I did have company this evening. A neighbor joined me on the back step. It's a small black cat which the children befriended when last they were the weekend before last. They fed her some of my ham on a good saucer. I'd rather they hadn't used the people-plates, but they are cat nuts. Not that I blame them, of course, for that. I had a couple of cats, as a boy. It looks like I may end up with one again, if I'm not careful. The cat has taken to hanging around here. It doesn't have a collar of any kind. Heh, it's a friendly critter, but somewhat reserved and cautious. I sat on the step and pulled some cat magic on it. Heh heh. The STBX and I are the kind of people who know how to get a cat's attention and intrigue it into coming over and checking us out. This one gave me a friendly nudge and made an orbit of me and then proceded to finish circumnavigating the yard. I wonder if it belongs to anybody.
My eye allergy is flaring up again. Something must be blooming pretty hard. Both of them are itchy and no doubt red. I've been having attacks for the past couple of days. When it gets bad, my eyeballs swell and get gross and red and yucky and the eyelids swell shut. Fortunately, it doesn't usually get that bad. I think I'm going to try to turn in now. Er...oops, Y!M message for me. Maybe I shall indulge my insomnia a little longer...
