Blessed Solstice

It’s now the small hours of the morning of what will be the shortest day of the year.

The quiet time of the long dark is when I renew myself.

Solstice is the peak of my season and I will celebrate this day.

Poor Kitty

I just awakened Wesley, my 22 year old kitty, from a sound sleep in order to poke a pill down his throat.  Pill poking isn’t something he tolerates well at the best of times. Being awakened from a sound sleep is not the best of times.

Wesley does not accept the notion that it’s these very pills which are helping him feel well enough to try to shred my hand.  The fight he put up, however, tells me the pills are working.

Tomorrow I’m going back to making “kitty burrito” with a towel before I dose him.

Codependency:  A horse put together by a committee from two different sets of pieces, resulting in a camel with no legs.

Just think about the potential accumulation of camel crap.

There’s a reason I refuse to go there.
