My truck is loaded with culch from my classroom. You see, I was using my own TV, DVD player, VCR, A/V cart, bookshelf, fiction and non-fiction books, desk, and sundry other items. Now that I have moved out the room looks rather empty. We all have to report to work on Tuesday to hand in our grades and check out. Then we get our last paycheck. I'm starting to feel happy that it's over.

All day long my co-workers have been coming up to me to commiserate. They say they will miss me and wonder why the school would be crazy enough to let me go. C'est la vie!

Tonight Wakana and I headed for Carmen's, a Mexican restaurant in Hagatna. At the light in Chalan Pago we saw a little kitten in the road. We looked at each other then I opened my door (Wakana was driving) and scooped the poor little thing up and out of danger. We made a quick stop at Hoa Mai for take out. While we waited I stepped into the convenience store and bought a can of catfood.

The little thing is so skinny. When I opened the can she practically inhaled the food. I let her eat a little then took it away from her. We came home and put her in the cat carrier. We gave her some more food and some water and a nice towel to sleep on.

She's not a pretty cat. Her face is too pointed and she's thin as a rail. She's white with enormous orange ears and an orange patch on her shoulders. Her voice sounds like a rusty hinge but she has a loud purr. We're calling her Mimi-chan. Mimi is Japanese for ears.

Tomorrow we'll take her to the vet for a check up and we'll list her on the radio's Pet Patrol program.

Mama Kitty and Neko are not happy with this turn of events. Mimi is in the cat carrier and hidden in the guest bedroom. Neko is at the door trying to get in. Mama is skittish.
