I know this sounds terrible, but today Limpit goes to France for a weekend away with the school, and I'm contemplating a weekend of being alone in the house without having to worry about whether she is doing her homework or about to ring the doorbell or if she's secretly watching vampire porn anime (don't laugh, I bet there's a site out there somewhere!) on the computer... Manitas is working most of the weekend and I'm only busy on Sunday, so it's shaping up to be a blissful weekend, truly alone in the house with no responsibilities for the first time in a month. Bliss.

The only cloud in the ointment is the hole (and lingering smell) left by my dearest companion of the last 18 years... Last night I called out for Shadow to come and get some scraps and she wasn't there...
