Harlee Is Top Cat

Harlee got out of her room again when I came home for dinner. I think that I've stymied her. But I was talking to a friend at work, and she said that Harlee needed to check the new place that she's living out, and then she'll settle down. So I let her out when I came home. She ran around complaining for a while, and I told her that the neighbors didn't really want to hear what she had to say, but then she settled down. When I fed the girls, Harlee nosed Mimi aside and started to eat Mimi's food, and Mimi let her. Did Mimi get a total personality transplant while she was being boarded at the vet? I convinced Harlee to go back in her room and eat her own food. She's being quiet, so the jaunt around the house helped.

I went outside for a moment, and found Mimi eating Zara's food when I came back in, so maybe not a total personality transplant :)

Zara's having a great time climbing the kitchen shelves. I knew that she would. She's easy to satisfy.

I'm still tired. I'm working tomorrow to make up some time, although someone is coming here in the afternoon to read the water meter to transfer the water bill over to me. I'm going into work afterward.

I had planned to work Saturday too, but I think that it's more important to get my stuff out of the old place.

I've been buying comfort food. WalMart had some raspberry kolacky, which I bought, and it's very good. It makes me think of my late cat, Nima, who loved raspberry kolacky. Silly kitty :)

Meds

Oh, and I went looking for the card for my new health insurance (we changed providers), but it's in limbo being forwarded from the old place to the new place. Meanwhile, I really need to fill a prescription, and I can't afford the cost without insurance. I asked HR if there's a way to find out my member ID without the card. I hope so.

Like Herding Cats

I woke up around 7 or 8, and made a grave tactical error: I got up and used the washroom. Harlee heard me, and popped out of her room and came into mine, meowing. I put her back in her room. She came back into mine, meowing. I love her dearly, but I was getting pissed at her. I put her back in her room. This time, she stayed there and let me sleep. I woke up to the alarm, and needed the sleep because I had puffy dark circles under my eyes.

As soon as Harlee heard me get up, she popped back out of her room. The only way that I can see her be able to get out was still blocked, so I've come to the conclusion that she's made of Silly Putty. I let her run around while I ate breakfast. She eventually got tired and went back in her room, but she ran out when I came to feed her. Mimi ran in. So I spent some time convincing Harlee to come in and Mimi to come out. Sigh. Harlee must be tired because she's staying quietly in her room now.

I'm waiting for the water guy to come read the meter or do whatever he has to do. I hope that he comes soon because I need to get to work. I guess that I can work on my work e-mail in the meantime.

TGIF

I stayed home this afternoon, waiting for the water guy. He finally called at 2, saying that he read the meter and the water appeared to be on (it is), so we didn't need to meet. So why did the water company say that I needed to be home to meet him then? Grrr. But I got into work only an hour late.

Got my temp insurance card and my meds. I'm paying less than I used to, which is nice. I'm just glad to have the meds because I skipped a few days, which you're not supposed to do. OTOH, the meds will make me feel more tired. Can't be helped.

I endured work. I'm too freaking tired.

I'm going to close the door of Miss Fussbudget's room tonight so that she won't wake me up early, although she's being kind of subdued tonight. Zara and Mimi will let me sleep.

Speaking of Zara, she discovered a basket on top of a cabinet, and it's her new spot to nap. Very cute. Zara's having the time of her life. Mimi seems pretty happy too. (She gets to sleep with Mommy.) It's just Harlee who's having issues.
