Cat Naps
Last night I stayed up later than I should have playing a video game. I turned it off at about 11:30 and was settled into bed by midnight. But Magic wanted to be near me once I was settled. She jumped up on the dresser next to my bed and groomed herself. As she spread…

Machzu
When I was five or six our family had a dog. I don’t remember the dog’s actual name. I remember my mom yelling “Machzu” at it. I was vaguely aware that it was supposed to be German. I am convinced that she was butchering “Mach deinen mund zu” which translates as “Shut up.” the dog’s…

My Lap
For about a year Magic would curl up in my lap and sleep. Sometimes this was for several hours. Then Ether came and has tried to claim my lap since then. But Magic isn’t going to let him bully her and I won’t either. Magic was in my lap this morning and Ether walked up…

Pajamas on a Wednesday
I haven’t done a lot today. I haven’t even gotten out of my pajamas. My alarm didn’t go off at 9 am. I’m not sure if I accidentally turned it off or if a child was playing with my phone. At any rate I was less aware than I should be in the morning. The…
