Typical Day

Seems like daily I try to get myself into a rhythm. I get up, get to work, come home...then it all falls apart. I'm missing my motivation to do anything other than sit and watch shows. It' a chore to knit lately and doing housework...eh, forget it.

Tonight, I'm trying to change that. I did some dishes, am going to clean boxes and fold laundry.

I will only give into Netflix temptation once those things are done.

Buena

Buena's feeling under the weather and is demanding mommy time making it difficult to knit. She's prone to sinus issue and colds. When they hit she becomes super needy. She adopted me when I met Kopi, so she's my baby girl now. She's exactly Anna's age and they get along as well as they can. They are both top girls in the house, but as long as both can lay touching me (as they are right now), they are happy girls.

She's a very special girl. Most people are put off by her screaming meow that sounds like she's angry at you touching her. She's not. She's deaf in her right ear and slowly losing hearing in her right. She's big, loud and super friendly.

She loves people and is quite social with new people. She's getting older and doesn't play as much, which upsets Mimir when he tries to pounce and she curses at him. She will play all day with a laser pointer or anything dangling. We can't have those cute over-the-door toys because she will keep us up all night playing with it until it's torn to shreds.

She's tough though. Rob has a big black cat, Raven, that apparently is her sworn enemy. They do not get along at all, but they don't fight much either. It is just a lot of talk and hissing and growling. Buena would rather find another place to lie down than start a fight.

I might bitch and whine about how needy she is, but I can't say that there is a better snuggle buddy when I'm ill or upset. She may not be beautiful or slender, but she's loving and sweet.
