Rain!

Awoke this morning to the sound of rain and gray skies.
Couldn’t have been happier.

Another week, another kitten accident
Data continues to test my limits. His latest trick is knocking down the bathroom trash and playing with used Q-tips. Continues to balance his faults by being cute for five minutes a day. Purrs and all. Awwww. Data STOP!

I didn’t go into a single one in the [...]

Hope I wake up

I hope I wake up on time.

I love the smell of procrastination in the morning

I wake up at 5:30. There are no cats in bed. I think that’s a problem. I entice Data to come sleep with me. Instead he purrs for a few minutes, lulls me into the thought that he might just settle down and sleep for once.
Wrong.
