Time Bites

All night, I've had the fan blowing in the window, and the room is still too hot for Sluggo. Will he never be satisfied? I stay up way too late waiting to do something. My schedule is so screwed up now!

All summer, the older cat spent her nights indoors. Now that the mornings are chilly outdoors, she is going out onto the porch to watch the world emerge from darkness. This morning, the air is like water which has had the tiniest bit of milk stirred into it -- if milk were blue. It doesn't qualify as haze, but there is something there which denies complete clarity. It reminds me of my thoughts. I wonder what the cat is thinking as she watches it? It probably reminds her of the attention I pay to her feeding schedule.

I will go to bed now, but I will probably not get to sleep for another two hours. That's the way it has been going for the last couple of weeks. I'd want a do-over for the last month, but then I'd have to go through that weather again. Unthinkable. Oh, there go those screeching blue jays! Say good-night, Sluggo.

Thwarted!

I was hoping to get out to a store today, but it didn't work out. I'm running out of stuff. I'm out of Tangerine-Orange Zinger tea! That's an essential ingredient in my customary summer iced drink. Must go shopping before Monday, as that is a holiday. Belabor Day, I think. It's just as well I didn't get a chance to go this evening, though, because I stink. Not unwashed stink, since I shower frequently, but the new issue of Details arrived in the mail today, and it's full of those perfume ads. Yeah, I know, guys like to call it cologne, but it's perfume. Just carrying the thing from the mailbox into the house makes me reek like a singles bar.You may be wondering why I even have a subscription to Details. That's a story I don't have time to tell right now. Someday I'll get around to it, Sluggo willing. Right now, I need to go take another shower. Oh, the hectic pace of life! :-P
