Explosions

Published by at 8:34 am under Calamity Suzy,Cats,City Life

I wake up slowly in the morning. Very slowly. I put the kettle on, grind the coffee, pour the boiling water onto the perfectly ground perfectly Caffe Trieste mocha java, and take it back to bed to read, drink my coffee, and contemplate the horror of being (technically) awake. Do not talk to me. I do not exist in a pre-caffeinated state. Disturb me at your peril.

This morning, I was happily reading the latest in Lemony Snicket’s delightful Series of Unfortunate Events – I love these books, because they are visually very appealing (important for the shallow among us), charmingly written, and the central characters have lives that are actually worse than mine – when the bulb in my reading lamp, conveniently located behind my left shoulder, suddenly exploded. It not only exploded for no apparent reason, it flew right out of the lamp and apparently vanished.

Not even Caffe Trieste wakes you up faster than that.

I had barely recovered from this unfortunate and shocking event when I heard the distinctive and horrifying sound of one of the Feline Five throwing up. However, when I tried to find the source of the cat creation, it was nowhere to be found. Undoubtedly, I’ll step in it with bare feet in the middle of the night.

Is it too late to change my mind about dogs?

    hmmmm…..mysterious forces seem to be at work in your home.

    As women, we have the the right to change our minds at will!

    I’m not even capable of making coffee before I have had coffee.

    Welcome to the dog world. I suppose I still wont be able to convince you cats are evil though?

    Ew… I feel for you on the kitty vomit, I hate that. But seeing them all curled up in a snuggly pile of soft fur makes up for everything really. =) Dogs aren’t nearly as cuddly.

    I am definitely a dog person. granted, the fact that cats make me go into insane sneezing fits pretty much make that decision for me, but yeah 😉
