The sun was long gone, so I stayed in bed

Things one says to the cat of an afternoon:

"In this house, we do not eat cream cheese that's turned pink. In the immortal words of Norman Wisdom, it ain't worth it."

I was making myself a bagel, having already rewarded the brave cat with lox for enduring with minimal deployment of the hiss word her annual physical with her GP. She is recuperating on my desk with bird theater, the pair of mourning doves on the telephone wires and the little flutters of sparrows delectably shivering the cold-beaded drops of the yew needles. I found some ordinary-colored cream cheese.

I am glad the brave cat had a delicious reward. (Now I want lox too. I have some in the fridge!)

Have some lox! I am sure you also deserve it.

there is something i find so beautiful about sparrows, the combination of frailty and resilience.

They are very ancient and up-to-date and at the moment distinctly fluffed for the weather.

I have just cleaned out the fridge... except for some eggnog that went to Valhalla the week of the election, which I am not brave enough to do. It is sort of both a scarlet letter and a social commentary. I will evict it by April to make room for the goat milk!

It definitely sounds like it went symbolic.

What a good, brave cat, and yay for ordinary-coloured cream cheese.
