This post was going to be all about my new winter hat, which I got on a deal for only $10.
It gets so cold in my work area, and with a fan blowing on me all day, I need to wear a hat -- and scarf and jacket -- to keep from freezing. I've been wearing my knit hats, but they tend to ride up and not keep my ears warm. Last winter, a couple of the other brazers had these types of hats, and I thought, "Hmmm..." So when this one came up in a deal, plus a $5 off coupon, I couldn't pass it up.
And I've been wanting a Navy garden flag, so I tossed this one into my cart as well.
But, as I was leaving the plant, I saw crouched in the exit lane a tiny little kitten, and people were just driving over it like it wasn't even there. How the little thing hadn't gotten run over is beyond me, since I typically wait until most of the traffic has cleared out to even leave. And I mean it was right smack dab in the middle of the driving lane.
As soon as I saw it, I shouted, "Hey! That's a kitten!" I slammed on the brakes and jumped out of my car, and with the help of a couple of other employees, I finally caught the thing and hoisted it above my head like Simba in The Lion King.
Then, since I didn't have a way to safely drive home with it, I put it into my lunch box until I got to the house. Basically, I went full redneck, but the situation demanded it.
It's such a teeny little thing, but I can't keep it.
I don't even want the cat I have. I certainly don't want another one. I've advertised it in a couple of local groups, but so far no takers. In the meantime, I dragged out the old dog kennel and set it up a place to stay.
It looks like it's about 4-6 weeks old, and is already eating solid food. It's shy and scared, but I think it will tame down pretty quickly.
Anybody want a kitten?
