Tuesday 2/20, I got home late from working and was so incredibly relieved to find my home in one piece, having left Jacques free to roam around the entire house, minus Kassie’s room. I fixed him a yummy dinner complete with some of Grandma’s pot pie and hair ball gel, yum! I sat on the couch for most the night watching tv and encouraging J not to jump up on the couch and scratch on the corner. I tried to let him roam the house for bed time but he jumped up on the bed, and though I’ve been removing him each time, I just left him because I was so tired, but soon he was out making noise and meowing so I shut him out of my room. This didn’t work and he just sat at the door meowing louder so I finally got up and put him in the bathroom where I can’t hear him. I got plenty of sleep after that.
Monday 2/19, I got up semi-early again because K and S were up and getting ready to leave so I let J out and kept him corralled in my room away from Rosco. They took off and I vacuumed and let J roam around and played with his new cat nip frog and egg plant from Auntie Kassie. I showered and got ready then I went down the lake for a few hours and left J outside the bathroom to test how he would do without me there, and thankfully he did just fine and I didn’t find anything bad when I returned. I watched a little tv and talked to Susan then set out to get J a scratching post, but, of course, ended up buying much more than that. I hit the grocery store after that and chatted with Dustin then went home and watched Brokeback Mountain and talked to Chrystol and Mom while Jacques slept in his new bed. I cried at the end, of course, then made some dinner as J tried my patience. I watched I Love NY and brushed Jacques in the final minutes of the show and I still can’t believe how much he loves it. I tried to have him not in the bathroom for the night but after jumping up on my bed about 25 times and me taking him down and putting him on his own bed, I decided I didn’t want to be up all night removing him and / or sharing my bed with him so I put him back in the bathroom and decided to try again the next night. Hopefully it will just be a matter of him getting used to my ironclad regime policies.
Sunday 2/18, I woke up early because K and S were up and I started puttering around the house and prepped to get ready to go to Kay-See’s for our Sunday morning breakfast event. I got there right at 10 and Kay-See finished getting ready and we took off for Ballard. I got dropped off to put our name in and the guy told me less time than the guy in front of me, mwah ha ha, he must have remembered me from last week. We weren’t seated in Michael’s section but that was ok because we got an equally cute waiter, Zack, to get us all hot and bothered. I got a hug from Michael and we were in a prime spot to chat with him as he passed by to the kitchen as well as keep my eye on the toast boy who was a little thuggish but very cute. I asked Zack which rumble he recommended so I went with the Ballard Market but I still want to try the other one and, like, everything else on the menu. We decided to do girls brunch every weekend so we’ll see how many of the items we can tick off our HL checklist. We went back to Kay-See’s so I could look up the address of an open house I wanted to see and we walked over. On the way we stopped in Retrofit and perused the cool furniture and cute rugs then saw the loft-y 2 story condo and both really liked it. Plus the cookies helped. We walked back and decided to go to Target and I ended up spending too much money on stuff I didn’t need, but oh well. When we got back I drove home to let Jacques out of the bathroom and whip up the zucchini and tomato quiche for the night’s dinner. Jacques was misbehaving a bit, I’m guessing because I wasn’t paying attention to him, but since I rule with an iron fist I told Jacques there had been a regime change and put him in the bathroom for a time out. I finished the dish then sat down to watch some tv and brush J, which he absolutely loved. Pretty soon it was time to put him back in the bathroom and head off to Mom’s for dinner. Kassie surprised everyone (except me) for dinner and luckily Mom made extra and we had a rousing round of Best and Worst. Mom made brownies for dessert and we sat around talking about the new pets and such then I took off to go to Kay-See’s for a movie. We went into the common room and started trying to hook up the tv and I eventually called Dad who helped us through it and started watching Snatch and eating Australian candy. Kay-See really liked it then sent me home with some chocolate treats. I got J out of the bathroom and played with him a little before putting him back in there around 12:30 for bed. Kassie and Skylar came home and she showed me the new toys for J and went to bed.
Saturday 2/17, I talked to Susan first thing in the morning and told her to come over and meet Jacques. I was doing some serious cleaning of the downstairs, talked to Dad about the new cat and finished up right when she called to say she was coming over. I hopped in the shower and finished right when she showed up. The camera came out right away and Jacques sassed it up for Susan. After a petting session we decided to hit the pet store in Issaquah and I ended up dropping $130 on toys and supplies and Auntie Susan bought him a semi-red star with a bell to attach to his collar so he can advertise his new communist affiliation. All his new toys are hot pink too to satisfy his gay / French lifestyle. We went next door to the smoothie place and each got a tasty treat, though I liked Susan’s blueberry one better than my peach. When we got back I brushed him then wiped him down with a little moist pet-nap and we saddled him up with his new sassy red harness, or walking jacket. He didn’t really like it, but he didn’t fall over so I don’t think he hated it. We took him outside to the back patio so he could explore a little but he ran back inside so I had to bring him back out again so he could get used to it. We played inside for a little while longer and chatted in the living room until Susan decided to leave to take a nap. I watched Closer and fell asleep and Jacques did too on his pillow in the window. I stayed in for the rest of the night watching tv and playing with the cat then Kassie and Skylar showed up around 1:00 so I talked with them for a while then went to bed.
