I looked around the house, the backyard and thought she must have gone back to the house where I adopted her (which doesn't make sense as she's settled here). I went around to the house and she was nowhere to be found. I was panicing and then was calling her name as I came up the drive. I see her under the stairs to our flat in a hole which connects to the basement! I was like mother****er, how did I miss you before? So I grabbed her, put her in my room and tried to sleep again but it took well over an hour before she settled (stopped jumping around and playing with her mouse like a maniac) and then I got maybe one more hour and then had to get up to go to the supermarket with my flatmate. The problem is she woke me up for hours the night before as well so I'm really fecking knackered. I am going to study at home instead of going to school and then I'll do my overdue exam tomorrow. I plan on getting a really early night so at least if she wakes up at 5am and wants out again I will have rested more. My landlord is making a boardwalk for her to go out my window and onto the stair ledge so it's easy for her to get outside, which he will do tomorrow apparently. That will be perfect as then I can get rid of her litter tray once she's used to going in and out. Ah yes, the learnings of owning a cat. She's currently sleeping like an angel on my bed (on a pink cat paw blanket I got her).

My flatmate taught me how to make this amazing cheese spread with cottage cheese, sour cream, feta, leek, garlic, capsicum, mustard, pepper, salt and vegetable stock. It's like the best thing I've ever eaten! I am eating it on toast at the moment but also stuffed a red capsicum with the cheese mix too. Devine!
