The Blanche Diaries: Saturday
Jun. 26th, 2010 07:03 pmYesterday, after arriving home from work and eating dinner, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wink_martindale and I went over to our landlady's to check on Blanche. I had these terrible images in my head that we'd find her stiff in some corner (like my brother's hamster when we were kids, who was pushed under the bed in a cage and forgotten about for over a week) but when we opened the front door there she was, at the top of the stairs leading down into the kitchen, curious about us.
She didn't know what to do with herself: run ahead of us? Get entangled in our legs? Climb us like Spider Woman? I topped up her water bowl with some milk and refilled her food bowl, as per landlady's instructions, then sat in the living room with some of her toys. She immediately fell in love with my camera's strap and gave my arms and hands demonstrable love scratches. While Wink entertained her, I tried to get the Wii working and discovered that it's way too complicated for me; maybe I should go back to playing Chess.
Later on, Wink and I laid on the couches and got Blanche tired by making her run back and forth after a toy on a string. When she started panting, we knew our jobs were done. She curled up near my legs and we both took a nap.
I spent today at the community garden and wandering around Bow taking photos. In a while we'll drop by to visit her and play.
