Mini vacation was chock full of sleep and True Blood

Today’s the last day of my mini vacation. Boo! It’s been relaxing. I meant for the weekend to be a writing fest, but I ended up sleeping a lot instead. By sleep, I mean hibernation style sleep. I’d be in the middle of doing something, like writing, and then I’d blink and be asleep. It was unreal. I did write some though, just not as much as I had been planning. Guess I really needed the sleep. »

Ruki beached in the window

I realized it’s been a while since I posted a Ruki pic. So of course I have to fix that! She’s been zonked out in the window all afternoon: And when I got closer, she looked up and her disheveled, sleepy-eyed, “why are you bothering me now” expression is too cute. Have a happy day!

A return to writing

ZOMG! I. Am. Actually. WRITING. Really. Not just talking about how I need to be doing it either. Typing words n’ stuff. Snoopy Dance time! I had been on this weird writer’s block/exhaustion thing for about 2 years now. The first year I was chronically sick and a walking zombie from what later turned out to be a gluten allergy. Can I just say that I love when my doctors change my diet and make me sicker. »

Ruki watching the snow

She was really focused on something out that window. Ruki spent some time today sitting in that window meowing at the snow. I’m not all that sure what that was about. I also don’t get why she loves this window so much. It’s lower than the others so that may be it. But this is her view: How much can she really see? Perhaps she finds safety in the fire escape keeping her hidden? Not sure. Another »

Behold the power of catnip

Ruki is pretty much stoned out of her gourd here (Oh, dear me — I just used another dreadful cliché. ). Yep. Catnip heaven. She stayed in that position for a long time too. Silly cat. Needless to say, she’s enjoying her evening. Oh, and on a totally different note, I’ll add this one too: That’s how she spent her Sunday afternoon. She crawled in and zonked out. Normally she only sits in there for a few »

Ruki chats with the frog

I got a new humidifier (yes, a frog! ) and I set it up on a footstool to make sure it didn’t leak. Ruki was fascinated by it. She sat like this for a really long time. I kept imagining that she was explaining the rules of her household to it. “The window is mine…that box behind you is mine…the pillow…mine too…well actually, it’s all mine…” Eventually, her attention was called away to the important matter of »

Die, bed, die!

The war against the bed has resumed. I still don’t know what the bed did to warrant such attacks but I’m certain whatever it was, it was dastardly! Here’s how it starts, she wraps her arms around the side, then slips into crazy kick mode. This goes on until the bed gets the upper hand by flipping over her (the nerve!), causing her to dart away toward safety. Then she glares and readies to stalk and attack »

Iz hiding

Ruki had to have her yearly checkup at the vet this weekend. When we got home she fled to  safety under the bed. The only thing is that when she “hides” her feet are usually sticking out. In this case, she felt the need to hold onto her toy but didn’t pull it under the bed with her. She must be of the mindset that if she can’t see you, she’s hidden.
