We'll take a taxi

that might be best.

 

[Nirvanadragones]

that might be best.

Backseat?

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Backseat?

Yes, the cabdriver might not like me sitting on the wrong side of the car.

Lap dulcimer? I have a psaltry (that needs to be restrung but I can't get wire) and I play recorder. I've got a closet full of costumes, too (every weekend for 7 weeks, one needs a change)

April...April....What's in april? AB, oh man of the schedule?

You can get psaltry wire here or here. I'm just excited to see someone else with a psaltry. I get the strangest looks when I say I have one.

 

[Ravishing]

mmm, hugs and hot chocolate...

She makes me laugh. And not in a good way.

I missed you too, Lucy girl. But there is no need for you to show your feline appreciation of our return by sacrificing baby birds and laying them on the carpet next to my desk.

The love of a cat

It's 10:45am and I'm not tired. I haven't slept all night. What is wrong with me?

Nothing...you're young..

did you have lots of caffeine?

The love of a cat

Oh, I adore them. Worship them. This was just a little too much to deal with. It's the third time she has done this in 24 hours. It makes me sad, although I know it's natural.

Half dead baby birds are way to vulerable to ignore and move on.

Oh, I agree....but for some reason cats feel that that is a way of showing their affection. *shakes head*

Hi, Ari. I have a friend who gets a full night's sleep every other night, takes cat naps. People have different styles in this as in all things - don't worry about trying to slavishly follow the standard model, find one that works for you.


re. Kitties - they are endearing, but I feel sorry for all the birdies out there in the world. You just flew 5,000 miles from Brazil, are weak with exhaustion and hunger, take a break for a minute, and WHAM, fat-Freddie the spoiled housekat whose been enjoying soft couches and three-squares a day happens along for his daily entertainment, and you are history.

Sorry, Vana, that is probably not a very effective way to sympathize. Maybe they were just pigeons.

Lucy still has a general sense of what is acceptable. She bats them around a little and the leaves them somewhere near where I am.

Kahlo, my cat in South Africa, believes in strategically placing different offerings on the floor next to my bed - often...

I've always been a night person, but this is weird!
And caffeine, I just started pouring it down my throat.

So pleased about Vana and Sam that I can't dwell on my own guilt and pain anymore. A smile is back on my face.

My Ode is NOT well-received.

*sigh*

What Ode, dear Jammies?

Something else we have in common (aside from liking women).

Excessive heat warning? In a desert?

I just love it when they post these on the weather website:

AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM MST /10 AM PDT/ THIS MORNING TO 8 PM MST /8 PM PDT/ THIS EVENING. AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM MST /10 AM PDT/ TO 8 PM MST /8 PM PDT/ SATURDAY.

VERY HOT WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TODAY AND SATURDAY. THE FORECAST HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR TODAY AND SATURDAY ARE 115 DEGREES AT SKY HARBOR IN PHOENIX...AND 116 DEGREES IN YUMA AND IN THE EL CENTRO/IMPERIAL AREA.

IT WOULD BE WISE TO COMPLETE AS MUCH OUTDOOR ACTIVITY AS POSSIBLE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE SUN AND HEAT ARE LESS INTENSE. (That would be good, if it wasn't 100F already. Too late for outdoor chores. The lawn will have to wait another day....or two.)

DURING PERIODS OF EXCESSIVE HEAT... INDIVIDUALS CAN SUFFER HEAT- RELATED ILLNESS WHEN THE BODY TEMPERATURE SYSTEM CAN NO LONGER COOL ITSELF. IF YOU PLAN TO BE OUTSIDE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING...STAY IN THE SHADE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND DRINK ABUNDANT AMOUNTS OF WATER. WEAR LIGHT-COLORED AND LOOSE-FITTING CLOTHING. IF YOU WEAR A WIDE-BRIMMED HAT...THE HEAD AND BODY WILL BE MUCH COOLER. STOP OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES... DRINK LOTS OF WATER OR OTHER NON- ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES... AND IF POSSIBLE...SPEND MORE TIME IN AIR- CONDITIONED OR WELL-VENTILATED PLACES.

Water, light clothes, shade, hat, air-conditioning......kind of obvious, don't you think.

My "Ode to a Cucumber Sandwich." Happy birthday, here's a 4.3. I'm going to shush now.

Whaddya mean, not well received? 4.3 is still above average, and pretty darn good for a poetry score, so stop worriting, woman.

Poetry scores are NEVER high as prose. The coveted red 'H', is much harder to achieve in that category. Believe me.
