Since we got the boys, I can no longer keep pens laying around. They LOVE pens and would very much like to nom on them. The pen caddie that used to sit on my desk is now on the top of a bookshelf and the one pen I use is in my desk drawer. But hey, they're a writer's cats, so the fact that they love pens should come as no surprise.
I'm trying not to think about the fact that this book I'm writing has no clear direction and I have no clue where I'm going. (And I'm pretty sure that it's awful.) Thank goodness for edits, eh?
I woke up late again today. Of course, late for me is 6am. Derp. I can't remember the last time I slept until 8. I slept until 7 once last year. It was a weekend, so yay. When I was a teen, I could sleep until 10 in the summer and that was awesome. Oh, well. Getting older sure does have its quirks, eh?
I saw a fox in the neighbor's yard on Monday.
Gah, the heat. I mean, it's been a lot cooler these last couple of days because of the storms, but it's jacking back up again. :shrug: It is July, after all, and this is generally a hotter region than either Michigan or Colorado, so I guess it's not unexpected. Still, we do like to gripe about the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter. It's a national pastime. ;o)
Why does pastime only have one S? Since it's used to pass the time, shouldn't it have two Ss?
Don't get me started on the upcoming election or we'll be here all day. Okay, just one thing... if a person is not mentally sharp enough to be held responsible for their actions, then how can they possibly be sharp enough to hold the fate of a nation in their hands? Jus' sayin'.
Sawyer is an attention whore. And he generally prefers negative attention. I try to give loads of attention when he's being good, but he enjoys getting into trouble. He actually purrs harder when he gets caught being naughty. Silly boy. Finn on the other hand is such a lover muffin. Yesterday morning, all he wanted was pets. And when I stopped, he'd head-bonk me until I started up again. And when I tried to go do something else, he followed me - head-bonking and rubbing against my legs all the way. Also, Silly boy.
Today's post has been a kitty sandwich, I guess. Start with cats, end with cats, with layers of other stuff in the middle. Hope you enjoyed it.

Wait. It's Thursday?
ReplyDeleteLoki very seldom wants pets and whne he does, he wants them from my foot so he can grab it and bite my toes. Pete only wants pets when he wants pets or whenever both of my hands are busy. 🙄
Yes, the heat is back and yes, it is a national pastime in these parts.
I kept thinking my book was better than I remembered and then I hit the glitch. I have not yet figured out the fix which is harshing my groove. I either need to find the proper place for that scene and another scene to take its place, or I need to just cut it compoletely. Gah.
Yesterday was a net loss of 4 words. Which is not a bad thing. LOLOL
I'm feeling the need for a Starbucks run. Also, there are bonus stars to be had so I should probably put on some real clothes.
You know it's hot outside when sun-loving outdoor cat wants in and perches on the cat tree where the AC vent blows on him.
And there you go. More cat bookends. 😉
