We’re living in an apartment for a while and there’s less to do, chore-wise. So, if we don’t get out and get busy, all we’ll do is work. On a related note, I saw a drink coaster recently that said, “Don’t confuse having a career with having a life”. I did have those two confused for a good, long while. It’s kind of ironic that drink coasters have become so wise when I see so few of them anymore.

We lived there for only eight months. Not since the early days in my career have I moved again so quickly. And back then, I had few items of my own. It’s a bigger deal to move these days. When I picked up some boxes, an employee at the store said, “I moved once. Never again”!

There is nothing left in this house except the things that belong to me. My scratching post that looks like a bent toilet brush, my basket of toys and brushes. Best of all, my fuzzy, puffy pouf and of course, my food. I must face the fact that we are camping now. The furniture upon which I leave my fur is now but a memory. These humans cannot be reasoned with. Take note of my facial expression. This air mattress has no give!

My humans have been more active than usual. On more than one tiresome occasion, I’ve been forced to summon them with my loudest wail, to remind them to submit to my whims: brushing, petting, feeding and general adoration.

Probably thousands of times on hundreds of drives Derek would lament that he didn’t own a tractor.
…Last week was a social butterfly week! It started with my appearance at momonday and then progressed through happy visits and obligations that kept me from getting much done. I paid for it all on Sunday morning.

I’ve written about decisions a time or two because I find them fascinating. A boss I once had refused to make any decisions. He was so worried about making the wrong one, he made none. From him, I learned it’s better to decide on something and perhaps change your mind later, than to not decide at all and leave everybody around you wanting to pummel you with a wiffle bat.

Recently, I lamented on Facebook that there was no junk pick-up service that considered Wallaceburg part of its territory. None. Not the well-known 1-800 company, not a random guy with a truck – nada.
…Derek reminds me that water levels in Lake Huron have been so low (how low were they?) that the marina in Bayfield had to be dredged so boats didn’t scrape the lake floor. That’s certainly not the case now.

I had a faint memory in the back of my mind of an unfamiliar bar somewhere closer to Hamilton from where we lived in Smithville. The fragments of this memory didn’t come together until I drove along Highway 3 instead of the 401 to my Mom’s house one weekend.

Hearing aids are a blessing and a curse. A blessing for obvious reasons. It’s great to hear the low-talkers and mumblers of the world. A curse because I believe they lead some of the hearing-abled to think that if we wear them, we’re cured!

The annual Botten-and-cousins-fest happened over the weekend. This is the one whose early, backyard days in Sharon, ON brought some of York Region’s finest in uniform to cap the noise.

The headline read, “VP Pence supports Trump Administration’s Decision to Bar US Embassies From Flying Pride Flags”. My first thought was, that’s not even news.

Several rooms to move, actually. This wasn’t a difficult decision but it’s not easy to reveal because it’s so unusual. We’re moving again!

I’ve been enjoying the gentle purr of Miss Sugar, who seemed to have truly missed me! She greeted me with outstretched paws and a nuzzle. That’s over-the-top for a cat.
