Food for thought
January 4, 2005

It has come to my understanding that solitary confinement is generally a form of punishment used in the United States detention system. I have to say, the past three weeks have been very similar to solitary confinement. OK, so I have a little bit of interaction, but for almost three weeks, I was confined to one room for most of the day. That was not fun.

I had English cousins come to visit. The littles one didn't talk too much. One of the only things I heard him say was, "kiddles" and I am starting to think he was talking about me. Mother says he is two and a half years old, so shouldn't expect too much. I didn't.

The weather is just plain crazy. There was an earthquake that caused massive tsunamis. That is just too scary to think about. It didn't help that my uncle was discussing an article about tidal waves and the Eastern US. He really knows how to worry a cat. Thankfully I was reassured that we are far enough inland.

For the holidays I got the usual snacks, a wool blanket and a wool catnip wonton. I knew that was what mommy was making, but since I was in solitary confinement, I wasn't completely sure. No one gave me any ice cream, but I got a little piece of turkey.

New years eve was loud. There are a lot of places near here that do fireworks every night, but tonight was just too loud. I spent a lot of time hiding under some sweaters in the closet. I woke up when mommy told me it was time to eat. Food, I'll leave for that. Speaking of food, I think I'm due for a little right now. Night Diary.
