Summer got here on Tuesday and we’re all enjoying it very much. There’s smell-o-vison and windows staying open all night. For Zensai there is the extra special treat of pansies. Pansies are one of my favorite flowers. They are one of Zen’s favorite foods. One of the best things about visiting my parents, in his mind at least, is that my mother would let me take him outside to eat pansies in “the wild.”
Yesterday we went to a barbecue at a friend’s house. It was most excellent. The problem is that this is also the week that a local publication, for which I do the layout on weekends, doubled in size. Rather than miss the party, I decided to work into the wee hours when I got back. So I did.
The Boy gave up on me around midnight and headed upstairs. Kitten Thunder napped in the office with me until we were finally able to go to bed around 2:30 a.m.
This morning I opened my eyes to find that I was completely alone. I went downstairs and asked The Boy if there hadn’t been any of the normal “it could be time for breakfast” poking and silliness from Oliver. Because I don’t remember it.
“Oh, there was poking,” says The Boy.
“So they decided that maybe The Girl was dead and moved on to you?”
“Yep.”
I have a good Boy.
Oliver was very happy when it turned out that I, in fact, was not dead – just dead to the world. We had some serious snuggle time on the couch this morning. And a nap…because I got up way too early.

OK, OK. Funny. “Smell-o-vision.” Plus I even
stoleadopted your “OutTV.” You are funny.If Callie Jean and the kittehs thought I was dead, they wouldn’t wake Chuckweasel, they’d just set to gnawing off my foot. This is why I set 2 alarms…
