minutes were spent chatting with the hearing specialist, because the”major technical malfunction” turned out to be earwax near the speaker. Thirty seconds after I sat down, she had everything working again. Basically, I drove to Newport for a professional Q-tip and a conversation.
At 1:00 pm., we all reconvened at Filomena’s Italian Deli near the OC Fair, where the food is absolutely OUTSTANDING. Dianne celebrated post-hospital with fried calamari seasoned with Parmesan and parsley, served with house-made Arrabiata sauce. Mary went with Italian Wedding Soup, proving once agaishe’s’s the sensible one. I took the”no wrong answers” route and ordered sausage and peppers over angel hair pasta.
Mary and I shared a bottle of Chardonnay, because after a morning of eye surgery, hearing aid archaeology, cat visitation, and pool management, hydration was important.
We departed around 3:00 pm. I drove Dianne home via the post office, and Mary took her car home via the pharmacy.
Watch out for these people!!
When we got home, Mary took a short nap, and I went to the TV room and watched an old Laurel and Hardy movie, followed by Amos and Andy and the broken clock!
Around 5:30 pm, we headed to the office, and Mary began painting an additional yard art statue. I decided to look at the bills.
