Ahhhhh..........
Slowly my house is coming back together. The 3rd load of laundry is washing. The dishes are cleaned and put away. The futon is ready to be folded up (I don't have the strength to fold it up myself). The bathroom is cleaned and the litterboxes returned to the cat bathroom. The trash was collected and taken out. The floors are swept. I still need to vacuum, but that's low on the list right now. I also need a shower. Luckily that is higher on the list than vacuuming.
It feels good to be home. Home in a (mostly) tidy home. It always amazes me how my mental space feels cleaner and more.... optimal when my physical space is also clean.
I've also started to dig out my fall and Halloween decorations. Which is always fun. I love Halloween. I'd really like a new costume this year, but I'm not sure that I have the time to make a new one. I don't really want to be a wench again this year (and I've been a Riley-Cat twice).
In other news, Freesia had a bit of an adventure last night. It seems that she knocked the screen off the window in the spare bedroom and went for a bit of a wander. She came and knocked on my bedroom window around 11 last night, but I thought she was the neighborhood Tom, who's markings are very similar to hers. I discovered the missing screen this morning and immediately went outside, calling for her. Luckily I found her in the parking lot. She sat by the tree outside my window and just waited for me to pick her up. Her paws are all gray and dirty now. But other than that she seems to be unhurt. Swine cat.
