It rained nearly all day--not hard, but pretty consistenly. Meanwhile, I got up early and started work in my new office, testing the printers, paying bills, preparing the Xmas lists for next year, and filing all the miscellaneous pieces of paper that landed up there. I'm still waiting for the 4-drawer lateral file that is, I hope, being trucked from Florida as I speak. But it all looks good. I worked from 5:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., then came in and started a fire in the fireplace, had soup for lunch, and took a little nap.
In the afternoon, I worked on the scarf I'm knitting while watching a little TV, clearing out some of the programs that have accumulated on the DVR. When I recovered from the morning, I went back up to the craft room and started in on unpacking a multitude of plastic boxes filled with yarn. I organized the yarn and started putting it all in the bookcase we bought from IKEA for this purpose. I got it down to 4 large plastic boxes when I realized I had reached my limitations. So, at 4:30 p.m., I went back to the house and fed the dog and the cats.
We bought a "Have-a-Heart" trap to capture Little Bug, our walk-on kitten and integrate him or her into the cat house. All the cats are in the cat house except Little Bug and Ivan. I think they are keeping company. They hide in the bushes on the hill above the back yard. Little Bug is super fast. We may have to rethink the kitten's name once we capture him/her. Unfortunately, I was unable to set up the trap and no one who was supposed to be here today showed up. No Toby, no Vivian, no Jorge, no Eugenio, no Homero--the last two were probably here but I didn't see them. So, no help.
Luckily Dennis is off skiing, so there's extra time to do all this. On the other hand, if he was here he could have set up the trap.
