Mom here: Sheesh. I got up this morning, well, we both did and after alighting to the floor (that is ONE high up bed!!!) A hang fire is a dingleberry. She dropped two off her fluffy tail.
Anyway, got down, she did too...I went from room to room opening blinds, turning on lights where I'd be. (Still dim out at 0615.) Headed down the hallway, and opened up the vertical (caught it this time Dr Bellen!) blinds in the living room. Reversed course and went back down the hall to the computer room and turned on the air purifier. (told you that for a reason.) Headed to the kitchen got the Prime Minister's breakfast courses ready and put down on her placemat. Then my two eggs and coffee. Then, back down the hallway.
She ate in the kitchen, I ate in here reading the mail. Time to get up, get dressed, and be ready to be picked up to go get Micah, our vehicle. He's in the hospital still.
Got up, and trod still barefooted, down the hallway to my room. Got dressed. Had to go through the hallway again to get to the kitchen. What I didn't know was, that I continually stepped barefooted on a hangfire (dingleberry) that Katie laid there for me in the night. I didn't know that. It was as small as a marble. Two of them. When I got back into the kitchen after doing my hair and something for my face, I sat at the kitchen stool and reached for my socks (living by the door with my shoes.) I crossed one hind leg over the other and lo! What did I see? Well, I saw that I had trod barefooted through the minefield of 2 hangfires enough to squish it/them all over my bare heel and it had dried to a tough finish too! That was hard to wash off!
I guess Katie missed her introoder targets last night because of the hang fires she experienced. SIGH.

My goodness, that was quite the minefield you had to go through. Nice work sweet Katie!
Dearest Katie Isabella,
What an adventure early morning when our mind is not–yet clear and quick to observe.
But you got it out of your socks and hopefully Micah is home from the hospital...
Hugs,
Mariette + Kitties
Yuck. I'd rather have deposits from the other end. Alas, Katie tries her best to put them where they belong. Maybe.
Oh, dear. We call them "dingleberries" and don't like them a bit, either.
Early morning excitement, a little too much of it, though! Hopefully you did get Micah back!
Katie is good to keep your on your toes by putting down an obstacle
TBT: Wow, a lot there. Done the "stepped in and dried" on the shoes. Soaking the soles in the back room sink helps. I wash so many washclothes these days. Lori still had :output" problems. I've learned to stare at the floor as I walk first thing in the morning.
And "morning isn't the same as for you. More like 11 am, LOL! Some people like getting up in the dark, I need bright light.
For poops and hairballs, I have a squeegee cut to fit a dustpan. Kaboom works well for cleaning.
Oh dear, that was not a good way to start the day!
Ooh, these hangfires must be painful. Hopefully there are no lingering boo-boos. You have to have a talk with Katie Isabella and tell her you did not appreciate it. Truth be told I don't even know what a hangfire is. Is it local to where you live?
Ehm.... what is a hangfire, please?
Purrs,
The Chans
talk about an obstacle course!
my stars katie but if I haven’t had a hang fire or 100 in my day
but usually found when they have become a fixture to the carpet
or can be tossed as a deadly weapon I daresay so lets celebrate and
head east with handbags in tow with hugs from dai$y 🌸💙💚
What a way to start yer day! But now we see you have very clean feet
for steppin' out fur the day, mol. Katie, yer a pro fur droppin'
things off fur yer mommy.
oh my cod, how embare-assing! sumtimes that happens here but wif dee swiffer duster smearing it on dee floor
OOPS!!! That happens here sometimes too.
What a start to the day but you survived
Oh Katie Isabella you should at least try to not leave the landmines in the middle of the floor. I guess it would have been worse if left in your walking shoes and you didn't discover it until you were into your walk.
KI you look lovely on red
Hugs Cecilia
Thanks for the chuckle. Sorry, I laughed. :) We call them Klingons. XO
Sounds like Mom might need a minesweeper before she walks around with bare feet, Katie.
We humans do not walk around barefoot here. lol Blessings, my dear.
