Well, it probably wasn't utter (complete) chaos, but mighty close. Saturday I managed to get up early enough to jog, get Edgar's food, water, & cage ready for the day, and then make it to my Chinese class only 5 minutes late. After getting back home, I collected my dirty laundry and went to my Mother's house, where I proceeded to wash my laundry. While I was there I cut an apple tree branch, from an apple tree in back of my Mother's house, to make a perch to put into Edgar's cage to replace an old one. Then while waiting for my laundry to dry I went to the Target Store in Waterford to pick up a few things, and went right across the street to one of my favorite stores, Border's Books.
When I went back to my Mother's house, my laundry still wasn't dry, so I went to the supermarket and then went home. My Mother and sister were going to bring my laundry to me when my sister was coming later to look at my computer to see if she could find out why the audio (sound) wasn't working. They were supposed to call first so I could put Edgar into his cage, since he sometimes panicks when people come in.
So, of course, they only remembered to call when they were half way to my apartment, and they realized they both had left their cell phones at my Mother's house. When they knocked, I opened the door with Edgar on my shoulder while talking in a calming voice to him, and also warning my Mother and Sister to come in quietly as well. What I didn't count on was my sister's little fluffy pomeranian (a small breed of dog) being there, and he came in first. Edgar panicked in a big way, and flew for the hills. The only problem was, there are no hills in my apartment. The only place he had to go was a dark bedroom, where, after bouncing off a wall or two, he ended up behind the bureau. I, of course, was panicking as well, and thought Edgar was injured or dying. While cursing loudly, I somehow managed to get Edgar on my hand, and so rescued him from out behind the bureau. Meanwhile, my sister had taken her dog, Punky, back out to her car where he would have to wait for her.
And that was the end of that. My sister couldn't figure out why the sound didn't work on my computer, and so she and my Mother went back to my Mother's house. After I made sure Edgar was settled in for the night, I went to bed as well.
And so ended a wild and crazy Saturday.
