The Boston Bruins just snapped a six game losing streak by snatching victory from the jaws of defeat with 1.2 seconds left in overtime. Sigh of relief.
Let’s celebrate the win with some random pictures of cats taken at various points across this fine snowy Saturday.
Here’s Lily looking all stately and regal as well (see the post from earlier today to know what I am talking about here). If Robin is queen of the realm then Lily, her daughter, is a princess of the realm.
Stately Miss Robin Sparkles, looking like the Queen of the Realm that she is.
I’m not sure why but the two cats have spent almost the whole work day so far in the room with me. They are just hanging out and being all mellow.
There are three pictures here and they were all taken hours apart from each other. Lily and Robin are just sacking out in here with me. It’s pretty cool.
I do have a theory as to why they are spending time with me rather than spending time with my wife, Jen. She actually tried trimming their claws. She got a couple of Robin’s last night and a couple of Lily’s this morning. I think they might be trying to avoid her a little bit.
You can try, cats, but those claws are getting trimmed eventually. Sooner rather than later, I guarantee.
There may be time for me to play my guitar tonight. Not only that, I may have an opportunity to play through an amp at ear bleeding volume. Nice, huh?
How much do you want to bet that I’ll sit on the new couch watching television instead? I have zero motivation for anything right now. No motivation at all.
This cat 100% looks like I feel. She is absolutely my spirit animal right now.
My step son, Harry, will be proud of me. I just finished watching Better Call Saul. He really wanted me to watch it. He was raving about it all the time. Now I’ve watched the whole series and he can finally talk to me about it without worrying about spoilers.
FYI, it’s as good as everyone says it is. Go watch it.
Subject change. I mentioned that I bought a few new guitar pedals over the last week. I haven’t had a chance to try them out yet. I’m debating whether I want to integrate them into the board I use at home, or should I make a brand new pedal board instead. I’m leaning toward a new board. Just for a while at least. Just for schnitzengiggles.
Subject change. We have a couch delivery scheduled for this morning. The delivery window they gave me is pretty long. It extends into my work day and it overlaps two scheduled meetings. Here’s hoping we get lucky and the truck gets here early enough to not mess anything up.
Subject change. Our mouse hunting cats had a target last night. We woke up in the middle of the night to see them chasing a gross little teeny tiny rodent around. At the time, the little bastard got away. We don’t see any signs of the prick this morning, but the cats are clearly still on high alert. We live in the woods. One of the biggest rivers in New England runs smack through our town. Mice are a part of life. Still… go get the little home invading asshole, cats. Do your job. Protect your house.
Okay. Time to go start the day. That delivery truck is going to be here… eventually.
Apparently the cats pried open the door to the cellar and went downstairs even though I tell them every single day that cats are not allowed in the cellar.
Man, what a couple of jerks! Bad kitties! Bad!
2.5 hours left in the work day. To reiterate the sentiment of a blog post from earlier today, I want to go home. Blah!
I want to go home. I’m in the office, 44 miles away. Tonight I want to cook dinner for my beautiful bride and then move some furniture around to make room for a new couch. I got seven hours of sleep last night so I am not terribly tired right now (and it feels weird) so I know I will have the energy to pull it all off. I just wish I were at home so I could just punch out of work and do it all without having the long drive home wedged into the middle of everything. Blah.
Here’s another cat photo that I took this morning before I left for work just because Robin the cat is adorable and she was very willing to pose for the camera today.
Unrelated question… the band Facebook chat left off with hoping we could all get together at some point after the first weekend in January. The first weekend in January is now over. How long should I wait before I start the discussion up again? How soon is too soon? Should I wait three days as if it were a kind of first date thing? Do the same stupid rules apply? I don’t want to sound too eager even though I am SUPER eager to get the band moving again. I want to play. I want to gig. I want, want, want.
Robin wishes everyone a happy first day back to normal after the chaos that was the holidays.
Of course she can do that because all she has on her agenda today is sleeping and being adorable. The little show off.
I wanted to go outside and take some pictures around town with my new 120 film camera. Unfortunately the weather forecast was correct. It’s 23 degrees out and… well… I just don’t wanna. Cold weather is a jerk.
Have a cat instead.
