Head in the clouds, behind on the ground, feet in the water

Katrina Swete
Her quarters
After putting her new pet in quarantine
------------------------------------------------------------
Still wearing a large smile from finding out she could keep her cat, PITA,
Katrina adjusted her room for the new arrival. She couldn't have been happier.
"Katrina," Holly's voice startled her.
Katrina looked up, gleaming at the head. "Yes, Hol?"
Holly seemed surprised. The computer wasn't used to that nickname, only
Holly. "There's been a spill in the promenade. You're needed. Also, could you
pick up all the papers on the promenade floor. The race for new promenade
direction has left a lot of ballots all about."
"I'm on my way," Katrina responded.
As she threw on her work overalls, Katrina started to think. I wonder if
McKenzie's sells cat food, cat litter and all that stuff? Why should they?
Pets aren't supposed to be on Blue Dwarf, but who knows! It is a fine store.
When I'm done this job, I think I'll head over there and see.
