Back Home/Mom Report
We made it through the long wait this afternoon. Harlee and Mimi were somewhat philosophical and settled down in the carriers, although Harlee meowed periodically. Zara was growling (poor baby). I read most of a book. Finally, I went back and aired out the place, and took the girls home.
I had told the guy who was to turn the gas back on that I had problems getting one of my cats in the carrier, and asked him to come at 8 PM instead of 7:30. He came at 20 to 8 (sigh). I didn't get a chance to clean up after the bug carnage yet, but he didn't seem to care. He got the stove pilot lights lit okay, but had problems getting the hot water heater to light. He finally figured out that he forgot to turn the gas on for the water heater. He got it lit, and everything is working fine.
I cleaned up, and ate a hot dog to tide me over while I talked to Mom.
Mom sounds really good. She's really looking forward to seeing me at the end of July. She's wondering if she should come to Chicago and visit my aunt. I asked her if she was up for it, and she said that she hasn't said anything about coming to Chicago to anyone except me at this point.
My aunt had a rough time after she first got out of the hospital. She had a bad urinary tract infection. She's feeling better now, and her friends are coming by and keeping her company. My uncle is still in the hospital.
After I talked to Mom, I made some delicious tortellini, and I have leftovers, which I froze.
Zara and Harlee have been zonked out (not surprised). Mimi is waiting for me to go to bed, which will be soon because I'm exhausted.
