Beautiful kitties! I'm sorry your neighbor was this careless. Are the cats ok?
Yes, they were fine. But if I had been really delayed coming home, they would have been completely out of water, which is just so dangerous. And what if my A/C had gone out?

I am not so interested in the neighbor's sure-to-be-lame excuse on this. What I am most interested in is the update that is sure to come where she asks another favor. Since her favor asking seems to be escalating this should be oh so good.
Sorry, no update because still no response from my neighbor.
I have also learned from this thread to NEVER mess with @cse1960!
If she forgot she would've responded to your text with an OMFG I am so sorry.
she sucks
Right? She's got young kids, maybe something happened or things got crazy and she totally forgot. Shit happens. If she had replied begging forgiveness and brought over flowers and chocolate I'd be more forgiving. But to totally ignore you is not cool.
Our teenage babysitter bailed on us one night and when I texted him he immediately apologized a million different ways and took complete responsibility for forgetting. He even offered to sit for free another night. I was actually impressed...that's how you handle a fuck-up.
I would be at her door, knocking until someone answered. Upon opening of the door, I would stick out my hand and say give my my key. Once I had it in hand, I would (brightly) say "Don't ever ask me for a favor again. I am busy." and turn around and leave.
Can you go next door and just talk to her face to face?
I can - I just haven't been home yet today and I'm having some girls over to watch the Emmys tonight. But tomorrow I will find her "out of concern that something bad has happened."

I wish I had the balls to do this! I'm working on my conflict avoidance but this terrifies me!
