Home alone

As I write this I wonder what Arwen and Smokey are up to. They are home alone for a few days. I have somebody checking in on them at least once while I am gone. They seemed to know that something was different on Sunday as I was packing to leave. Both of the cats followed me around the house they seemed to want to be where I was.
I am going to be on a aggressive travel schedule for the next few months so I have to spend plenty of quality time with them between trips. We will all have to adapt and adjust to this unexpected work travel schedule that came about. I made it a point to give them some quality time before I left this morning. I know that I will miss them.

Thump in the night

I woke to a loud crash last night when I got up to investigate the nose I found one of my bookcases on the floor of the living room. I am again assuming who the culprit is...Smokey because even though she barely fits behind the bookcase she goes behind it to sleep sometimes. If not that then I am assuming that she was involved in some big time climbing. There was some minor damage mainly a couple of beer steins that have now met their maker.

It is needless to say that some of my plans for my vacation day occurred as I spent time putting the room back to order. While I was at it I did a thorough cleaning of the room. Even the cleaning was disrupted because I had to take time to fix the vacuum that decided that today was a good to break a belt! I guess that I have to get back to work to get some rest.
