Belinda doesn’t feel well this morning. Her chest and her throat hurt. This didn’t happen after the last time, so I wonder if she might be coming down with something. She might have also slipped off her incline in the night, which would make stomach acid come into her throat. It’s difficult for her to sleep on an incline in a hotel. We tried to put pillows under the head of our mattress, but it’s a king size and it was too much for us, so we just put a lot of pillows under her head.

We were supposed to go meet Sen. Markwayne Mullin this morning but we canceled that and instead are just hanging around in the hotel. I’ve been working on the programs for the show at the theater this weekend. She just woke up (it’s almost 11) but hasn’t made any moves to get up yet.

Our dear kitty Nutmeg passed away in the night. Ben gave us the sad news this morning. Nutmeg was pretty old and had been having some health issues so at least she is at peace now. She was a wonderful kitty, and I would say the smartest cat I have ever known.

Nutmeg in her heyday.
