Today I had planned to head over to my Sis right after work. Well that didn't quite happen. Everything would have worked out perfectly if I had gotten off work at 4 pm as I had planned. But since it took me till 5.30 pm to wrap things up, my time table was pretty much screwed up. I had to make a trip to the hardware store to pick up some items I still needed for the move. That went fairly quickly. Then I headed over to my old place to pick up Daisy. At this point the 7 pm time table to be at my Sis was still possible. But a heavy down pour had other plans and I wasn't going to go out with Daisy in that kind of weather an be completely soaked by the time I would be getting to the subway. Luckily these down pours usually don't last that long. So I was only running about 1/2 hour late.
It was the first time since Easter that I had hung out with my Sis. We only live about 30 minutes apart from each other, but we have to very different life styles and so we don't see each other that often as we would like to. My 2 nephews were deligthed to see Daisy. And it was also the first time that Daisy met my Sis' 2 cats. And lets put it that way Daisy and cats are not exactly friends. The only thing Daisy wanted to do is to chase the cat. That's just something I've never been able to change. Those 2 cats didn't quite like her either, but were way too curious for their own good. So Daisy had to stay on the leash. For most parts that worked out quite fine. There was one tense moment though. But for the rest of the evening we could observe a staring match betwen Daisy and the 2 cats.
We did catch up on what was going on in each others life and by 9 pm we said our good byes and I picked up my Sis' car that she let me borrow for the pre-move that I had planned for the next day. Daisy and I got home by about 9.30 pm. Usually while I'm cooking Daisy is watching me. But from all the excitement with the cats and from the almost 2 hour long staring duell, poor Daisy was all wiped out and slept alle stretched out in the middle of the kitchen. She didn't even open her eyes when I was walking around. The rest of the evening was quiet and relaxed since the next day was going to be an exhausting one.
