The topic: motivation badly needed

----------------------------------------------

I’ve got about a two inch stack of invoices I need to enter and I just can’t do it. I just can’t get started. I’ve piddled the majority of the day away cleaning my ears, picking at my Handsome bump on my finger, putting on Blistex, reading the ingredients on an old can of Diet Coke.

Well, I did reconcile the company checking.  From last month. 

Oh, and I got my shoe stretchers in the mail, so of course I had to get those in my shoes. To stretch them. 

I’m supposed to be finished by the time Brian gets home.  Ha.  Pretty unlikely at this point.

The topic: Rude awakening

----------------------------------------------

I overslept this morning.  I got up and let the cats out around four, then went back to sleep.  I didn’t wake up until after six.  And it was a barking dog that woke me up.

I jumped out of bed and started doing the morning stuff I do every morning.  Feed KittyMeeze, open the garage door, open the garage blinds, check on all of the cats and make sure they’re all still with us, one way or the other.

I couldn’t find Handsome.  I couldn’t hear Handsome.

I couldn’t find Little Bit.

I panicked.  I checked all around the pool, and with rapidly beating heart, looked in the pool.  No cat.  I looked under the pool pump, in the catnip, in the cathouses, no Little Bit, no Handsome to be found.  I looked on the bank by the doghouse.  Not Handsome, no Little Bit.

Brian had gotten up and dressed and yelled out that he found Handsome. He was in the cat sleep center in the living room.  I’d looked there, but I guess he must have been curled back in a corner of one of the beds, it was dark in there and I just missed him.

About then, I spied Little Bit on the bank, laying in the pine needles, fairly close to the gate.  She found herself a new spot.

Well, good.  Brian told me to get my shoes on and we’d go walking and I said I wasn’t walking today. 

I already got my heart rate up.

The topic: Pilling a cat

----------------------------------------------

I gave Handsome a pill yesterday.  But he likes to try to keep his mouth closed and sometimes when I put the pill down to his throat, I get scratched by one of his teeth.

This happened yesterday and now the site of the scratch is swollen. I’ll be soaking it in hot water with dissolved epsom salts this morning.  That helps draw out infection.

Daggum cats.

The topic: My mom’s silly cat

----------------------------------------------

Bobby is a little hunter.  He’s always bringing home some sort of rodent. 

The other morning, he brought home a mouse.  He was playing with it on the porch and mom said the mouse had slowed down considerably.  So, Bobby is sitting back watching the mouse and a blue jay comes along and sits on the railing. 

Bobby looks at the bird, then back at the mouse.  Which one, which one?  Should he go after the catch he already has or take his chances with a fresh victim? 

While he’s considering the options, the blue jay swooped down, grabbed the mouse and took off.

Mom said Bobby looked very confused. biglaugh
