a ball of yawn

Me-ow-my-oh!

Me-usings and Me-emories

14 March 2019 - My day started too early, and I have only myself to blame.  The shorter peep would have gladly remained in bed, but I insisted that she arise... and now I feel the need to curl up.  Perhaps I should hold responsible the miniature peep in the frame, who without words demonstrated the rejuvenating properties of a nap.  But no paw needs to be pointed:  I wanted a snooze, I needed a snooze, I am taking a snooze.  "The office manager will return your call as soon as he can."

13 March 2019 - The shorter peep must enjoy documenting my naps.  If I had self-esteem issues (which I don't), I would take offense at her seeming insistence that I am a sluggard.  I figure this obsession of hers must bring some level of pleasure, so who am I to deny her?  We cats know how to handle attention, both laudatory and critical, i.e., assume a mysterious air, perhaps purr, until the peep leaves us be.  Besides, is it not possible, here overlooking our north flank, that I am hard at work protecting our domicile?

12 March 2019 - I see that we made it through another Monday!  Neither of my peeps is known for springing from the gate.  I am the most morning-oriented of the lot, but then I am a cat, and we are known for our nocturnal antics.  However I sympathize with their start-of-day lethargy... mine just arrives post-breakfast.  And I have been known to sleep the afternoon away, in the same spot, in the same position.  So on balance I probably achieve less in any twenty-four-hour period than do they, but then life isn't a race.

11 March 2019 - My guard duty is simpler if the watched are unaware that I'm watching.  So doing surveillance from the screened porch has many things in its favor:  besides offering concealment, it provides an elevated view of three flanks and protects me from bugs.  The latter seems not worth mentioning, except a distracted sentry can't do an optimal job.  And why should the desire for comfort be a negative anyway?  I wear a hair shirt, but that is as far as it goes.

10 March 2019 - For me happiness is all about being warm, so lately I have been purring in contentment.  No longer am I having to seek a patch of sunlight in which to lie, and the freedom to nap wherever has made me giddy.  I stroll the grounds without need to hurry, pause to smell our borders, evict any illicit boarders, and generally enjoy my life.  There certainly are those who like winter (an unfathomable concept but true nonetheless), but their blood must run thicker than mine... or possibly their hearts pump antifreeze.

9 March 2019 - I never was much of a jumper, long or high, so the fact that I am atop the peeps' canoe is due to a helping hand.  Perhaps the shorter peep had seen something that deserved my attention?  Her motive was not explained, but I did my best surveillance to quell her concerns.  Actually I enjoyed the opportunity to investigate up-close an area that before I was only able to walk beneath.  Things definitely looked different from the other side... which is often the case when we move ourselves from our familiar comfort zone.

8 March 2019 - Finally weather that invites one outside!  The shorter peep and I spent some glorious time in the yard yesterday.  I admit that my attention to detail had slipped during the miserable bout of cold temperatures, but after a thorough inspection we are back to a green alert.  And as well we should be, for green is the predominant color at the moment:  new leaves are appearing (while the last of the old fall to the ground), tendrils are pushing up from the earth.  I have even ingested a handful of the young shoots:  eat your vegetables.
