First the great news and the resolution to the exciting cliffhanger. Yuli has been found. Turns out she was hiding in a box on a balcony three floors below mine after falling down there. When the people in the apartment brought me to her, she was scared stiff and didn't really know what was going on until I returned her home and she was able to scratch up the carpet and bother my neighbors with her roaring once again.
Since then she's been her normal self. She curls up on me a little more than usual though, and seems a little quicker to cry when I leave the apartment. Which hasn't been that often these past few days because I've been trapped inside with some kind of virus. It has meant a nasty fever that kept me in bed all day Thursday, and the kind of activity which leads to massive dehydration even while drinking gallons of water, which is how I find myself today. I have a nasty little headache.
And since the internet in my apartment was knocked out in Thursday's thunderstorm, I wasn't able to get the news about Yuli to you until today. I have absolutely no idea what I'm paying for when it comes to the internet in my apartment, but I suppose I forget all the frustration of not having it when it comes back on and I don't have to walk to the internet club and deal with 8 year-old kids slapping each other and screaming while I type.
So that's the scoop. That cat's back and he's not pregnant (glory upon glories), and I'm on the downslope of a nasty virus. Oh, and school's finally out, which is just, plain gravy.
