So I went a little early this evening to feed and water Campus Kitten and she came right away when I announced myself.
Her food and water bowls were still there.
It was kind of busy along the street. Early evening is a popular time for people to get out and walk, and she was a little skittish when she came up to the fence.
So I got better pictures of her today.
Or him?
I may never know.
I’m still posting every day, but sometimes I’m too lazy to post links. So check in, will ya? I don’t have a set time of the day I post. May be earlier, may be later.
I should have stayed home yesterday and today to recuperate. Rest is the only thing that does anything for a cold, at least in my case.
But I actually didn’t feel too bad today. My nose wasn’t running. I still got meds though and after I had “lunch” at a very late hour for lunch (more like dinner) I came home and got into bed.
The heat isn’t helping either. But I got to the bank, transferred my money and wired some of it home.
I visited Campus Kitten last night during a rainstorm. The two plates and one bowl were gone, but I dumped a couple handfuls of Whiskas on the ground anyway.
Tonight, I announced my presence, and within seconds a large orange cat came by. At first I thought it was Campus Kitten, but I thought “no, can’t be.” CK came bopping along and realized that Campus Kitten has either a mom or dad.
Wouldn’t it be great if cats actually had eyes like this?
This warms my heart. A couple weeks ago I passed an acquaintance while out for a walk who thought that maybe Campus Kitten’s mom had died, and the kitten was hanging around and wailing with sadness. This made me really depressed. But after a few days of regular food, the kitten wasn’t wailing anymore.
Keeping an eye on me and the young’un.
Campus Kitten has teeth, but I don’t know how old he/she is. So the kitten may be weaned already, but I don’t know. All I know is that the food is being eaten, but maybe mom or dad is chowing down too. I walked away tonight, only to come back to see if the orange cat approached the food. It did, but ran away at the sight of me. However, Campus Kitten was still chowing down. So I was happy about that.

Today was my first day of class. I only had one class, so that was nice. I’d never taught in this building before, so finding out where stuff was connected in the classroom was nerve-wracking. However, there was someone in the room next door, a technician, who showed me where the HDMI cord was. For some reason, my computer wouldn’t get online, but then it did.
There is a computer in class, and I was able to log on to it, but using my own computer seems faster and more familiar. Plus, I have a VPN, and the classroom computers are not equipped with that. And of course, my browser stores passwords and such. If I use a different computer, I have to have those passwords written down.
I have a lot of familiar students too. So the first day went okay.
I do get nervous/anxious when it comes to change. I had a nice long vacation, so getting back into the swing of school will be difficult. But the freshmen have military training the first four weeks of school. So I just have three classes a week this first month, which is nice. Then, my argumentative students will finish their class with another teacher, so after eight weeks, I’ll have five classes per week.
So I was up way earlier than I needed to be, and noticed my dining room/living room, had a red cast to it. So I got out on my balcony and took some pictures.
I came home and went to sleep. I’m still feeling low energy despite the blood tests being okay. I’m wondering if it’s the heat that’s taking it out on me. My A/C doesn’t seem to be nearly as cold as it used to be. I’m thinking the filter needs to be clean or something. And coming home soaking in sweat is disgusting to me. I did put on makeup today, but my face was dripping sweat so I wondered why I bothered. Yes, I have Mist and Fix spray, but what I would like is an antiperspirant for my face. Sweat literally drips off my chin. I should have walked home today, but lugging my bag with my new computer and all the stuff I take for class (textbook, notebook, planner, pencil bag, HDMI cord, powerstrip, bottled water, ziploc bag of cat food) means my totebag weighs at least 20 pounds. I fed the kitten before I came home because I didn’t want to come back out. She/he cleans the plate every day.
For supper, I finally got out of bed and made brown sauce for my steak, onion, and green pepper stir fry. I followed the directions, and boy, it was good.
Recipe was from The Woks of Life. I got a shot of that too.
I came by early again, just as twilight was hitting, and she was right there! Then some fireworks went off down the street and scared her off. But I gave her a new water dish, plus a good portion of cat food.
Here’s a shot of her after the fireworks, posing for me.
Managed to get out and get some pics of Three Lanes, Seven Alleys and Daming Food Street, but I was very uncomfortable. I think I am looking foward to the day when temperatures cool off a bit.
Maybe it was the lack of water. I usually carry a water bottle with me, but I was using a new handbag today. I usually carry a backpack, but that gets tiring. So I went with a handbag a former student got me as a gift. I really like it and it’s the right size to carry the basics around, but not big enough for a water bottle. Maybe if I’d rehydrated, I would have felt better.
Tired as I was, I made it to Campus Kitten today and got her fed and watered. She really attacked the Whiskas dry food, which makes me wonder if I’m her only meal for the day.
She’s not crying as much. So maybe the hunger is going away.
No Way! Laowai!
