Got back about 9:30 this morning to a normally warm house with lights .... bliss! It was a Godsend to stay at Carolyn's, but there's no place like home. Leia behaved very well, I'm proud of her; she had me a bit worried at not using the litter box, but heard a scratching noise about 2 am and there she was! I had trouble sleeping .... strange bed, soft pillow .... when we got home Leia went all over the house, apparently checking to see if everything was still OK... ?? She had a second breakfast and is dozing on the radiator again. Quite an experience for both of us!
I used Carolyn's computer briefly to check mail, etc. (didn't want to tie up her phone too long ... she's dial-up too .....) and discovered I don't really like the laptop. The built in keyboard is too close to the screen IMO, at least it made typing awkward for me. Good to find that out if and when I get a new computer.
Anyhow, good to be back, and thank all of you for the lovely messages!
