I tried to get the new dishwasher to work but I couldn't due to the fact that the host part doesn't fit over the sink faucet. And I don't have strong enough tools to remove the part of the faucet that's blocking the hose. Chris Gouker does, though! He'll bring them by on Saturday.
I had pizza for din-dins, then Cat Gouker came and picked Carrie up. They were gone for, oh, an hour or so. When they came back, they had a visitor with them...




Meet Beatrix (or Beatrice? I'm not sure... let's just call her Bea). Beatrix is, as you can see, a tiny little kitten. Much to Fantastico's dismay, Bea stayed with us last night. Oh, she's not ours. She was one of the many kittens that Nyki's cat popped out a while back. She actually belongs to Heather & Chris. We're just holding onto her.
She's very cute, although she's earned the nickname (from me) of "Ketty Belly" because when she meows it sounds like a tea kettle going off.
We set up the bathroom with food, water, and litter for the night and put her in there so Fantastico (who does nothing but hiss and growl at Bea) wouldn't feel quite so threatened. That photos above were taken while I was trying to get Bea to be comfortable in the bathroom. Guess it worked!
Anyway, because of the kitten excitement I didn't get to sleep until Conan O'Brien was almost over.
In fact, right now she's in my lap playing with a pen as I type this.
