Day 157

It's Wednesday - it's cooler today - the high was only like around 79 or 80 today - so that was much, much better than it has been. 
I read some chapters from "The Farmer Boy" with Jaide this morning. 
After that I went to Walmart to pick up some things I needed for Sunday School.
I also bought a harness for my cat. I was thinking what a great thing that would be. I would put the harness on and we could walk outside and he could explore the backyard and I would be sure that he wouldn't get free or lost. I have never used a harness on a cat. Getting it on him was fine - he slumped a little, but allowed me to put it on him. Then I had a light-weight retractable leash in my closet and I hooked him up. Well the noise from the leash going in and out freaked him out so bad that he tried to run away. Zing......around the corner in the hall and right to the end of the leash. When I caught up he was just standing there. I walked up to him to help him and the leash made the same noise. Zing....... around another corner............ the third zing........... and I saw what he was doing. He was running full tilt and then flying upside down when he came to the end of the leash!! That poor kitty. By this time I just put the leash down and went to rescue him. His little harness was all

 twisted and turned around because he had been trying to run and jump out of it. So I unhooked him and just held him for a while. Poor thing was seriously disturbed by this time and only a small kitty treat was gonna make him feel better. So I have put away the harness for the time being and will pursue this another time. I hope he doesn't scratch my eyes out tonight while I'm sleeping. Do cats have good memories?? Will he associate me, his human-mama, as the 'baddie' that hooked him up and let him become a horizontal yo-yo?? Only time will tell. 
I had a meeting tonight with the Wednesday night kids teachers and we made plans for the upcoming year that starts on September 7th. I will be another character again this year. All I know so far is my character will be visited in the country of Japan...........
I am a chef................
and my name is.................
Terry Yaki !!!!!!! 

How fun. Can't wait to be wild and outlandish again this year.  That is if I survive tonight and my cat doesn't plot revenge.............
