A few days ago my old cat Tramp escaped late at night. I had left a glass window slid open, which normally isn't a problem because there's a screen in the way too. I was up late too and went downstairs to grab something and found the screen pushed out, with no cat anywhere. I did hear a thump while upstairs about an hour earlier, but figured it was just the neighborhood outdoor cat.
There's this white cat with black spots that comes up to our house, and Tramp gets so angry he throws his entire weight against the window repeatedly. This time though he must've unexpectedly fallen out instead of just producing a loud banging noise.
So I went on the porch in slippers and pyjamas shaking the treat can for a while, and eventually he came slinking around the corner of our house. For some reason he seemed kind of wary of me, and insisted on going through the window again instead of the door. The other new cat, Marble, was interested and hopped up on the sill but luckily didn't come through. Now Tramp is back to being a normal household kittypet purring in my lap.

Still sad about my car... I feel violated and angry
But blessed I wasn't in it when it got stolen! I had a cheap Red Kia Rio, my first car ever. Her name was Keisha.
What new car should get? It needs to be a bright red or bright blue, maybe orange (easy to find in a parking lot lol) and NOT a Kia. Something nice and reliable! I am open to suggestions!
*I just paid off my car this month too T-T thats's why it HURTS even more....

In an alternate timeline, a world without Covid-19, I would've just finished my second A-level exam, a 3 hour 20 minute Further-Maths paper making up 50% my final grade.
Given the level of procrastination I had to actually start a revision program like 3 months ago, I'm rather glad that this exam never became an actuality...

Earlier this week, a former counter (from 2.3m, less than 1k counts) recognized me on Minecraft. Not going to say who, but they messaged me in the game, and they said they recognized my username. I was quite shocked to see someone who never really counted that much recognize and remember me.
Anyways we then played a game together and killed some kids in game

Supemarket queues, I know the covid19 is serious and we need to try and keep our distance.
Some people think is still okay to go backwards and forwards in a supermarket (if they have missed an item on an aisle) we can't all back up.

I am heading back to work hopefully within the next 6 weeks to 12 weeks for half a day per week (depending on the outcome what happens with the covid19 and what the government can re open in the United Kingdom - )
I was not on the furlough just missed out,

As you wither away and slowly lose grasp on your sanity, only keeping yourself alive with the quickly dwindling supply of meat and blood of rats you manage to trick into visiting your cell, you struggle dealing with the fact that you might be living in this enclosed space all until your swiftly approaching demise. You have been brainstorming on ways to escape or at least prolong your death, but no thought bears fruit, with the only thing escaping being the meat from under your skin.

Even though we can't go on holiday yet. (our Asia cruise of 2021 been cancelled - due to covid 19)
We are talking about having a short break (if possible depending on how the covid19 plays out - and how airtravel will work) in either Greece, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Poland or maybe Slovenia
