Hello

Yesterday I received a message on the machine from my brother-in-law after coming in with the cats, I forgot I said I would babysit. Must have gotten distracted before reaching the calendar to write it down when she called last week. So called my brother-in-law apologizing and hopped right over. On the way there was an accident and I stopped right in the center of an intersection and then the light turned red. I tried to move ahead as much as I could so the cross traffic could move on their green light. I had brownie and ice cream in a bowl with a can of pop when I heard the message so took them with me along with the laundry (Yes single people have less nutritional lunches such as brownie and ice cream with a can of soda pop). A neighbor girl was watching my niece until I got there. My sister's cat helped drink up the melted ice cream in the bowl. Let the niece watch movies (I am an evil aunt who lets her niece watch TV instead of forcing her to play with her toys).and later went outside to hit her plastic ball on a tee after we got tired of swinging. I gave my niece an underdog and she freaked it was too fast. She said she can jump out her swing like me, but stopped the swing and ran (not exactly jumping). My niece swung at her teed ball left handed and actually hit the ball. I hit right handed, but switched to left when my arm got tired (yes I can switch hit since high school). Sister went to her doctor's appointment after getting home and I left when she came home. She was displeased at the mess on the living room floor and insisted niece pick up. Niece screamed her head off like any child ordered to do chores.

Went to the grocery store and forgot my wallet at home. Rushed home to confuse the cats that I left again. Came back with the groceries. I played with the camera part of my new cell phone. No flash but the light was provided by the camera focus. Today the cats were more exploratory. Precious has been losing weight so he is more active and his butt fits the cubby hole of the cat tower now. Frodo has lost weighed too, but getting more agressive on eating his share before Precious eats both food dishes. Precious had to inspect every porch and physically held him back from a porch where I know there is a dog. Bad, bad cat. Precious went upstairs as I tried to pick him up. Tried to brush Precious and Frodo felt left out of the attention, but didn't like the comb. Then Frodo started rough housing so had to stop. Nothing else to report. Post later.
