etumukutenyakLast night we had a thunderstorm, starting while we were at the concert*. At first it was just lightning but the rain hit, oh yes, it did. We stopped for ice cream on the way home, and had to make a mad dash into the house. We were all in the bedroom when the lightning struck somewhere close, and the thunder boomed loudly enough to scare Kedgie off the bed and out the door. Unfortunately, the cat gate was closed, so she reversed course and ran under the bed. She doesn't jump gates, although she could. As the storm passed quickly, we sent Son up to bed, and Kedgie left the sanctuary for the kitchen. She must have spent the night on the other side of the gate, as it was Buzz on our bed instead. His first night on the bed in a few years..and no messes in the AM. I kept checking as I walked, but he'd peed in the box on the pad. Good Buzz!
After breakfast, he apparently touched noses with Brady, and they just warily watched each other. A little while later, Kedgie followed me out of the bedroom and Buzz approached her from hebind, so she hissed and swatted him. He just did his usual flop, and she zipped through the gate.
Still more to come: she was on the bed with me when Buzz jumped up, so she hissed and he sat down. There was some lying down with his back to her, and then he wanted to come closer to me, which she didn't like. I tried to settle them with some pettings, but she just moved to the end of the bed and then left. He settled down where she'd been resting. It's been going back and forth like that all morning -- Kedgie, Buzz, Kedgie, Buzz..
When I was letting the dogs out, Buzz was just finishing breakfast. I noticed that Athena was happy enough to run past Buzz, but Hercules wouldn't go near -- it must have been that little scratch on his nose that keeps him from going too close to Buzz.
I have to run out and pick up some iced tea and cookies for the church potluck -- after their service this morning, they're saying goodbye to the pastor who is retiring after 10 years and some recent serious health issues. I'll join them and then head over to work for the final run of the labs and such. We begin our inspection next week, and all of the institutes are doing their final checks.
*The concert was nice; two of the singers are from Honey's church and sing with this choir as well. They are all going to northern Europe for a two-week tour.
