Fluff and Fuzz

I’m thinking about giving the cats new nicknames. Fluffy and Fuzzy, or Fluff and Fuzz for short. I just don’t know which cat should get which nickname.

Hipsta-Lily

Robin has been getting most of the blog attention lately so here is a pic of Lily. She wants me to use the Hipstamatic app more often. Okay, Lil. I can do that.

Windy

It is so windy out right now that one of our big metal patio chairs was just blown over. I didn’t think that was possible. One of the bird feeders blew away as well. I don’t see it anywhere. I’m going to have to go outside and see if I can find it along the tree line. I hope the wind doesn’t blow me away, though it might be fun to feel like I’m flying for a few seconds.

The cats are disturbed by the noise of the wind. Just wait until the second contractor of the day shows up and see how much more disturbing that will be to your little feline brains.

Late

I had a million things to do before work this morning, then a million things to do during work, then a million things to do after work… so obviously I was going to oversleep, right?

Frustrated sigh.

Oh well. The big question for Friday mornings these days is do I watch the new episode of Severance while I do my morning exercise, or do I watch the new episode of Yellowjackets. Today I went with Yellowjackets. No spoilers for season three episode five, but if there is one thing that show needs (a lot) more of, it is PJ Harvey music. I started watching Severance (season two episode eight, I think) but I haven’t the faintest clue what’s going on. I’ll finish it before I sleep tonight. Promise.

We had a contractor at the house yesterday. We have another one coming this morning, any minute now, and we have another one coming this afternoon. Things are getting weird around here.

What else was I going to mention this morning? Oh yeah, I woke up at about 4:00am this morning. I think it was the wind that woke me. It was blowing around like a hurricane out there. It was bad enough that it knocked over the bird feeder. I have to fix it, but the ground is still frozen so it might have to wait a little while. It’s March so the thaw out is coming, but it’s not coming soon enough for me.

Today is also the NHL trade deadline. I expect it’s going to be a sad day for Boston Bruins fans as we’re far enough out of the playoff picture that we will be sellers. Here’s hoping for a lot of high draft picks while also hoping that none of my favorite Bruins get dealt away. Fingers crossed.

Apple Music just let me know that there’s a new Bob Mould album released today. I’ll give that a listen while stressing about everything under the sun. Sounds good to me.

The first contractor has arrived. I’d best let him in…………

Hidden

We had a contractor in the house today. The cats did what they always do when there are new people around… they hid. Lily has been hiding in a closet all day. Robin came into the office with me and hung out rather than finding an actual hiding place. I guess she thought that I would protect her. I would have, if need be. Of course I would have.

Thursday Morning

It's only 10am and I'm already thinking today is going to be one of those days where I just start screaming and then can't stop no matter how hard I try.Happy effin' Thursday.

Yup… that’s where my brain lives right now. Here’s a cat pic to try and calm us all down………

Hip Hip Hooray, folks. Yippee Skippee.

Ready for Bed

I think Lily and Robin are ready for bed. Well… they are ready for us to go to bed so they can be super disruptive as we try to sleep. That seems likely.

Archie and Edith

We took our new pre-fab comfy chairs for a spin today. Which chair is Archie’s and which is Edith’s? I don’t remember.

Busy Morning

The work day isn’t even an hour old yet and already my day is insanely busy. What’s up with that?

I haven’t had time, energy, or desire to read about the orange nazi goo’s speech from last night. I’m sure that every word was a lie so who gives a flying fuck what he said. I’m more interested in the Democrat’s reaction, which I am sure was lame and ineffectual. I wish I was being sarcastic, but I am not.

Anyway, here’s a couple of cat pics from earlier this morning to help start your day.
