The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Yesterday...

Good:

• The Hubby erected a screen door at the top of the stairs, so Angel has even more room to traverse.
• The Hubby did the laundry.
• I picked up vegan sandwiches on my way home from work, and we dined with relish!
• The final episode of my favorite TV show "The X-Files" was terrific!

  

  Angel is my sweet bunny girl!

Bad:

• The laundromat that The Hubby normally uses was closed for renovation, so he drove 30 minutes to the place we used to visit before we got married.  Due to long driving time, my clothes are all wrinkled!
• While working on the frame for Angel's screen door, a board fell sideways and broke a pane of glass in our picture window.
• The Hubby left the grocery store without purchasing any bread, which was the main reason he'd gone to the store in the first place.
• The final episode of my favorite TV show "The X-Files" was THE FINAL EPISODE!

Ugly:

Sausage fingers

• After watching that final episode of my favorite TV show "The X-Files", I went for my usual neighborhood walk, and managed to trip on an uneven sidewalk flag.  My foot bounced back, and I fell face first.  My right knee, both palms, several fingers, and a spot on my chin have scrapes, and my left hand is swollen and parts are turning purple!  The Hubby is a most attentive helpmate; the bags of frozen produce keep coming, to ice my hand.  I will see a physician if the pain or swelling do not improve.  The Hubby fed all cats, and scooped the litter boxes too.  Manny and Chili Bruce are helping too, by sitting on the laptop as I type.  Angel will purr for me as I rest in bed.  Yep, it's ugly!

Chuck's Diary Entry: March 14, 2017

Dear Diary,

Yesterday, there was lots of noise and commotion in the backyard, so I hid from it all.  Guess these humans were cutting down the tree that fell on the power lines, then some other humans fixed the wires so heat could once again pour forth from the vents.  The human called The Hubby spent time plugging in things that had been unplugged, and taking jars and cans that he'd stored in coolers and on window ledges, and putting them back in the big cabinet called a refrigerator.

The results of cutting down the tree

Why would they leave that?

Glad they took out that fence, rather than
damaging our barn!

Am thinking the tree folks will come
back to work on these other trees

The Human called The Mom was so excited, that she was late getting home (and feeding us!), in order to pick up a carry-out dinner (Falafel sandwiches, with a bowl of garlic sauce) for their dinner. The Big Blow of March, 2017 goes down in the history books, at least for Eastside Cats.  Unfortunately, The Mom's big brother lives with his kitties in a place called Ann Arbor, and he is still without power. Here's hoping his kitties get their heat vents back soon!

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly that resulted from The Big Blow of March, 2017:

The Good:

• The Hubby's thoughtful projects that kept us from shivering our fur off
• The Human's enjoyed hours of conversation, and made plans for some cool stuff to do in the yard
• The Mom learned to sleep without a fan or air-cleaner running

The Bad:

• Five days without power takes a toll on humans; they didn't mimic how us kitties just rolled with it
• The Hubby missed some important basketball games
• Cold toilet seats make humans grumpy

The Ugly:

• The Human's heated mattress pad is dead.  Something about surges or brown-outs...I am a cat, and I don't really care what the reason is.  
• I haven't yet scored any kibble, and that's a downright shame!

RIP heated mattress pad controls!
You did your job well; rest easy now in mattress pad heaven
