Cat sitting
by Bertha on 26. Mar, 2007 in Canada 2006
My friend Susan went on her honeymoon (Coniki tour of Eastern Europe) and I’d been assigned the task of house/cat-sitting. It’s been pretty good so far but I’ve realized I’m allergic to them.

Friday I had Adam over for dinner. Lovely cheese tortellini in tangy tomato sauce. I can’t take credit for it, boiled the sauce was from a can, but I did add my own spices and veggies to it. Afterwards, he surprised me with theatre tickets to a Firefly Theatre presentation called Fly by Night(s). as […]
