Willow

 



    Hi

    My name is Willow. I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to be doing this but I'm trapped in the room. I decided to hide behind this big screen that Sophie stared at while she types. I thought that she was just taking a short break, but she closed the door. Eventually she'll come back when she realizes that she locked me in here.

   While I'm waiting I thought that I'd introduce myself.

   I'm a grey tabby cat, That means I have stripes. My stripes are really cool looking. I have a white chest, belly and paws. I have ears that are kind of large. Sophie says my eyes are a green/ blue grey. I'm not sure if she is right. I am sure that I'm cute and have soft fur. I spend a lot of time keeping my fur clean. 

   This is a good place to live. I have a cat tree, a cool looking thing that I can scratch and hide in and a ton of really nice toys. Even better I have a lot of room to run. I like to run. There is a downstairs area that I can run in as well.  There is a couch downstairs that I can climb on. Sometimes the humans leave the lights on so I switch them off.

   I'm discovering that humans do strange things. One of the things they do is carry their water dishes around with them. Sometimes they don't drink water. C likes this stuff called lemonade. He loves it. I think it stinks. The water in Sophie's water dish is hot. I don't know how she drinks that stuff.

   Humans like nicknames. C calls Sophie "honey". Sophie calls C "Mr. C." Sophie calls me Missycat or Bitty Kitty or Miss Kitty or Little Miss. I kind of like Missycat. It's a fun sounding nickname.  Sometimes C calls me Jetta. I think it has to do with the fact that I can run fast.

   Sometimes they call me Cato. I thought this had something to do with me being a cat. Sophie explained to me that Cato is a character in a really old movie series that randomly attacks the human he lives with. Cato is not a cat. Sometimes I do like to lie in wait for my humans and scare them by jumping at them or grabbing their ankle. I don't think I scare them. I'm cuter than Cato.

   I think I hear steps coming down the hall so I'm going to finish this before Sophie sees this.

    Bye!

Simple Things

     C and I usually have a date day or at least part of a date day once a week. It's a time where we spend time with each other doing something fun or maybe simply having lunch out. Since Thursday was Thanksgiving and neither of us felt like eating out, we decided to go out for a hot chocolate.   Right before we left C had an idea. We should get our hot chocolate and also share a peppermint shake from Chick-fil-A. He said the the combination of the hot chocolate and the cool peppermint shake would be really good. I thought it was overkill, but agreed to do it.    After dropping a loaf of bread off at a friend's house we went through the drive through to get the hot chocolate. When I have a choice I usually get dark chocolate. It's not quite as sweet and has lots of flavour. C always gets milk chocolate. Then we went to Chick-fil-A. C went inside and picked up our preordered shake. It was topped with whipped cream and a cherry. I asked C if he wanted to cherry. He said no s

Released

   A few weeks ago I was asked to stay after a Ward Council meeting. Normally it's a meeting I don't attend, but the Relief Society president was out of town and one of my duties was to sit in for her on such meetings. I was fairly sure I knew what it was going to be about.     After the meeting I stayed behind while everyone had left. It was just me and one of the bishop's counselors. We sat in some chairs at one side of the bishop's office. He told me that I was going to be released from my calling as a Relief Society counselor. The release was going to be announced at Sacrament meeting (what the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints call their worship service.) that would take place in about 20 minutes. I'm sure I startled the counselor with my expression of joy and relief at what he told me. I'm sure he was expecting me to be upset and bewildered. Usually one knows about a release at least a few days before it happens.     I had a feeling that this was

Looking for A New Project

           Earlier this year I finished the 10 stitch blanket that I've been working on for a long time. It was a very relaxing project and I enjoyed working on it. Over the summer I haven't knit anything because of lack of time. Now it's fall and I have the itch to start knitting again. I also want a project to take to Door County with me.     I know that I said I wanted to knit a pair of socks, but I'm not sure now. I'd have to teach myself how to knit using a magic loop. I'm sure I could figure it out, but I'd  really like to do something easy and relaxing like that blanket was.     One project I was going to do is to crochet all the granny squares I have together to make a nice little blanket for Willow. It would be fun and relaxing, but it would be hard to take all those granny squares to Door County with me. The same is true for the sample blanket that I want to start. (although I could take a few small balls of yarn along and some stitch patterns to m
