I don’t know if it’s the cold, the early darkness, the cat slapping my face at 4am, or what, but I am ex-hau-sted and it’s only 7pm!
And one thing that happens when I’m this over-tired is my creativity ramps up in ways that annoy everyone around me. (Everyone meaning my cats.)
I went into the kitchen to make a cup of chai and Charlie followed me in there for the 10,000,000,000,000-th time (TODAY) and started screaming at me for more snacks. Mind you, he’s had today:
- Gooshy breakfast (their canned food)
- Crunchy (Second) breakfast
- Elevensies
- Extra snack because Clancy got his first eye drop
- Lunch
- Snacks
- Extra snack because Clancy got his second eye drop
- Snacks because I made my afternoon tea and he wouldn’t stop yelling at me
- Dinner
I couldn’t take it anymore, and so I started singing:
Buddy you’re a boy
Make a big noise wandering the kitchen
Gonna be a big cat someday
You got food on your face
Big disgrace
Wavin’ your tail all over the place, singin’
FEED ME, FEED ME
RIGHT NOW
FEED ME, FEED ME
RIGHT NOW
It worked. I managed to annoy Charlie enough that he left the kitchen and I finished making my chai. But I may drink it curled up in bed with a book.
