Saturday Caturday

I had a migraine yesterday & today, while I didn’t have that head pain, I was just tired out from the medication & from yesterday’s pain. It’s never a one-day event.

I went to bed early yesterday & all the cats were with me. I woke a few hours later & they were gone. I went looking for them ~ the way you do ~ just wanting to know where they were.

Radar & Bobby were in the fort.

Chloe was on the afghan on the oblong ottoman in the living room ~ that’s her favorite spot at the moment.

I went back to bed & a few minutes later, Chloe joined me ~ she crawled in next to me & started purring & fell asleep in my arms. I can’t think of a better cure for anything that ails you.

Saturday Caturday

I was up between 11 p.m. & 2 a.m. writing & I slept late ~ the cats tried valiantly to get me up at 4:30 & 5 ~ because I’m usually up by 5 by the latest ~ but all I did was get up & feed them & used the bathroom & went back to bed. It’s so nice & cool now ~ I had the windows open ~ there was a sweet breeze blowing through my bedroom & the neighborhood was quiet like it always is on weekend mornings.

I slept all the way until 7:30 a.m. ~ which is really late for me. I was alone in my room ~ the cats had abandoned me. I went out in the living room & there was Radar & Bobby in the big easy chair ~ Bobby was licking Radar’s head ~ it was so sweet to see.

Chloe was on the floor, watching them.

Of course, Chloe wanted to be part of the Radar & Bobby love fest & she tried to muscle her way in ~ I wanted to get a picture of the three of them but Radar wasn’t having any part of Chloe on the easy chair ~ he jumped off & went over to the couch.

I went into the kitchen & made coffee. Another Saturday with the cats.

Your Daily Dose ~ Irony

Irony

Cuz he’s not gonna fight for Ukraine ~ he’s gonna do everything he can to ensure Russia ends up with all that real estate ~ like he told Putin he would.

Here at home, he’s gonna show his base how tough he is on all the non-white people of this country & all the cities where the liberals live & MAGA! MAGA! MAGA!

Irony? What’s that? You gotta have a sense of humor to have a sense of irony & Trump has NEITHER.

Saturday Caturday

It’s barely past noon & it’s already 87 degrees. They say that today’s temps will break records. I’m so sick of this weather. I long for fall & winter.

The cats are doing what cats do in hot weather ~ nothing. They ran around all night ~ well, Chloe did & she got the other two going. Of course, it was a full moon, so both Chloe & Bobby were out of their minds. Radar has never been affected by the full moon, but he couldn’t sleep with Chloe attacking him & trying to get him to move from my side. She wants that spot. She wants to be my #1 cat. Radar won’t let that happen.

The thing is, there is no #1 cat in the house. Unless it’s ME.

Saturday Caturday ~ alas, again on a Sunday

I started physical therapy on Friday, to address the arthritic pain in my knees & the therapist told me that the reason my knees ache so badly isn’t because of the arthritis in my knees ~ it’s because of my hips. He gave me a pretty good workout. I have exercises to do here at home ~ nothing particularly new to me ~ I’ve been working out since I was a teen. However, yesterday I was so sore & out of it, I spent most of the day on the couch & I went to bed at shortly after I had my dinner because I just wanted to lie flat.

But today is the third of the month! & do you know what that is?

It’s Chloe’s birthday!

She’s FIVE MONTHS OLD today!

She’s turned the house upside down ~ she’s a complete & total terrorist ~ but oh, I couldn’t live without her now. She’s my little girlfriend 🩷

Your Daily Dose

It’s happening here now. In Western New York. In MY neighborhood. In a store in which I often shop.

I’ve noticed that when I take a Lyft now, if the driver is an immigrant, he is always very friendly ~ not that this is a problem ~ but the driver always tells me how happy he is in the United States ~ to be living in Western New York ~ how happy his kids are in their school ~ how much better their lives are here ~ compared to wherever they came from.

I don’t doubt that this is all true ~ but I find this very sad.

I find this sad, because it seems like these drivers are going out of their way to make me happy ~ it’s like they’re protesting too much ~ like they don’t want me to get out my phone & call the authorities ~ or something like that.

Compare this to American drivers ~ who barely say a word to me. Or if they do talk, it’s MAGA BS. I’ve heard them tell me what bad drivers immigrants are ~ as they run red lights & barely stop at stop signs.

Yes ~ it’s very sad.

I hate what the US has turned into.
