i can’t sleep. maybe it’s the large iced tea i had at dinner.
perhaps it’s the upcoming wedding.
i just keep thinking about things.
actually, i got up because i suddenly can’t find this gift certificate to the Gateway to India Restaurant which i want to go to right when i get back.
i don’t know where it is. my dad gave it to me for my birthday. it’s here somewhere, but there are so very many pieces of paper all around that it seems slightly hopeless.
also, of course, A STUPID THING TO BE WORRYING ABOUT RIGHT NOW.
but it was actually a good thing because i went in the kitchn and winnie was in there and he jumped up on the chair next to the counter and then he climbed right onto the counter and started SNIFFING THE CAKE.
because it’s there on the middle of the counter, out of mollie’s reach.
WHY was winnie on the counter? did he want to take a bite of the cake? was he about to start playing in the frosting?
so i made a barricade around it. i got cereal boxes and wine bottles and a couple of boxes and made a nice shield all around the perimeter of the cake. i also moved the chairs around the counter to the middle of the room and i don’t think the cats can get up on the counter if the chairs aren’t there.
hopefully things will be fine tonight.
now, where’s that gift certificate?
