Yesterday was a lot of fun but I never realized just how many dishes I got dirty and how much washing I had to do, even just for me. Ah well. So, where to start? As is necessary for any holiday meal, the cook-in-charge must be blooded before full preparations can begin, and so it was. Oh well, it didn't put things off schedule and after a nice meal, it was nap time. [g]

The wind picked up just after noon and [big surprise] I lost my internet connection and didn't get it back until just now. It did help my writing though.

But things didn't get interesting until 7:30, when I discovered that Baby had managed to get the adjustable part of her collar in her mouth somehow, and that part included the 'snap' portion. I tried to check it further but the claws flashed out when I did, so the next thing I did was to call S and asked if he had anything to cut through a thin nylon collar. One good thing about guys who work construction is that they have all sorts of interesting stuff that can cut through stuff, so he brought one of his odd work pliers/clippers over and two clicks later, goodbye nylon collar. Baby was not too thrilled by this; she grew from normal cat size to lynx size within moments, complete with claw expansion. But she settled down instantly once the collar was off, and all is now well and good with her again. I should add that Lucky and Fatters, who are indoor-only kittehs, do not wear collars (except for rare photo ops) but Baby, being an indoor-outdoor kitteh, *did* wear one so that she would not be mistaken for a stray.

So that was my T-Day. Now I am off to catch up with my f-list again. :)

I am just now watching LotR on tv. The Fellowship is about to enter Moria, and all I can think of is how 'Sweetie' is about too make an appearance. XD

In other news, lunch is cooking -- more or less on time. Yay foods! The furkids wholly approve.
