I am in the office today. I want to go home. I would like to think that the cats are sitting by the windows, watching and waiting for me to come back. It won’t be for 5-6 hours, cats. I’ll get there as soon as I can though.
I Want to Go Home

Robin… Again
I would take a picture of Lily the cat too, but she doesn’t seem to want to hang around with me tonight. Robin is here though, so you get another picture of her… just because.
Photo a Day Challenge
Happy day 152 of the current photo a day challenge. Robin came to visit me in the step son’s room/office space and I took her picture. Enjoy!
Best Photo Ever
I can’t stop laughing at this one.
Cat Hammock Thing
At last! We finally have a cat sitting in that pouch/hammock type thing on the new cat tree! Success!
She looks very uncomfortable, and she was wagging her tail in annoyance, but she’s in there!
New Location
Almost everything in the living room is in a new location, including the new cat tree. Ironically, the one thing that hasn’t moved is the old cat tree.

Robin the kitty,
At the vet’s office today.
She was one sad cat.
Clean Bill of Health
Robin is home from the vet. Everything went fine. Just like her daughter, Lily three days ago, she was given a clean bill of health. Her shots are up to date and her claws have been trimmed.
All is well with both cats. We will book another check up for about a year from now. Until then, let’s not pull that carrier/prison out of storage again.
Happy healthy cats day.
Here We Go Again
Vet appointment: Take Two.
Random Thursday Thoughts
The first random thought on this fine Thursday afternoon is that it actually is Thursday and not Friday or Saturday. I mentioned in a post a couple of days ago that my inner calendar/clock is a mess this week and I am not quite sure why, but I was convinced all day Tuesday that it was Thursday, and then I was also convinced all day Wednesday that it was Thursday. Now that it actually is Thursday I can’t decide if my brain is convinced that it is Friday or Saturday, which doesn’t make sense because I don’t work on Saturdays but I’ve been working all day today and still at times I’ve felt like it was Saturday.
My brain is broken. Here’s a cat to make it feel better…
Most work days fine me playing podcasts through the Apple HomePod that’s next to my desk in the new office space in my step son’s room. The last couple of days have been different. I’ve been listening to music. Today has been a playlist made up of all of Peter Gabriel’s original, non-soundtrack, non-cover/tribute records both as a solo artist and with Genesis. I made this playlist a few days ago with the idea being I would shuffle it. Today I started from the first track of his first solo record and let it run. The transition from his second record to his third is utterly stunning. The first two records are good. Not great, but good. The third… it’s weirder, it’s a totally different sound/approach/feel, and it is so infinitely better than what he did in the few years before it that it made my head spin a little. I just started album number five… So… I think it’s safe to say it is the masterpiece of his solo career and again the improvement is dazzling.
Here’s a cat to help you appreciate Peter Gabriel the freakin’ legend…
It is January 25th today. It is 50 degrees outside. I actually went outside without a jacket on this morning. Granted, my shoes sank into the mud field that once was my yard, but other than that it was nice. This time of year the air can actually be painful if you go outside for a couple of quick minutes and are not bundled up. Today did not hurt at all.
Okay, that will do for random thoughts as my lunch break ends. I have some paperwork to finish up today and then I am making hamburgers for dinner. My wife made that request last night and I am more than happy to oblige.
Happy Thursday afternoon, everyone… assuming it actually is Thursday. Who knows, right?
