backwards

sometimes it's extremely frustrating trying to put two and two together. it makes my brain hurt. literary.

i was trying to do some housekeeping this evening. the kitties were out on the balcony while i was vacuuming and mopping. at one point i noticed i hadn't seen pekoe for a while. an hour passed and i still hadn't come across him any place. sometimes that happens so i didn't think a lot of it, although it's a little disconcerting but he always turns up. when i noticed their food bowels where empty i thought "when i fill these pekoe will come out of his hiding spot". but honey only showed up. that's when i became slightly alarmed. by this time it was about 10:30. i went out on the balcony and looked into the darkness and said "koe-koe?", then heard a little "meow" response from below in my neighbour's driveway. i dashed to the back of my house and down the stairs to get him. i'm SO thankful that he'd stayed in the driveway. i have NO idea how long he'd been down there, it was definitely longer than an hour. i'll always wonder how he got down there, he doesn't seem hurt. it's probably a 12 ft drop. i don't know if it was an accident – if he fell or if he jumped. i hope it doesn't happen again, i've been worried that could happen, but thought it was unlikely. i guess i was wrong.

this afternoon was joanna's wedding shower. it was pretty fun. we played some games and all worked together on a scrapbook for her, which was a neat idea. i gave her a bombardier postcard. i thought it represented me pretty well since it covers TWO of my obsessions – trains and postcards :) i won a crocheted bumblebee potholder for having the most stuff in my bag. last time i played that game (at melody's shower) i totally lost. i think it depends on the crowd. no other party would've had "knitting/crafty supplies" listed. score.

i felt really beautiful this afternoon down in market square. i don't know why, i just did and it felt great.

are you hoping for a miracle?
