Post-Storm; Lizzie Blew It

Around 1:30 last night, I heard Lizzie pattering around. I stepped into a puddle in the hallway, let her out and later on, at 4:30, into excrement.

In complete disgust, I threw towels down and rolled up her blankets and the rugs. This morning, Ron and I worked on cleanup: washing and hanging up the two blankets (he discovered that we aren’t supposed to dry them so we jerry-rigged an extra clothesline in the basement) and cleaning the rugs with the Little Green.

Ron took her cage out of the shed and we set it up on the deck to see if there was room enough for it in the second bedroom. Lizzie seemed happy to see it. We figured out we have enough to make her comfortable tonight and will give it a try.

I sautéed some veggies and the last package of ramen noodles, which were expired but still good.

Received a decorative arrangement from Joanne and adapted it to hang by the front door. Hope it stays put. It’s not wonderful but I paid very little for it.

The yard is a mess but thank goodness, no major damage, mostly minor blow-downs.
