Being away from home for a week, it turns out, means that the a good portion of the food in one's refrigerator will be well past its date when one returns. I spent a good portion of this afternoon replenishing my pantry. The result is that I am now prepared for the coming week, always a good feeling. While I was out today, I was reminded of my desire for a pet when I found a small, furry creature in a box outside of Potts Tower upon my return. It's very small, and a brindle colour, and it purrs madly.
I believe I'm already a little bit in love with it, although I have yet to come up with a name. Any suggestions would be quite, quite welcome.
