The SO and I had an argument Friday night. I tried to avoid it, but couldn’t. Yesterday morning she took her phone, wall charger, laptop and cord, and drove off. I’ve not heard from her in more than 24 hours. I suspect she plans to move out. I suspect that she’s waiting until I’m not here (tomorrow) to come get the cat and her things. The cat keeps going to her room, as if to look for her. ☹ ---

I presume you’ve tried to call or e-mail her? ---
