Well, whatever that is. I seem to be burning it.
Why is it that I have to think up, do the graphics, and eventually write my blog when it’s almost midnight and I’m about to DROP. Not that a kitty ever puts out much exertion during the day, but seriously, folks, it’s not easy checking out all the pantry doors, the outside piazza and all its cars and students and traffic and police cars and stuff (we’re near a police station but I don’t seen them doing much, ever). And then one has to find one’s food bowl and LEAP tall buildings to get to the bowl and then one finds it is not up to the level one thinks it OUGHT to be and one has to plop down in the middle of all foot traffic in the house to get THEIR attention so that the food bowl will be brought up to par, and then one has to bathe. That, above all else. Cleanliness is next to codliness, they say.
It’s not easy being me. Remember the van Morrison froggy song, It’s Not Easy Being Green? Well, it’s just as hard being black and white, let me tell you. And that white part has to STAY white, okay? You can’t just let things go around here. Maintenance is everything.
So here in Roma it is 23:28, which means 11:28PM which means I am tuckered out and have found a place on the floor where the hot pipes go under the floor to reach the radiators and I think I’ll just stay here all night instead of being mama’s hot water bottle.
A kitty has to have SOME privacy after all.
May all of you have a sweet sleep, too. And may the fires go out in California where mama and papa have lots of friends worried about their homes, and may the weather not be so cold for you who are greeting winter, and may we all get rested up and ready for the end of a crazy and disturbing year and may we all be kind to one another in 2018 and work together for a peaceful world.
It starts with a snooze.
LouLou we feel your pain! My Mom is often up super late (she was last night working on today’s post) but that is cause my Mom wastes too much time during the day MOL. Love, Cody
Now, Cody, is that wasting time thing you are talking about having anything to do with PETTING YOU all day long!
Oops – missed the newsletter this morning! Internet problems with the bad winds and rain – and hey Loulou, my soulmate – it’s not easy being ORANGE either!! But at least I don’t have a combover and a fake tan.
Oh, Mya, you will NEVER have a combover and you already have a perfect tan!!!
It really does start with a snooze, and it normally carries on with a snooze for our ginger cat, Rodger. He seems to sleep nearly all his life away, and no wonder he is just a little bit over-weight.
Thank you for your lovely post, and may 2018 be a fantastic year for everybody.
You are one hard working cat, Loulou.
Yes, sweat and toil sweat and toil, whatever they are….
Loulou,quelle vie de chien !
…
“A crazy and disturbing year”. How right you are.
Well, perhaps we can all make the next one a bit sweeter and full of kindred spirits, despite our political differences. We have so much else in common, with kitties of the world. And we even love doggies!!!
Well, now that you have made us tired from all that, we think we should go to bed too and it’s only 6:29 here.
HEY, at that hour, it’s DARK here and your body says, SLEEP, SLEEP!!!
Well, LouLou, it would be hard to argue with those sentiments ! Happy siesta-ing !
