Back Home

Well, Mike and I are back from his business trip to Pierre. I had a good time there. I really didn't do much, but it was nice to just spend some time relaxing and hanging out. I'm not terribly impressed with the quality of the Chinese food in Pierre, but other than that, it was a cute little town.

It was so great to pick up Catpernicus last night. I think she has grown! She seemed a little angry with Mike and I when we first got her home, but she seems to have forgiven us. I slept on the couch for an hour or so last night, and she snuggled up on my chest. Well, snuggled up may not be quite the right way to describe it, it was more like she walked around on my chest for a while, and then she groomed herself while I tried to sleep. She is the noisiest cat when she is licking herself! Meh. It was a strong motivator to try sleeping in the bed again. But now she is sleeping next to me on the couch, and looks so peaceful!

Okay, I suppose I should try to get some stuff done. I'm very proud of myself, I walked to all three of the errands I needed to run this morning. But since I wore my Chacos for the first time this season, I have a couple of places where they rub me wrong every spring. I'll get those callouses started nice and early this year! I wonder how strong my Chaco lines will be this year. And if they will be more dirt or sun.
