Just a bad year
November 2, 2005

I think 2005 is turning out to just be a bad year. We've had more deaths in our circle of family, friends and pets. There was also a hurricane, but thankfully we didn't get damage.

A tree limb missed daddy's car by about three inches, but that was about as exciting as it got around here. The lights flickered once but they never really went out. Do you want to know what the weirdest thing about the hurricane was? When it started it was over 80 degrees outside. When it ended, it was in the lower 50s! How strange was that? Apparently a cold front was moving in and that helped it go through so fast. It was mighty cold especially with all of the rain. Mommy got out my wool blanket when she saw my fur all fluffed up.

At least I haven't started sitting on the stove top while the oven was on. I used to do that all the time when I was a kitten. I used to do a lot of stuff when I was a kitten. I could jump from the floor to the fridge with ease. I could open the fridge and get inside without anyone knowing. Now, my age is creeping up on me. I'm 8 and I feel it. Where's my walker? That reminds me of something.

You won't believe what my mother did to me the other day? She put a shrug on me. My front paw has been bothering me now that it is getting colder. So, she had some extra wool and decided to crudely make a shrug for me. She said she was bored, but I think she's just losing her mind! Either way, I walked away after screaming at her, flopped on the floor and flat out refused to move until she took it off. It seemed that a silent protest was in order. It worked and she promptly took it off of me. I thankfully, haven't seen it since!

I think I shall go seek my revenge on her. She has two balls of yarn on the floor that look like then need to be tangled. Oh yes, this will be the perfect revenge. After that is done I shall seek ice cream! Night Diary.
