I had an extremely blonde moment at work the other day.

I am unlocking the door to my room. I cannot open the sliding door. The key only turns so far either way and the door will not slide at all. I try holding the door tightly to me as I unlock it, I try jiggling the key. I wonder briefly if I have been given the wrong key.  I think about returning to the office to get a new key. Then for some unknown reason I push the door away from me and it opens. Not a sliding door. Like all the other classroom doors. A hinged door. I feel somewhat foolish. Fortunately nobody saw me.

This is the only time I’m going to mention work as things are pretty bleh and stressful for me there at the mo.

On the bright side we have our four legged mouse trap at home.

Meet Chunks.

He is 9 weeks old and has come from a house with 8 children and a dog. So my 3 boys and our dog are a barely a blip on his radar screen. His is sooooo chilled out. The first evening  here he kept getting out of his bed in the back room and lying down in the middle of the loungeroom (where we all were) to sleep.  He eats anything. He stole a Brussels Sprout off my dinner plate the other night. Yes, he is naughty. Buts he’s cute. The mice seem to be quieter. I have heard that once they smell a cat they make themselves scarce. Yay for Chunks.

  1. Chunks is the most awesome name for a cat EVER.
    PS as for the door, well, I tried to push one open because it looked like it was slightly ajar already and it wasn’t. So when I pushed at it with my shoulder.

    Um.

    Yeah, I made tracks.

    Chunks?! LOL! Love it.

    By the way, I bet neither of you has slammed her own fingers in a door.

    D’oh!

    What was wrong with the door? I do that all the time! I used to be blonde, but outgrew it. Maybe it’s something you can never outgrow? Ah, what the heck! I rather enjoy making people laugh. So what if it’s at me!

  6. Chunks looks so cute. I hope he will soon start to earn his living. I guess the food bills may be reduced if he is successful with the mouse population.
    As for doors – I am not good with them. I shut my thumb in the car door and now my thumb nail will not grow properly. I walked into a glass door and bent my glasse. I push them when you should pull them, I am hopeless trying to lock or unlock a door with a key, etc. etc.
    Good luck going back to work!
