Simon Sunday: Digging a Hole
"It's *Supposed* to be My Day of REST!"

Simon and I were enjoying a nice, Sunday morning lie-in. While I snoozed, he purred and curled his body around my head. He dozed off with a big, purring sigh. Our idyllic peace was disrupted by the rumbling of this monstrosity pulling up outside our front window.
Already wrapped tightly around my head, Simon got upset and, as he does, clung more tightly to my head which, painfully, included slightly digging his claws into my scalp. To my credit, I did not yelp in pain, but stroked his chin lightly while he relaxed his "grip" on my head.
Evidently, the Roto-Rooter crew is digging a big hole in the front courtyard. I don't know WHY they're digging a hole as no one from building management has posted or sent a notice telling us that we should not expect to be able to hear ourselves think today. But every so often, they stop digging, turn off the CAT (Simon argues that it most certainly is NOT a cat) and discussing the digging of said hole.
Given his aversion to machinery that is big and loud and sounds like it might just eat kitties, Simon has been most unhappy today. He just got himself comfortable in his basket when they cranked up the digger again and he retreated to his "safety spot" just outside the bedroom door. Billie has also taken cover under the chair. As for me, I've given up on trying to work on tasks that require a lot of focus and concentration and am just glad they haven't shut off the water the the building. Yet.
