I got a Tina Turner CD in the mail today. I think I’ve got CDs coming to this new apartment soon. Under the name Savannah, I think. I’m not sure, so I’ll wait and see. If I don’t get anything, I’ll fill out a form for more. There are 2 separate clubs. I’m sure Andy wouldn’t mind if I sent CDs to his place, too.

Gloria has her Greatest Hits out now, and I hope that’ll show up in record catalogs. As well as one recently released by Linda in Spanish.

Andy grilled us steaks he bought. I supplied us each with a baked potato. Unfortunately, I couldn’t enjoy the potato that much cuz I thought I had margarine, but I don’t.

Damn! I just remembered I let Andy borrow it. Why didn’t he say anything about it?

Later...

I just had the creepiest, goriest thing happen. As I was at the kitchen table writing, I noticed a movement along the metal side of the table. The one I was sitting at. I thought it was a cricket, but it was a huge spider! I backed away quickly and it almost came down on my lap. It was barely an inch away.

As I was waking up early this evening, my ESP said there was a spider on the ceiling above my bed. There was. A baby one, though.

I called Andy’s machine telling him about the spiders and asking if he’s got my margarine.

What I wrote about the spiders reminded me of the bee incident in Norwich. I woke up feeling a bee was inside somewhere and sure enough, it was in the kitchen window. I remember telling that to Tammy.

I must finish the drawing of Tammy, Bill and the girls on their swings, and draw something for Tara’s b-day.

Later...

Two weeks or so before I moved to this apartment, I was sitting on my patio when I noticed a black and white cat. I was shocked at how brave and friendly she was. I gave her some milk and she was so determined to go inside with me. I wouldn’t let her and eventually, she gave up and disappeared. After that, I’d see her around the complex. Others commented on how friendly she was. They said as far as they knew she was a stray. I figured as much myself. Before I moved I had a feeling that this cat would check out other tenants, then settle on me at the new apartment. I was right. Only a few days after I got here she showed up at my door. She’s been here ever since. She’s the sweetest little thing and is 100% like Shadow! Mary, downstairs, gave me some cat food telling me she feeds her here and there. She’s big like Shadow was. Another strange yet nice coincidence is that we meow together like Shadow and I used to. Isn’t that weird? And cats don’t just do that. They must be trained. Her mannerisms are so much like Shadow’s and she’s so loving. Maybe cats do have 9 lives, although I don’t know if Shadow’s dead. I doubt if Shadow’s dead, and this cat is older. How old, though, I have no idea. I’d guess between 1-2 years, but I hope she’s not pregnant. I need not buy a litter box, which is nice. I put her out when I’m gone, asleep or just not wanting her all over me and she does her jobs outside. I hear her getting into catfights every day, too. As far as spaying and shots, I don’t know what I’ll do about that, or if I ever will. It still costs money I don’t have even with a low-income discount. At first, I was gonna name her Oreo. I stole the idea from Kim who had a black and white cat. Mary came up with Domino, but Andy’s was the best. Moon Shadow.
