I hope your day is better than mine.
I get awoken just before 10:00 by the carpet cleaners because the damn bitches in the manager's office never called me to say when they were coming so I could be ready (I prefer not to be in the shower when people knock) so the guy offers to come back tomorrow. No, I just need a minute to pick things up. He needs a minute to get the machine ready. Open the balcony door so the cats are safe from the noise and escaping. Pick up living room, bedroom, and closet. Get my socks wet, cause I'm in my pj's and bed socks, walking to a chair in the dining room. Guy finishes saying he couldn't get all the cat hair so I might want to go over it with a vaccuum to get all the cat hair. I grab the cat hair off the carpet with my hands. He also said not to place the wood and metal furniture back for 2-3 hours because the wood stains and metal rusts in contact with the shampoo. I watch Malcolm in the Middle episode and walk on carpet to change into slippers and sweatpants. I have to get these sopping wet socks off.
Do litterbox and food/water. Change clothes. Take cats outside. We go over to the playground. 40 minutes later it is time to go home. Where's Frodo? I cry his name for 15 minutes trying to find this cat. I heard one meow near the playground but couldn't find him. Precious keeps running back across the street, I presume cause Frodo likes to hide in the bushes across the playground or maybe just chasing birds. I check the woods behind the playground. Last I saw Frodo he was behind the garage so I check there and stomp through the thorns and brush. Frodo! Behind the neighbors' fence trapped. How did he get over there? He must have climb a tree and jumped over but couldn't get back. The fence is chest high so I can't bend over and grab him. My sneakers won't fit in the fence holes. He got frightened when I managed to toss a branch over so he can climb up, so put branch back. There was a tree, but then I thought "How am I going to jump back over"? I found a gate latch but there were so many boards against it that I couldn't open it. So I'm looking around for something to help Frodo get over the fence. I finally had to go back home and get the cat tower and Frodo wants to smell the flowers. I call and call him to come, but hides under the porch. I climbed a tree ripping my sweatpants when they got caught on the fence and stuck for a minute not able to get down, and then had to chase Frodo around the neighbors' yard with him hiding and hissing at me. If he was mad at me, I was pissed off with ripped pants. He climbed a tree near the fence and stopped. I grabbed him scratching and yowling. I pried him off my shirt and dropped him over the fence. Stepped over on cat tower and climb down tree. It took me a hour to get the cats back inside. Then they follow me to the door, but Frodo is still not ready to come in. After chasing him down, I carried him back in. I check the damage in the mirror of my pants. I have cuts on my skin.
I changed clothes and went to exercise at the new exercise room. I did the treadmill and bicycle. Then I lifted the tiny weighs and got out my jump rope. I was there about 40 minutes. The equipment make you do a 5 minute cool down. Now I am watching Dr. Phil about violent teenagers in a family and parents saying "That's the only way I can control them!" Yeah, try controlling my cats. Post later. Bye!
