My indoor cat just dashed through the door as I was going out. First time she has done this. I only adopted her almost a month.
Panic!
She jumped my fence which borders a large park. I grabbed a blanket, some food and went into the park, yelling her name but not really hopeful.
My son comes out yelling "Mum! She's at the back door!". He let's her in and she bolts for a bed to hide under.
She can have all the pets and treats tonight. My heart rate is gonna take some time to recover.

It's nice to be social but I've had my fill for this week. Need a lot of solo time to recharge.
Today is all about finding a farm stay for a mum-&-son weekend away in a couple of months, making tteokbokki for the first time and doing the ironing.
Loving this weather. Love this type of easy, light rain.
But first: coffee!
Got to the beach with junior. Beach Rd is very busy already. Parking is being quickly claimed. So glad we got here when we did.
Promised my kid an early morning beach visit tomorrow. Can't say I'm overly excited about it but it still should be nice to dip my toes around 7am. An hour or 2 then home to AC.
Feeling a little caged at the moment with this heat.
Reluctantly went out and driving through Mt Waverley is eye opening. So many damaged houses and people just in shock. It is absolute carnage in some streets.
We got lucky. Major tree fell but only slight damage to fence & garage... No power but I'm not surprised. If we get it back before midnight I'll be surprised.
Traffic lights out all along Blackburn Rd from Waverley Rd to Canterbury Rd (possibly further but this is where I went).
SES, police, water companies, electric companies, councils & fire crews will be working stretched for weeks just dealing with the damage/repairs.
This will break a lot of people.
In the 5km radius of my home on the Vic Emergency app I can see 181 incidents. And they just keep on adding on and on.
I feel incredibly lucky and a bit stunned right now.
School pickup time and the black clouds remind me of when the Mind Flayer appears in Stranger Things.
Survived a social day. In reviewing today's play I can only see 1 overreaction and maybe 2-3 oversharing moments.
No anxiety though which is amazing. And didn't cause a scene (mind you, i generally tend to avoid those). Bloody exhausted though.
Thumb-sized bit of eye fillet. Well done. Spiral pasta with basil pesto. Mixed overcooked veggies.
Welcome to my end-of-term-December-CBF effort.
