It would be nice to play! I'm the only one here today but am too busy doing actual work to play. I even brought a DVD, thinking I'd have time to watch a movie on my lunch break, but seriously have been too busy. I haven't even started on the latest search request from my esteemed Dr. P. The only reason I'm blogging now is it's after 5pm and I'm stuck here 'til 6.
Speaking of cats, I KILLED one yesterday! So the score is now Cats 1, Adela 1. However, this murder was in actuality an accident. All I did was pull out of my drive to head to pick up Ma for her doctor's appt., and while waiting for the gate to open saw some movement out of the corner of my eye under the carport. It was a brown cat, thrashing around like a dying fish! I couldn't believe the height it got, like a spring toy! But when I saw the blood near its head I knew what had happened. Why it didn't run away from under my car when the car started I don't know, although I did pull out kind of fast b/c I was running late. I debated backing up and running over it again to put it out of its misery but couldn't stomach the thought. Jumping out of my car to shoot it in the head also seemed distasteful, not to mention illegal in the city limits. I just drove off and hoped death would come soon! Later I found it lying in the grass several yards away. S said my new nickname is "Cat Killer." I told Mudflap to warn his evil cat!
I had to call Job #2 today and let them know that I wanted that $2.00 they shortchanged me on my last paycheck. I told them, "I know it's only $2.00, but I'm not doing volunteer work for the library." I hope I didn't sound like a jerk, but what are they doing shortchanging me?!? Like I always say, if you saw $2.00 on the ground, you'd pick it up! Speaking of which, last Friday I found .26 cents on the ground in a parking lot and was delighted.
Tired, tired, tired. Tonight is rehearsal with Jimmy and tomorrow night is the gig. Had a good time on Monday, though. Took the baby to see Ma and Popo, then we went to L.'s house so we could swim and play with her bratty son. Even though it sprinkled on and off we had a good time and grilled burgers. L. was thrilled when I hugged her and was able to pick her up, which I've never been able to do before but now that she's under 200 lbs. is no prob!

Oh, I'm sorry about the cat. There's nothing worse than killing something accidentally I think. Chances are though, if it didn't move out from under your car it was sick anyway. Despite your experiences with M.'s cat, most aren't crazy or stupid.
