Festival Deprivation

Free evenings! What to do with them?

After three weeks of non-stop festivals, I’m ready for the downtime. The problem is that the days seem to last forever when I don’t have to leave the house.

I did leave yesterday after work, to retrieve Pekoe from Alex’s house. Alex and Justin are heading for Florida today to see Alex’s college roommate, Rachel, so Pekoe is here until next Thursday or Friday.

Neither cat is very happy about it. Pekoe, when I pick her up, wraps her paws around my neck and mews plaintively. When I put her down, even if Nico is nowhere around, she hisses and growls.

So far, neither has killed the other, so I think we’ll get through this. Pekoe will go back with Justin and Alex next week, but in late July, she’ll come back here for a year. The theatre housing that Alex will be moving into doesn’t allow pets. The theatre has agreed to provide a “real” apartment for her after that, so eventually Pekoe will go back to being spoiled.

I found another old high school classmate on Facebook yesterday, and it was fun to catch up. He was a buddy back then, and we went to our senior prom together (since his girlfriend went with someone else). He’ll be at the reunion next month. He told me that he was printing banners and signs for the reunion, since he happened to have a 54-inch printer in his living room. Who do you know that has something like that at home?

You look darling over here too. And yup, you just have to get away from work and out of the house. :)
