I came home from work to find her lying on the couch, wrapped up in a blanket, watching TV.
Poor thing, I thought. She must not be feeling well.
I made sure my voice was properly hushed: "How are you?"
She popped right up into a sitting position, her hair arching off her head like a halo of dandelion fluff.
"Oh, just fine! I'm a little tired." (I love the way she says "tired." It sounds like "TIE-uhd.") "My sister and I went down to Mohican Casino and then wandered around for a few hours." ("OW-uhs.") "We walked about four miles. That's a lot when you're not used to it."
"That is a lot. But wait. . .you went to a casino? What were you doing there?"
She looked at me like I was a little slow.
"Playing the slot machines, of course. I lost all the money I gambled."
"Oh," I said. "I'm sorry."
She laughed and waved me away. Kay laughs a lot. She makes me feel like a very amusing person.
I think we amuse each other.

In other news, Kay has finished her puzzle and introduced me to CSI.
Also, I had an interview at Dean College. More about that later. . .

And you both amuse me. :-)

P.S. All her money, as in ALL her money, or all her money as in all the money she was using to play the slots? I'll assume the latter. :-)
