Recent Adventures

 I was thinking the other day about how boring my life gets in the summer. I'm basically stuck in my room, as this is the only place that has a working air conditioner; the one in the kitchen/dining room stopped working after two days!

Then Friday happened.

Friday morning, David went out the back door to the storage place to see if there were any other fans. As he came back in, Mama cat made a dash for freedom. 

In the old house, she would escape every now and then, but she would always come back. I felt that she knew that area, as she had been a stray before we took her in!  But here she had never been outside!

Panic ensued. David, Christopher, and I went outside to see if we could find her. Yes, even I went out!

We looked around, but the land is so overgrown that it's impossible to see anything, plus there is so much stuff in the outside storage area that she could be hiding anywhere. I managed to fall over and jar my back! I came back in, but David and Christopher stayed out for almost an hour! Finally, we decided to put some food out to see if that would coax her back.

After about an hour, we saw her, David tried to catch her then but she ran into the storage area. It took another 30 minutes, but David managed to get her. He had to climb over all the stuff in there.

I'm glad we got her back. There are too many wild animals out here which makes it more dangerous for domestic cats to survive.

That was enough adventure for one day, but life hadn't finished throwing me a curveball!

At 10:30 at night, Hannah called me on Messenger, which was unusual; we usually use the Line app to talk!

She looked awful, very pale and almost crying. She was panicking. She said she woke up about half an hour before with no memory of who she was, where she was, what day it was, or what she had done that day. I asked if she remembered about Mama getting out, and she said no if she remembered what she had for dinner, again, no. She said that her jaw was hurting. She asked if I could come and stay with her.

I had to ask Mikey to drive David to work and then take me to Hannah's. I felt so sorry for Mikey as he is now working delivering newspapers from 2am to 4am, and this was already 11pm. I think he got back here after 1am!!

I got to Hannah's at midnight, we sat talking until about 2am!

She has a lot going on with her course. One of her teachers is a nasty piece of work, very narcissistic!  She spends most of the lesson putting the students down! All of the students are stressed by this teacher. I've suggested to Hannah to ask if she can change class. Also, last week Hannah had to do two presentations, plus two for this coming week. 

It was nice to spend the night, not that I got much sleep! I think I spent time watching Hannah, making sure she was okay.

In the morning, we had a late, unhealthy breakfast! One good thing is that Hannah can use Uber Eats to order food! We ordered from McDonald's! I haven't had anything from there for a couple of years, so it was a nice change!

Breakfast

Hannah decided to come home for a few days!

She sent a message to her year tutor. He said that it was no problem, but suggested she go to the hospital to get a proper diagnosis.

So she's at home! I think she is enjoying being with the cats!

She'll have to call the hospital tomorrow and hopefully get an appointment for Tuesday!

My weekend was not boring at all!!  I need to recover from the weekend, so I'm hoping things don't get too crazy!!

    1. Thank you for your comment. Hannah is doing okay, we are going to the hospital tomorrow and hope to get some answers. She can rest a bit, I think she over thinks things and ends up getting really stressed!
