I cleaned my apartment this morning. At 400 square feet, this is a pretty easy task. That took half an hour. What to do with the rest of my day off?<\/font><\/p>\n

It rained last night and into this morning. First time it\u2019s rained here in Seattle since early July. Yeah, we are rain city, but not so much in late summer. It\u2019s supposed to be clear for the next week or two, but come October, we begin 9 months of gray and drizzle. <\/font><\/p>\n

The rain this morning really bothered my cat, Bliss. Over the last month or two, she has spent 23 hours and 45 minutes a day outside. At times, I\u2019ve almost felt abandoned! She comes in to eat, maybe spends five minutes getting pet, and then voom!, she\u2019s either back out the open window or begging me to open it. <\/font><\/p>\n

This morning, she sat on the windowsill in front of the open window. Each drip falling was like a personal affront on her world. She stared out the window like she’s lost her best friend. <\/font><\/p>\n

After ruminating and anthropomorphizing the emotions of my cat, what to do next? I had all day until Monday Night Football. Aha! Some family pictures. I gathered all my stringed instruments onto my bed and took pictures. <\/font><\/p>\n
