Just finished putting a new notch in Tom's belt so it won't hang loosely in front of his pants. (He lost 50 pounds.) Found the blood pressure machine behind the little chest of drawers in the bathroom cubby. Pain in the a----- to get out, but also found a spray thingy of "Perm Fresh" -- uh, I haven't had a perm for well over five years. (And found a huge bag of cotton balls.)

Edmund! Creamsicle wasn't in the wild blue yonder -- she was locked in the damp dark cellar for 10 days. Banjo and Creamsicle are not the brightest of cats. She didn't look emaciated (or act hungry enough to brave the food dish while "Giants" were in view) so she must have caught some small woodland creatures while she was down there. And there are probably still some puddles left from the spring torrent that comes through the north side of the foundation and leaves via the door on the downhill side of the house so she had something to drink (or at least lick).
