I looked up from my reading, puzzled. "What butter?" "I had a partial stick right here, and now it's gone." We hunted around, yet, no butter. I queried the cats, but they revealed nothing. We figured, however, if they'd stolen the butter (and they would if they could, greedy little monsters), that there would have been butter EVERYWHERE. This was the good, organic butter, so we were certainly not willing to just give up.
We looked around a bit more, and with no sign of the butter, we were left scratching our heads and slightly sad that the pricey butter had vanished so thoroughly with no sign. I thought about it, thought about a poem, and then dropped the subject.
Fast forward a few days later. I'm working from home, L has left from a camping trip. During my work breaks, I'm cleaning as I tend to do when he goes out of town. After I finish work, I begin taking out the recycling piled high in the kitchen; I pick up a box to break it down, and LO! the butter has reemerged!
It appears only slightly scarred by the maw of whichever little furry beast knocked it off the cutting board in the first place. It must have fallen in where they could not reach, and thus it remained until I discovered it as I tried to recover from my household neglecting ways.

Otherwise, things were good. Day 5 of the challenge grows a bit easier, and I'm getting into the swing of things. And I gave the new 40 minute interval strength workout online a go, and liked it! Downside: I ate way too many barre3 bars. Next week: snacks will be veggie based.
