Day 14 - Leftovers and a Radiocat

Good thing there was plenty of Torta left over from last night since I only had the energy to ask Randy to nuke some of it for dinner tonight. I had to drive to San Mateo and back today to bring Maizie Jane Valentine home from Radiocat where she was treated for hyperthyroidism. A total of nearly 8 hours of driving. I had contemplated going to Chez Panisse in Berkeley for lunch (again) before heading to San Mateo, but with the Bay Bridge closed I decided it wasn't feasible. Judging from the back-up of vehicles waiting to cross the San Mateo Bridge that I just barely avoided coming and going, it was the right decision.

My big thrill for the day was a stop at the Gilroy Outlets for underwear. I did find a snuggly bathrobe, too. That was a good thing. I didn't have one. Can't run around in the house in the nude all the time.... Otherwise, I just drove straight up there and, with Maizie in tow, straight back. Lunch was a bag of Chex Mix and a bag of honey roasted peanuts that I picked up when I stopped for gas. What a come-down!

I'm delighted to have Maizie home again. She's a good cat, a lively cat, who's quite engaged with the other cats and with her people. Amazingly, she knew exactly when we got to the freeway exit that leads to home. She stood straight up and meowed all the way from that point to home.

And, of course, I'm hauling some more of my stuff up the stairs to my studio. I'm so looking forward to getting back to my work up there once everything is unpacked and put away.
