Laughing it all off

I'm trying to climb out from under the storm cloud that's been following me around.  I promise!  Like I told someone just the other day.  I'm thankful for every day I can get up and walk.  Life's been pretty good to me over all and I'm really thankful for being who I am, where I am, and for the amazing people who are part of my life.

Scott and I had our Wendover adventure a week later with little to no excitement, and hooray hooray the few dollars we stuck into slot machines won us enough to pay for the whole trip.  Guess we deserved a little good luck.

The highlight of my day was discovering that I can buy Oscar's breakfast seed at the pet store next to work instead of driving to Bountiful which I never remember to do until it's the absolute most inconvenient time.  Duh, wish I'd figured that out last year...

Yesterday I was watching Beauty & the Beast on broadcast while crocheting.  Apparently it's going to become a household favorite.  Oscar was fussing about in his cage village at the other end of the living room...his work cage is stored next to his travel cage here in the living room with his bathtub and play basket set on top, he has ladders and towels to climb about and between them...YOU'LL HAVE GUESSED BY NOW THAT MY HOME IS MAINTAINED PRIMARILY FOR THE COMFORT AND WELL BEING OF MY PETS.  Anyhow, he was busily entertaining himself with birdy  type things until the musical portion of the movie kicked in, and then he began singing along at FULL volume but substituting his own words (cuz not only hasn't he seen Beauty & the Beast ever before, but he also only knows 30 or so words).  So I watched/listened to delighted birdy sing "being good...being cute...kisses...meow, meow, mroew...gimme kitty..." complete with head bobbing, gawping, wing stretches, and tail fluttering for 45 minutes.  At witch time he was completely exhausted and switched to "go night night, sleep tight, don't let the kitty bite", followed promptly by "I'm be'n good, wanna go nite nite", and "whacha doin?..go nite nite?".  Can't blame the little beast, he wore himself plum out.  I have got to find a video camera before we watch that movie again.

Speaking of being too tired to do anything but sleep, that's where I am tonight.  Spazz has just come to inform me that I don't have enough kitty snuggles & she's going to fix that for me.  Anne of Green Gables is on KBYU and I've got enough pause time built up to skip the fund drive adds.  Add an advil to that combo and you've created on awesome Friday night date! Guess it should include Scott to be a date, but he's not an Anne fan, and he seems to be enjoying his John Denver / Dixi Chicks Music fest and those computer puzzles he's hooked on. I suppose if we're both comfy and enjoying ourselves it's way better than some dates I've been on.  Might mean we're that much closer to being old married folk.  Can't seem to feel too bad about that.

Hope you're all comfy and well.
