Sucky things have been happening this week. I almost wish I could go back to Monday and start over, just to see if the week might turn out better, except that I wouldn't want to go through all this again. This is just everyday bad stuff, nothing truly disastrous, but things seem worse than they are when they all happen at once.
So I will try to find something cheerful to write about.
Today I received some pet supplies that I ordered on Tuesday—they arrived really fast! That's something to be cheerful about. The vendor threw in a sample packet of catnip, fresh enough that even I could smell it through the plastic. I placed the packet on a table in the living room, where the cats were napping on the couch. A few minutes later, Monte Alban was hopping up on the table and getting involved.
The involvement lasted for an hour. Maybe two? Sparky wanted at the catnip and they took turns. They're so funny about catnip, especially all the furtive looks over their shoulders, like they think they're doing something naughty and big mean Cat Mom is going to fuss at them. Then they go right back to licking and gnawing on the packet. There was quite a lot of drool this time (that must have been some seriously good nip). Rolling. Lolling. Catnip scattered upon (and drooled into) the runner. The whole works.
I'm glad somebody had some fun around here today.
