The Importance of Being Idle

Soft On Cats!

A lazy day today. I ended up getting up quite early (for a weekend!) 'cos Archie kept pestering me for his breakfast and I didn't want him bothering Ronnie, although odds are he wouldn't simply because he knows she'll ignore him. I think it's fairly self-evident that I'm soft on cats (in fact last night I slept all squashed up in a corner of the bed 'cos Archie was sprawled across the bottom of my half and I didn't want to disturb him, in fact I was so concerned that I didn't even get under the covers... needless to say I was cold and uncomfortable, and didn't sleep well. Archie had a good nights sleep, and thanked me for it by licking my nose to wake me up so he could get something to eat...), and try as I might I can't stop. Even though I know that they will abuse my good nature, I can't stop being nice to them 'cos I kinda think it's an owners responsibility to keep their pet happy, and to cater to their whims when it is safe to do so. When Archie makes a fuss 'cos he wants to play, I invariably go and play with him for a bit. When he wants to be let out, I'll open the door so he can poke his head out and come straight back inside. And when he wants to sleep on my side of the bed, I usually find a way to sleep that disturbs him as little as possible. Yeah, he's abusing my good nature all right!
Later on we watched the second half of Fellowship of the Ring, did lots of quizzes on various quiz sites, and then nipped into town for a bit. I was sad to note that I still found the outside world as wobbly and confusing as ever, especially now that it's getting dark earlier and there are bright lights everywhere. Still, mustn't worry, I've got my hospital appointment on Friday, so maybe we'll start to get to the bottom of whatever the hell is going on here, 'cos that'd be nice.
Ronnie's off to work again this evening, so I've got to find a way to entertain myself for a few hours. The wobbliness makes me feel so lonely and isolated, not to mention useless. I know she's finding it hard worrying about the finances, and I hate being able to contribute so little, while she works so hard!
