My huge red coward

[yakalskovich]

We had painters invade the balconies this morning to repair minor damages in the outside paint.

I didn't like it at all because I didn't have to work today, planned to sleep in to help deal with my leftover lurgy, and woke to some shadow rustling and humming on the other side of my bedroom window, which was ajar. Of course, my Gothic drapes were down, but it was bad enough -- I fled from my room as soundlessly as I could and hid in the bathroom, where the cats were already hiding out, scared witless by the apparition on our balcony. Mephi was cowering and hissing desperately, and Lucifer squeezed beneath the cabinet under the sink.

It took him hours to get back to normal, poor cat. He clung to me all afternoon and evening and only consented to leave my side when I filled the cat bowl with unscheduled gooshy food.-

This might sound silly but the last invasion - electricians, three (3) months (months) - resulted in me standing on the fifth floor of a completely blacked out building with no idea how to get out ie. down the stairs. So better test that balcony before stepping back onto it *sarcastically serious*

They didn't do anything to the balcony, just dabbed around on the outside wall with smelly paint.
