This occurred the other day:
Me (to K): I'm going to the bathroom.*
K: Have a good time. Write if you stay long.
Me: If I can find something to write on, I will. Don't know how it will be delivered 'cause the cat has gone back to bed.
K: Oh, she'll be down to deliver it. It would be a special delivery.
Me: Well, if you're sure. I would hate to not have a way to get it to you!
We have SO much fun here! ;)
*There are three reasons why I announce my intended bathroom visits:
1) We have only the one bathroom**, so I want to let him know it will be occupied.
b) So he will know where I am in case I'm needed.
III) So he will answer the phone if it rings. Otherwise, the call would go unanswered because he won't get it. As he says, "It isn't for ME!!"
**We have a half bath in the dungeon--otherwise known as the basement--but I won't use it unless it is a life-or-death situation.
