I have been on a road trip for the past 3 days. It is Wednesday night and I left my home at 2 pm on Monday. Right before I left I hurried home and threw my clothes in a suitcase and then left. As I left I shut my bedroom door, I usually do that when I am gone for an extended period of time so the cats don't shed all their hair in my room. I guess I presumed the cats were hiding in the living room. I went up to Hoopa on Tuesday, worked up there and then drove to Sacramento on Tuesday afternoon. I then worked in Sacramento on Wednesday morning then worked again in Livermore in the afternoon then in the evening I had a meeting with an old student that is establishing a university in Vietnam and has asked my help in finding faculty. I finally got home around 8:30 on Wednesday and I started bringing in the mail and getting some stuff out of the car.
I then heard a faint noise from behind the bedroom door, and I found out I had locked the cats IN the room rather than OUT of the room. I opened the door and the cats ran out of the door to their food dish. The sat there and ate for about 10 minutes. I didn't know how to apologize to the cats. I didn't know if they would ever talk to me (that is just an expression, they don't really talk to me). I thought they would be upset for a LONG time. But, but 9:30 the one that always tries to be in my lap was jumping in my lap and I was pushing him out, and the other one that always curls at my feet was warming my feet. I am so happy they are back to normal, but I feel really really bad about what I did to them. I haven't found where they used the bathroom in my room, but at least it wasn't in the bed. The room doesn't smell bad, like I was afraid would happen. I am VERY HAPPY to be home!!
