"Where's the copy for X?"
"It's on my desk. Leave me alone."
"Where are the amendments to X?"
"I'll email them to you. Now LEAVE me alone!"
I have sadly neglected my dear friends in prison, the ones who count on me for correspondence in the form of letters. Instead, I have been working, sleeping, eating, and sleeping. But bless, they still continue to write. Makes me feel bad.
Last night my cat - the one that cost about as much as a generous donation to a small African country - got stuck in the cross bars of the ironing board. I'm still at a loss at how she managed to get up there. I was taking a nap when she started shrieking like a banshee. I just assumed she was fighting with my other cat - and losing, quite badly. Eventually the tone of the banshee scream changed to a blood-curdling growl. I peeped out from under the blanket and saw her dangling there, arm twisted into some weird position. SO I hopped out of bed to save her - much like a fireman saves a cat from a tree - only to have my hand lacerated by the thrashing needles she has on the ends of her paws.
Great. Super. Just wonderful. I'm tired and look like a wreck. Not scarey-looking, mind you. Just dreary and washed out. Like my friend the scarecrow.
