lots of people look at me like i am crazy when i say this, but i am sooooo ready for summer to be over. and i don’t mean that “labor day weekend is over so summer is over” over. i mean, OVER. i want fall. normally, i enjoy summer right up until the end. we have some pretty beautiful septembers around here. and i really do like wearing as little clothing as possible. however, it’s been way way way too sunny and way way way too warm for my liking this summer. i live here so that i can avoid temperatures above 75 as much as humanly possible. and this week, it’s supposed to be in the upper 80’s. even into the 90’s!! by societies traditional definitions of what makes a good summer, this has been an excellent summer. by jodi’s definitions… no.
i want darkness and wind and tress changing color and cozy and cuddly and … did i mention darkness? i get so much more done at night. i’m a night person. i’m tired of my stuffy little casita and have all those fans running all the time.
i wish i worked nights. mmmm…. darnkness.

it’s official. pru is not not fat. shmecky brought it to the table, judes second the motion, and after a vote, it’s been determined that pru is actually FLUFFY, not fat. really people, pru was engineered in a lab, to have the xtra fluffiest tummy, a kind of fluffy that cannot occur in nature. that’s why her vet was so confused. even though he is my uncle, i am not allowed to tell him of pru’s top secret powers. xtra fluffiness being one of them.
exhibit a: i know you’ve seen it before, but …. she was such a cute kitten!!

and the tummy has only gotten fluffier since. she sleeps like that all the time. i’ve tried over and over to get a picture like that again. now that she’s bigger and fluffier. but she’s sneaky. and she flips over JUST as i take the shot.
she’s feeling much better. for about 36 hours, i think those vaccinations made her feel crappy. she wasn’t very snuggly, she didn’t sleep with me, on the bed or even the window for two nights. which is odd. but yesterday she started feeling better. she hopped up on the couch with me and plopped down right on top of the book i was reading. that’s my girl.
