I can hardly believe it myself, but I've got a full week off of work, and I'm gonna enjoy it too. Of course I managed to book a couple of long over due tasks into this week off - I just can't seem to "do nothing" - but generally speaking I'll only be doing what I feel like, which could be everything, or nothing at all. It's even more incredible that I'll be doing it again at the end of September. Rinse, repeat!
Yesterday was a looong day. I got up at 4AM, went to work till 12h30 when a colleague took over - thanks once again O. - and left there around 12h45. The next hour and ten minutes was spent in the car in a traffic jam which lead to me arriving at my next appointment with under 5 minutes to spare, but I made it in time. Once I was out of that meeting, I left for B. and H. where I arrived around five thirty (more traffic jams) and then we headed off with the complete group to celebrate my grandma's birthday. When I finally turned onto the driveway leading towards my home, the clock in the car was displaying a time well past eleven PM. I headed straight to bed, and slept like a baby till noon today.
Which leads me to the stunt that Tai pulled off during my long and busy day, followed by a night spent sleeping. When I left home yesterday, I had filled his bowl of water to the brim. I know he likes to drink and play with water, so I fill it up well enough so there's definitely water left to drink when he's done playing. No matter what, I can't get it into his head that water is to drink from, and not to play in. So far all attempts have proved to be water under the couch.
Back to the look on my face when I stepped into my living room half an hour ago : With eyes still slightly closed I greeted him, opened the door to the terrace so he could get a fresh nose and greet the outside world when something struck me. "What the hell was laying into his waterbowl?" I took a few steps back, opened my eyes and burst out into laughter. He had managed to steal a napkin from the kitchen counter - where he knows he is not allowed - and to drag it into his water bowl. Mind you, it wasn't torn apart, but still neatly folded as it had been on the kitchen counter, and draped over the edge of his bowl in such a way that it had sucked out most of the water in the bowl and released it on the outside of it, also known as... my floor.
I've got a scientific cat, who'd have guessed?
