hello kitty

This morning it occurred to me that I hadn't seen the cat in a while. I asked David if he'd seen her, and he said he hadn't. It stayed in my mind all morning, and by lunchtime, I thought I'd put some food out for her and see if it brought her up to the front door. Just about then, I remembered going out to the storage building to look for something on Saturday. She often will follow me inside, though I didn't remember seeing her do so then. It couldn't hurt to check, and by the time I'd walked out there, I became convinced that she'd been stuck in there since Saturday. I opened the door expecting to be greeted by the foul odor of dead animal, and I just felt sick about it. After all, that was Saturday and today was Wednesday. Instead, I opened the door and she sat there calmly and meowed hello. She was just fine--I have no idea how. She was happy to see her full food bowl and water bowl and availed herself of them immediately.

Other than the cat thing working out just fine, the rest of the day was stressful and irritating. Dennis is having some trouble with his teeth and he's been whiny all day as well as getting into untold mischief all over the house, all the time. I'd just about reached my wits end when I was cooking supper and he tossed the ceramic butter dish off the table. It landed in a chair and didn't break but got butter everywhere. I had to count to 10 to get hold of myself. He could tell how mad I was, so he came over and bear hugged my legs and told me "good morning, Precious." It helped!
