I only live ten minutes away, so I left with a song in my lips. Yes, sleeping in would have been nice, but not even clocking in is a solid second best. Got chicken for catsoup on my way home, so I didn't even waste the trip.
Went downtown, ordered a thing. My Aunt Evelyn's kilt, the last time I went to wear it, had extensive moth damage. That's all I'm saying. The attempt to find a nice shirt was met with utter failure, since women's tops are all made of cheap, thin, slinky stuff that costs way too much. They were soft, but hung on me like an old dishcloth on a bollard. I need thick nubby fabric, and a collar at least. So, nope. This is one of the Things, to have a set of clothes I can wear to weddings, funerals, concerts, without feeling anxious about what I'm wearing. I'm crap at this sort of thing, a uniform is much easier.
I did go by public transportation and walked all the way home. The air was frosty, and I got rather chilled trying to wait for the initial bus. By the time I got home, walking had mostly warmed me up. It was a good walk.
Right now Zeppo is squished between us, purring and occasionally mushing his face into ours. He's very sweet and funny.

This is a very cheery post and I enjoyed it. Of course, I always enjoy a post with a cat picture.
Cat,
I try to include cat photos whenever I possible. I go out of my way to do so. Glad you enjoy them.
Living the dream! A day off at short notice is a wonderful thing.
I follow someone on twitter who recommends really cute dresses but they always turn out to be made of viscose or polyester, bleah. Keep working on the good clothes that are a pleasure to wear.
Z! Love the paw on the glass (BIG heart)
Nimble,
I'm watching. Got an embroidered green blouse, and blousy grey pants in a thick heavy fabric at the Nepal store. The owner designs the clothes, so they are of that style, but adapted. It's a start, and the shirt will go with the kilt when it's done.
Rou,
She does that. There are nose and paw marks all along the window, proof of cats. Woke up to both of them on us this morning, Zeppo on Dylan, Eleanor between me and them, all squished in together. Of course, we'd slept later than usual, and they were waiting for breakfast.
