Adventures in Babysitting....

Alright, so I haven't exactly been babysitting... I have been cat sitting. Last week I told my boss that I would look after her cats while she was on vacation. Well, after talking, the day she was about to leave, she and her assistant decided that it might be best for me to stay on campus so I wouldn't have to get up so early or get home so late. So they got a campus townhouse all ready for me to stay in. I went home and threw some stuff in a bag and prepared for my solo adventure on campus.

Things were going fine. I was up every morning to feed the cats at 6:30 and also at the house to feed them at 9 p.m. each night. One night, when I was going to feed the cats, I walked into my boss's backyard to find a white cat eating the breakfast leftovers in the darkness of the night. I slowly crept up, when it turned and looked at me with it's beady little eyes. It was then that I realized this was no cat, but a skunk! I ran as fast as my short chubby little legs would carry me, past the gate and into the car.

I survived, resting in the comfort that the grocery store was well stocked with tomato juice! Last night was my last night on campus. On my lunch break, I will pack up my stuff, and get ready to go home and prepare for my trip to Kentucky by myself. I will write more about the wedding when I return! Until then....
