Day four without a car

I don’t think my poor little Mewly gets much sleep. I had to pick him off the kitchen counter again, last night. The look on his face, when I go to collect him isn’t ‘Oops, I’ve been caught being naughty’ but more like ‘The lengths I have to go to get my mommy to pick me up!’ Which isn’t the case, by the way – he gets plenty of attention from me! Anyway, I carry him to the bed, but he’s not finding a comfy position and settles down on the floor again. Later, when I get back from the bathroom I find him in the spot I just vacated! He seems to have found a comfortable position, so I leave him be and fit myself around him and his tribe – ending up stretched diagonally across my bed. He stays there for quite some time, purring as I stroke and scratch him. Eventually he gets up and tries to get some love from Ziva – who seems to be in a good mood, since she starts washing him.

Stray thought popped into my head today: What if, every time we think of those who passed away, apart from keeping them alive in our memories, we also keep them anchored to our world? As in, they can’t find eternal peace (or whatever your belief promises) as long as they keep being pulled back here? Just a thought …

I tried calling my employer, to let him know about the repairs to the car and that the project is now complete. As usual, he doesn’t answer his phone. Well, when he gets the bill he may deign to answer when I call? I have a really strange relationship with my employer – it has its pro’s and con’s. One of the con’s is that he very rarely answers the phone when I call him – even though I only call maybe five times a year. I’ve stopped caring, as long as my salary is paid every month. He also makes little to no effort to find me another contract – I mostly find my own now. So, I don’t bother him and he doesn’t bother me. No worries.

On the other Facebook Game I play, Elvenar, a new round of Fellowship Adventures started unexpectedly – we thought it would only be available to mobile players, but here we are! This requires that someone take lead – do the calculations to decide which quests will get us the highest score. It also requires communication among the fellowship – and that’s where our fellowship fails every time! Anyway, I scrambled to prepare the spreadsheet for those who use it, and to give us at least some guidelines. That kept me quite busy – between naughty Mips, demanding Mips and everything else going on.
