Happy Labor Day

I took Precious outside today, after 5 minutes of fighting the harness. The bird feeder lady came home with one of her sons. Precious was no where near her bird feeder or her porch so she didn't bite my face off as usual. When her son came out, he told I have big cat to ask his weight, then asked if I was serious when I said his name is Precious. Precious came up to him and he asked if he will bite him. No, Precious doesn't bite (he scratches). He petted Precious. Precious continued to sniff around and plopped himself by the bird feeder. Bird feeder lady comes out and I tell Precious it is time to go home. She invites me to sit with her and chat since my cats love her yard so much. That was a first after having the cats for two years. She didn't pet Precious when he came up to her. It was an awkward conversation with Precious yanking the leash to chase a bird, then chilled on the grass. She told me her name, talked about her husband, her 4 sons and 1 daughter, she's deaf in one ear, once took in a stray cat because her kids loved it so much but it was struck by lightening a year later, and asked where my other cat was. She said something about a dog, but didn't catch the full sentence. I let her talk and said very little. Then I grabbed Precious saying it was nice to talk to her but we have to go inside. Precious fought me, took a nap once we got home, and then meowed like crazy hours later to go out again, sorry not until tomorrow.

Went grocery shopping and watched TV. Got a call from the manager that I can take my birthday off, it is Thursday. Last night, the car rental guy next door announced a very strange phone call. The girlfriend of a renter called to ask to the total of the rental since it was impounded by police and wanted to close out the contract. Um, they do not close contracts until the car is back in the company's possession (same for us) and the police have not called them, nor returned the car so he must speak the renter boyfriend about his billing. He's in jail so he can't speak to him (hence why the car was impounded). He said he will leave a note for the manager on this. So he calls the police to ask where their car was located. It was impounded for drugs four days ago (big surprise)and the driver and 2 others were arrested. When they are done with the car, they will return it. He said cars from the police are always cleaner than the car washers doing them.

Well, Happy Labor Day.
