Did you know..?

That 6 kittens can be in 19 places at the same time?

The older cats in the home are displeased and disgruntled. Even Mama cat is laying in a corner exhausted. She brings them to the living room and passes them off to us so she can take a break.

Whiskey cat has taken to walking around making what is CLEARLY an elderly mans constant grumble. "MrawrawWrOwooWrar". He looks at me as if to say "WHEN are YOU going to FIX this?".

In other 'Just Me' news, last night I slept like a baby. No, better than a baby. I slept the whole night through and almost felt refreshed this morning. For almost a year, that hasn't happened.

What was different? Well, I decided to run the AC last night. Maybe the cool air and background noise had something to do with it. Perhaps I am wrapping my head around the Retired with CHF thing. Maybe it was the new make/model of beer I drank yesterday.

Whatev.... I'll take it.

Also, down another pound. Please alert the media.

PS: CRAP, they discovered they can climb the sofa. Nothing is safe.

Robert Heinlein

"Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fulfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.

But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few minutes of your time, please — this won't take long." Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time — and squawk for more!
So learn to say No — and to be rude about it when necessary.
Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.

(This rule does not mean that you must not do a favor for a friend, or even a stranger. But let the choice be yours. Don't do it because it is "expected" of you.)"
