In which she sleeps

[zeborah]

Three wonderful hours. (It looks like there were only a couple of little aftershocks during that time, which explains why I wasn't woken.) I dreamed that we were recovering from an earthquake.

The university has photos of the Central Library and says, "Be aware that the clean up operation will be specialised and is potentially hazardous in some places. For example we have library books mixed with window glass [...]" My manager mentioned that the branches might open before Central Library, now I can really see why.

I just saw my cat. She was hesitating about coming inside so I took her food out to her. She looked interested but too nervous to actually settle down and eat properly. (She might have nommed a bit of kibble or two before a noise distracted her.) On reflection I took half the kibble away in case she does manage to gobble it all at once and get sick; it's two days since she last ate here and if she's this nervous now she probably hasn't been thinking about scavenging either.

The buses still aren't running tomorrow.

The local mall looks like nothing ever happened - and so does the library there. Single-storey probably helps, and I think there's just something about the land in this part of town too.

I'm glad the earthquake left you okay! And your kitty, too! Hope she'll settle down enough to come back to you soon.

Seconded!

Thanks! She did eat the kibble I left her, and came inside for a while last night, and even sniffed worriedly around the bedroom; then left again, probably due to continuing aftershocks. So I expect I'll keep seeing her off and on.
