Tidy Cats

Kasey and I canNOT believe our eyes. This computer room is as neat as a pin. Well, almost. There is still a little pile of things to be filed, but the floor is neat, the desk is neat. The present-room doors are closed, The shelves are organized, and Her head is spinning. Once it is neat and tidy, She will want to keep it that way. He will help Her, because He is as neat as She is messy. Don't say I'm messy, Cofs, She said to me. Tell the people who read your stories that I am random. They will know that means messy, but it sounds better. She says She has four decades of keeping a neat desk for Her work to make up for. I am not sure what that means, but it sounds like a long time to me.
So now we can watch the British stories on TV. They love British stories. She always has, but the stories suit Him, as well - especially the old ones.
One thing that has Her chuffed is that DeeDee's girl is getting her things and moving back here. That is such a fun family to know. We are not even nervous when they are here. He and She are so happy with all Their friends. And Their grandkids - Oh, how They love them. And Their cats, I'm glad to say. Well, TTYL, friends.

Old Time Cats

This is what made today a lot of fun. She was going through Her old files and found a big bunch of stuff from when She was a teacher. Most of it She had forgotten about, but some of it is still very useful. She is going to see that it gets to someone who will use it, because it is still good teaching. To tell you the truth, I didn't know what She did when She was a teacher until I saw all those papers. She must have kept those students very busy. One thing I saw was papers that told how to complain in a nice way. She says you should never tell kids they are wrong, or that they are bad. She knows ways to say things in a nicer way. She says kids want to be good, and want to have praise. It means you should say Next time you'll do better, instead of you did a crap job. I know what She means. When I bite Her (by accident, of course, and not hard) She says, Coffee, I wouldn't bite you. Then I know to be sorry. It is OK to say stop if a kid is going to hurt someone. She says people give too many words at a time to kids. And cats, too, sometimes.
She will have to begin to make supper soon. I am not sure what They will eat, but I think there are those orange potatoes. We all love those. We laughed a lot today. It was fun. Oddy-ose.

Snoozing Cats

We were so busy yesterday that it was all we could do to stay awake to play and get our brushing today. He and She kept on with their work of filling black bags with stuff that has to go. It makes Her laugh that new stuff just keeps coming. She thought that after Christmas, the catalogs would stop - or at least slow down. But no. Another bunch comes every day, with sales and ideas for Valentines Day. Sorry for those catalogs, because She is all spent out, and back on the budget.
He went to the doc today to get His blood tested. His doc could really tell He had been enjoying a lot of good food, because His blood showed a number that was too high. He knew He would have to cut out the bread and potatoes. I know She will fix a lot of fish and chicken, but I don't know when we will have pizza again. She and I are both sad about that. But we have to keep Him healthy. That's a fact.
I don't know what She has planned for tomorrow, but I hope it is something relaxing. (Yawn). I'm going to have another snooze until dinner is ready, and wonder how She can fill bags with junk and still have so much left. What a puzzle. Well, I'll talk about it tomorrow. 'night.

Trash Cats

No, Kasey and I are not trash. We are helping with trash. You see, She has gotten tired of filing and sorting and decided to throw it all away. So now there are new piles. Things that get shredded up by the machine, and things that go into a big, black bag. It makes Her cry to throw away some cards and letters, but what can you do when there is no place left to stack them. Let me just assure you, none of Her Eddie treasures will go into the trash. She has a nice box for all the things from Her Eddie-Kids. There are school papers, though, from kids who have graduated and gone on with their lives. She doesn't need to save those. She is tossing all the saved bills that She has already paid. She has all Mazie's notes and pictures in a neat bag, and all the things from Her brother and his family in a special file. Kasey likes to paw at the papers on the floor, as if she is burying something, and I am helping Her decide what to keep. Sometimes you have to be cruel and stare with a mean face when She tries to keep too many things. She gets a little bummed when She finds papers that remind Her of better days, but I know how to cheer Her up. Don't worry. She will be glad when that big, black bag is full and out for the truck to pick up. Bye for now.

Precious Friend Cats

She woke up bright and early today, because She was anxious to see Her beloved Hana'sGran. She had some things for H'sG to take when she goes to visit Hana, and meet the new baby in the land very very far away. She was excited to meet at their old favorite lunch place and hear all about the plans. She didn't expect Hana'sGran to have more presents for Her, since She got so many things before, but there WAS a package. I bet you know what Her favorite thing to drink is. She even named Her favorite cat (ahem) after it. That's right. Two containers of Coffee-the-drink for Them to make at home. She was chuffed with that.They had some nice things to eat, and of course She brought some home. I will share some with Her tonight.
After the nice lunch and visit, She headed off to the store. I believe She has everything a person could need for the next month. The trouble is, wandering all around the store makes Her knackered, so He helped Her bring in bundles, so She could get a little rest. That is what She is doing now, while I write my story. I am anxious to hear about Smudge'sMom's trip to a faraway land, and so is She. Maybe, after She rests up from this happy day, She will get together to hear about the vacation. I'll keep you up-to-date. Chow, bellas.

New Year's Cats

Even though the special day for the new year was yesterday, today was a holiday as well. Humans just love to have days, and since Sunday was a day anyway, they let people call today a holiday. We did not take a holiday here, though. He is taking this cleaning out thing very seriously, and kind of standing over Her shoulder making little noises about Her messy desk. She tells Him that She knows, and is working on it, yet there She is in the other room, having a nice tea.
LW'sMom gave Them a machine for seeing pictures, and They have been having a hard time making it work. He talked to the people who made the machine, and those guys are sending Him something to make it work without wires. It is supposed to hook up to a phone, but She doesn't have a phone in here. She used to, but She cancelled it, and that's why He is having a problem. She is anxious to see the pictures.
Today She had more of Her fancy soup, but for dinner She is fixing nice meat and vegetables for His new diet, but She is having a potato. He doesn't care. She has to get used to eating Her own stuff again. It was such good times when they ate together, but She has had so much magnificent food in the last two weeks, that She is ready for plain meals Herself. As long as I get to share, all is well. Bye bye until tomorrow.

2012 Cats

This seemed like a normal Sunday to me, but They kept making a fuss about how it is a new year, and its name is 2012. After I had my butter, and we read the paper, She went to get on Her computer - and what do you know? It didn't work. Her fine new Christmas/Birthday/Anniversary present didn't work. She tried a bunch of things, and was afraid He was going to call that poor computer guy for the millionth time. when all at once She tried it and it worked. She says She wishes all problems will be that easy in the new year. She visited on Her computer until it was time for lunch. She had been waiting for this all night and half the day - the chance to eat Her new soup. She fixed it and warmed it up, and yes, it was just as good as She remembered. Luckily, that one bowl filled Her up. I was afraid She would eat all five.
He went to their old church to visit with Sabra'sPeople and talk about His project. He wasn't too excited when He came home, couldn't remember what He had for lunch, so it must not have been too good. I do not expect anything to be very different in the coming days, but all this New Year stuff is going to be over by tomorrow night. Then She can have Her regular lunch with Hana'sGran and plan for that new baby. I will try not to thnk about the trip they will take in a bunch of weeks. Toodles for now.
