what a weird morning

Sarah is visiting her mom and sister in California this week while she's on Spring Break. I'm still stuck in school until next week, so I'm home holding down the fort. Sarah and I have some set routines that we always follow in the mornings, and Sarah's absence is really confusing Barney.

I woke up this morning and did the normal routine (turned off the alarm and let Barney outside to use the bathroom, etc.). When Barney and I came back into the room so I could put my contacts in, he burst though the door ahead of me (like usual) so he could go and say good morning to Sarah.

When she wasn't standing near the bed like she usually is, he looked in the bathroom. She weren't there. Hmm... He popped up on two legs to look for her on her side of the bed. He looked suspiciously at her stuffed dog and pillow, as if to say, "What you have done with the woman?". He looked at me, confused. An idea spread across his face. He went over to my side of the bed and popped up on two legs to look for her on my side of the bed. The stuffed dog and the pillow still weren't giving him any answers.

He wasn't pleased.
