Goodbye February. Thanks for the rain and brief snow, especially the snow on Mom’s regular days off work so she wouldn’t get into trouble for not being able to drive up the big hill and for being deep enough to convince her driving Dad to work would be silly, too risky, and frankly, downright dangerous. You sure did make things pretty. Let’s do this again next year and with the same timing, okay?

Tell March you already covered the snow requirement for the year and to be gentle bringing on spring. None of that 42 degrees one day, 87 degrees the next nonsense. Tell March to be nice and to take it slow, slow like Pia wondering why on earth anyone would tuck a banana on the warm mat next to her. Tell me you can’t envision seeing the floofy wheels spinning in her head.

02/24/2025 – It’s a Monday

It’s very early this Monday morning and I’m waiting for Mom to give me my kibble snack breakfast. She’s taking longer than usual for some reason . . .

“I’m cleaning up after your brother if you must know. I’ll be there in a minute!”

Usually, she’s good for her word. I don’t know. I’m feeling a little impatient this morning.

Maybe I’ll snooze off a while longer, in case Mom’s more than a minute late. You know how us cats don’t like our routines disrupted and this certainly feels like one of those times.

Mere minutes later . . .

As luck would have it, I did NOT starve but it was touch and go for a minute there. I didn’t think she was ever going to get here. I was so famished I didn’t even mind eating out of whatever bowl my Mom grabbed, this pink bowl, my sister Tessa’s bowl, who has decided she’s above Monday breakfasts and is sleeping in today. Is that a thing now? Napping over kibble breakfast? Why, I think that’s cra-a-z-z-zy thinking!
