Monday

My lickey alarm is still working every morning, but I had a good night. That little one is so tame and fearless - I sometimes wonder whether she doesn't belong to someone; she doesn't behave like a feral or even like Ziva, when she first moved in. It's almost as if she's always been part of a home, one with dogs at that. She's not afraid of people, nor of the dogs nor of the big cats. But there is absolutely nowhere near my work where she could have come from - and, as I said, one of my colleagues had seen her around for a while before she was trapped. And she was so skinny and had a large tick right on her cheek - I guess it's just her innate nature.

Anyway, I left on time for work but arrived twenty minutes late! That killer-robot near my work was out of order and points-men were 'directing' the traffic, causing a major, major traffic jam! The last two kms took me over half an hour!

At work, there's not much to tell, except that our delivery went out before nine! Well, only because we didn't have much to deliver - with a delivery or collection every single day last week. I caught up on the paperwork and then tackled the tooling store again, just taking stock to see if my system is working. It is. Stock take was 99% accurate.

Bit of a set-back: I can't put on any gloves, where I injured my index finger on Saturday, which means that I can't actually receive goods ... I'll have to make a plan tomorrow, though.

When I drove home, I saw the robot is still not working - that'll be another hell-morning tomorrow! I stopped to buy milk and got lucky: I took his last bottle for the day!

At home, I fed the mini, then sat outside with my mippies. When it was time for them to come in ... mini dashed out! And led me a really, really merry chase - much, much worse than Janey ever has! Mewthos and Janey helped trying to herd her home, but she would have none of it. She zoomed and zipped left and right and up and down and just wouldn't come in! I can't go through that again - I  had better make sure she never, ever gets out again! And maybe, make sure she gets a good run on weekends.

I had quite a bit of work to get done, taking down the laundry, cleaned the litter box, packed my lunch and then sat back wondering whether I should make myself dinner. In the end I decided to go ahead. I tried sharing with my mippies, but they didn't seem to feel like pork chop - strange, but true! The mini kept her distance - she knows she's upset me, but I've picked her up and cuddled her. Yes, I'm angry, but it will pass - she needs to know what upsets me, that's all.

My lot were so wonderful, though! Ziva came in without any trouble and gave no trouble about being shut in! Mewthos and Janey tried herding her towards home - can't blame Janey for trying to join in the game. She realised quite fast that I was not up for games and came me inside without much trouble. Mewthos was out last, but getting him inside is never an issue - just use the 'm' word! Ha Ha! When he hears 'munchies' he comes running at top speed!

Right now my three are on the bed, cuddled together. Mini was here a minute ago as well, I'm not sure where she went off to, though. I gave her another cuddle. She's been playing with Mewthos most of the evening - except when Mewthos was mewling for lovies, of course!

Life with four cats is certainly never dull! Time for cuddle cave, methinks ...
