Missing cat

Lavender hasn't shown up for about 36 hours, now. It's not like her, and I've already got posters up around the neighborhood. She hasn't been turned in at our local animal shelter, and the hope that she's just been shut inside the house of some local nine-year-old or another is getting thin. Crossed fingers would be appreciated.

Work update

It's nice to be wanted. In addition to my 40-hour job at a printing company, I've been putting in about 10 hours/week at a local sign shop. The local sign shop would be very happy if I moved up to 30+ hours (which won't happen, for a couple of different reasons -- but they are giving me a raise, and several of my co-workers there have expressed their appreciation for relieving their load).
