We’ve had one, yes. What about second breakfast?

Let me start off; choosing a good name is really, really hard. I’ve struggled with choosing a name since Tuesday.

The names I originally had in mind, didn’t fit. Not one bit. Disheartened, I pressed on to find the best name for her.

I narrowed it down to two. Crystal suggested that I flip a coin, and as it was flipping, I’d know which name I’d want for her.

It flipped the way I had hoped.

So let me introduce properly this time, Pippin. Claws of steel, snuggle monster, demander of attention.

Phew! It’s done!

Pussycat, pussycat I’ve got flowers and lots of hours to spend with you

Good morning party people! It’s me, on a rare week day day off! Today is the day that I bond with the force of nature currently going by the moniker “kitty” as I try and figure out what a good name would be for her.

Choosing a name is easier when Crystal was beside me in the drive home. I thought I had a name picked out for her. However, the name was good but didn’t seem to fit with her. I have a couple of other names that I’m toying with, but I will figure out a good name for her.

Last night was a lot better. There was no up and down up and down. She jumped up on the bed, and this is where I opened my eyes to watch her. She “stood guard” for a minute or two, then curled up next to my face and went to sleep.

But right now, she’s laying on top of me. And I have to get up to blow my nose lol.

And I need more coffee.

Cat? I’m a kitty cat! And I dance, dance, dance and I dance, dance, dance

Well. Last night was interesting. It took the kitten a couple of hours to settle down and then she climbed under the blankets with me and slept under my chin or on my arm.

She’s currently somewhere in the bedroom right now I think the alarm kind of scared her. She did use the litter box last night.

Thankfully I have coffee this morning because I think we were both light sleeping because we didn’t know what to do.

Outside, it is raining and it is very windy outside. Hopefully, it’ll get nicer out today.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Good morning! The birds are singing, and the grass is green. Coffee is brewing and I was wide awake before the alarm went off.

I got up, and dressed. I stumbled out and turned the coffee on. I think opened the blinds and turned the tv on. While I was still trying to focus, I accidentally turned Duo on and for some reason, automagically started a call with Crystal as I was trying to turn on the news.

Happy Tuesday!

Hopefully, that doesn’t mean that’s how the day is going to go!

One more sleep until a kitten comes home with me!

I’ve seen a million faces and I’ve rocked them all

The coffee is all done. I still have a 1/4 full cup beside me. But for all intents and purposes, I’m finished with coffee for the day.

It’s actually been a slight flurry of doing stuff this morning. It’s a somewhat nice day out, so I moved Mr. Banana, the succulents, the Anthurium, and the sunflowers outside. I looked and the sunflowers and wondered if they needed to be repotted. I prepare a new pot, and pop them out. They are just starting to get a little root bound, so I break up the roots a little bit and place them in the new pot. I think they’re happier, or at least will be in their new home.

Now, just watching the livestream of the Depp Heard trial. I think they’re introducing photographs into the trial. I’m sitting here wondering how many of these photos were staged by Amber.

Just two more sleeps until I can reveal a surprise. Wait. That’s so 2000s where you tease something for days, or maybe weeks just so you can get (hopefully) more hits. Not here! In two days, I’m adopting a kitten. We’ll just a little older than a kitten, but not yet a cat.

I have a cat tree, litter, litter box, and food waiting for her to arrived. I’ll be able to pick her up Wednesday after work. I’m very excited and now, just slightly nervous. I hope she likes it here. I think she will.

Ok, time to go again. Have a great Monday you awesome motherfuckers!
