Neighbors, spiders, and feeding your cat cereal

First it was losing a diamond out of my ring, then it was caressing a spider (you don't want to know...), followed by a visit from my parents. Then finding myself outside at 7am in the freezing cold, with a migraine, helping the neighbor I barely know break into her own house after her son locked the house, and car, keys in the car. Whoops!
It's really an akward way to meet someone, standing in your pajamas in the cold: No bra, mascara under my eyes and my short hair sticking out in every direction, looking like some kind of lost Calvin Klein "heroin chic" ad from the 90's.
A tried to make some kind of conversation, but could only babble randomly, still lost in my dream, where I was...
1. Warm.
2. In my home.
3. In my bed.
Since this was obvious it was too akward and I ended up wandering back to the comfort of my own home.
To top it off, my cats were out of food. And it's safe to say I was out of money. So I fed them Rice Krispies. One cat likes Cheerio's, so I was hoping he would go for the Rice Krispies as well. Beggars can't be choosers. It wasn't like I was excited about my breakfast, either.

P.S. I DID go out and buy my two cats food later that day. I'm not THAT cruel. I, on the other hand, am still eating Rice Krispies.
