King Ping and Baby Lotus are saving a spot for you, LT! All nappers are welcome, on a first come first serve basis. Space is limited (Sorry, it's a single bed, not a king-sized as would befit His Majesty the Ping.)
Last night I ate lots of crunchies. Not the buggie kind, but still yummy.
Then I charged at big brother Tantra. He hissed. I wasn't going to wap him, but Little Miao didn't like it anyway. She called me a "Baby Blotus" and I didn't like that but I let her pick me up. She said it was to keep Tantra safe.
Then we watched Mimic together. It's a movie about these big buggies that take over the New York subway and they plan to take over the world, too. They hunt people and they get hungry a lot. I don't think it's a very scary movie and the buggies are big but I could squish them all with my big feets. They didn't look very tasty, though.
This evening, I was taking my earrings off when suddenly one of them slipped from my fingers and fell beneath my desk. It's one of those small diamondy post earrings that can be worn as a second pair of with pretty much any other silver earrings. I got down on my hands and knees with a flashlight and searched for nearly five minutes, to no avail. The floor is carpeted (and I haven't vacuumed since... well, a while ago...*), but there really aren't many places an earring could hide.
The only clue to its disappearance was a very guilty-looking creepy crawlie who was scampering away from the scene. It was approximately the same size as my missing earring. It combined the traits of a millipede and a silverfish, and carried itself with a worm-like demeanor and several pairs of legs. Its coloring was faintly reminiscent of a Batcat paw.
Either the creepy crawlie hid my earring with impressive speed, or my earring turned into a creepy crawlie in order to escape from its life of servitude.
I haven't lost an earring in ages. At least these post earrings are inexpensive and easily replaceable.
*I will be delaying vacuuming indefinitely as a result of this incident.
