I’ve got a full house, er, apartment today!! Had a full one last night too. Erica’s gas got shut off, and they can’t get it turned back on until tomorrow, so they obviously couldn’t stay at their house with a 5 1/2 month old baby and no heat!! I offered to let them stay with me because I have a couch with a pullout bed, and an air mattress. They were going to go to her grandma’s and she only has a recliner and a loveseat. No way! It was a little weird this morning because I couldn’t have my usual routine with two people and a baby sleeping in my living room. So it took me a little longer to get my head out of a fog this morning!

My poor kitties. They don’t know what to do with themselves. They’re used to it just being me, and here last night they show up with a bunch of stuff, including a jumper for the baby. Lucy eventually came out, but Pudge won’t. He got so far under my bed that all I could see was his eyeballs. I couldn’t have gotten him out if I needed too!! I think that’s mostly because Steve was there… he’s getting used to Erica. I’ve talked to Erica a couple of times today… she said he’s still hiding in my room, but sometimes on top of the bed instead of underneath it. Lucy has reclaimed her spots in the living room with an attitude of “hey, I live here, I’ll be out here if I want to!” She’s also very interested in the baby. She keeps going up and sniffing him.

I probably won’t be online much tonight because of my house guests. We’ll see! I made jello poke cake last night, so I’m looking forward to getting off work in fifteen minutes and going home and trying it. I’ve never made it before, so we’ll see if I managed to mess up practically the simplest dessert ever.
