What a pensive looking baby! He should be named “Specs.”

Good morning. I hope you had a good night.

Chip and I had a strange night. He ate something and used the litter box or vice-versa, and was in his Artistic Mood again, so it took a while. I came out and don’t know where he scattered to, but I listened to a couple of uplifting talks when I heard him in the box again.

I had put locks on the cupboard doors, “just-in-case,” and took advantage of the fact that he had vacated the cupboards. I closed them, stuck the other ends of the locks on the cupboards and caused no trauma to Chip. THAT was what I most feared. How would I get him out without traumatizing him again?

So I went back to sleep. I have a small rug in front of the sink, and it looks as though he tried during the night to get in the cupboards again. It’s such a relief to know he won’t hurt himself on the chemicals or the trash!

As soon as I can get some curtains up in the bedroom and hall closets, he’ll have two more hidey-holes. Maybe the Catholic thrift store a couple of blocks away has them. I want to do all I can to make him feel at home but still keep him safe.

The wind has finally died down, but the temp is down to 44° and will only be up to 57° today. After a week of creeping heat, the temp takes a drastic plunge.

Good morning. I had disagreeable dreams involving, among other things, forgetting to take children to golf lessons and driving a sports car down a ramp into a fancy dinner club.

I’m glad the cabinets are secured. Chip will find a new lurking spot.

It’s cold here, too, but it’s supposed to be in the 60s later, which will be nice for a Palm Sunday procession.

Josie’s and Sally’s birthdays are this week. I ordered them flower arrangements from a florist in their neighborhood. I was going to order something for Elen, whose birthday is the following week, but the website said the address didn’t exist. Turns out I had a letter wrong. Gah. Also, she doesn’t check her mail very often.

Said I had Bill’s address wrong, too, so I texted him to clear it up.
