Due to certain circumstances, I have gone from a near-empty nester to having my cat population increase from one to four, and my child at home population increase from one to three. Maybe four. Depends on how you count. And my at-home slide puzzle parking arrangement using what I thought was going to be three tiles (cars) has changed to five daily, with occasional six and seven. And eight if my oldest daughter is in town because of school. Neighbors think I'm running a car lot out of my home. I'm thinking of putting up a sign.
I don't get it.
I just go to work, come home, and the yard, driveway and garage - not that I can use it - are covered with miscellaneous vehicles. I think I'm going to start parking my car at the office and walking home.
On the cats, I don't know what happened. We had one. My daughter found one at the CVS parking lot and rescued it. At least, that's her story. I have other ideas, but questioning it is deemed sacrilege, so I take the easy way out and just accept it. Along with the other two cats my son brought home from his apartment. The one he had. The one he *used* to have before moving back home.
Fortunately, the four cats only eat three different types of food, so you know that's easy for me to remember. Not.
My wife got irritated at me when I used a label printer to print cat names on bowls to keep it straight. Apparently the bowls were temporary. But in my house, I don't know what that word means. I think it is different for the rest of my family than how I understand it.
Two of the four cats like to play, and two are old and don't want to be bothered. One hisses and bites everybody. She's the sweet one.
Basically, sounds a lot like my family.
Tomorrow is a new day. Probably another car on the driveway. Or in the yard. Half of them have to go there anyway.
