Not to say that there isn't room for improvement. The Bumble Bean got up at 4:30 this morning which means I did too. Then he wanted to go back to bed, seemingly just to be more comfortable as he wiggled his way through the next hour and a half. Now we seem to be up for the day and he is playing a very silly game with the Ding-kitty which includes dancing a string, throwing it, trying to get her to bring it back to him while she thinks he's trying to pet her and occasionally interjecting, "Oh, my toes!"
Yesterday, the Apol-i-giant made his first appearance. The Bumble Bean quickly corrected him into the not very interesting apologize, but we are keeping him alive. He may make his way into the Martini Manuscript except that I am out of vodka. Maybe I'll switch to gin martinis.
Meanwhile, the exceptionally pitiful Berg-kitty is sitting in a ball on the puzzles looking forlorn. I'd feel worse about it if he wasn't such a drooling, vomiting, non-grooming fur ball. I think I will make him a three-eyed catnip fish.
Pile of questions:
ReplyDeleteIs Berg-kitty sick, or is this just his natural temperament?
Who/what is Apoli-i-giant? Red Lentil? String Bean? Now I feel I need to make up nicknames for everyone on my blog (it never occurred to me before!) but the one time I referred to someone as "Q", David looked at me indignantly and said, "Q?! Why Q? You've been using my name for months!" and I had to explain that was because "Q" was not necessarily him.
And most important of all, why is miscellanea your daughter? I'm stymied.
Berg-kitty is not sick in any physical way. The Apol-i-giant came about because the Bumble Bean was experimenting with saying "apologize" and it sounded like Apol-i-giant so we ran with it. All of the Bean names are code names for real people I'm blogging about. I do it to remind myself not to take this all too seriously. Also it's a fun exercise.
ReplyDeleteAs for Miscellanea, I'll have to think about a rational reply to that. It will require some dredging of my subconscious and it's too early right now.
