Identity Crisis, 2021 Edition

Every morning I wake up a fat lazy cynical lasagna loving orange cartoon cat from the late 1900's.

Once I've been awake for half an hour or so I'm Jeremy Renner.

Somehow by the end of the day I've morphed into The Jeffster from the TV series Chuck.

I Like Food, So.

I eat a lot in the fall and winter because, you know, it's cold out and a body needs some extra insulation, and I like to eat.  So I maybe put on a couple extra pounds but that's all right because I'll work it off in the spring and the summer.

I eat a lot in the spring and summer because, you know, there's a lot of manual labor happening in the spring and summer, and a body needs the extra energy, and I like to eat.  So I maybe put on a couple extra pounds but that's all right because I'll eat less and work out more in the fall and winter when I'm less busy and tired.

And now I need a personal trainer.  It's time to Jeremy Renner up.

Terrorism Tamed by Teamwork

We were concerned our new kittens would be harrassed--or worse--by the dogs.

As it turns out, the dogs would wear themselves out chasing the kittens, who would then take the opportunity to curl up and nap with the dogs.  The kittens learned to tag team, so when one of the kitties made a startled dash for a safe spot away from a mischievous mutt, another would materialize from nowhere to rub affectionately on the doggies' bewildered faces, until the dogs ultimately gave up on trying to terrorize a bunch of fluffballs determined to be their pals.

The kittens grew up, and occasionally the dogs still try to chase the cats but you can't chase someone who won't run, and Jeremy Renner couldn't have mellowed those mutts as well as the little kitty wizards did.

Sweat

I love summer.

I love being outside.

I love being not cold.

I love my yard, my garden, my patio, my firepit.

I love your yard, your garden, your patio, your firepit.

I love planting flowers while being stalked by a kitten.

I love sitting on the lawn talking and laughing with my family.

I love sitting up late with the cousins at the family reunion.

I love catching a glimpse of a hummingbird.

I love cruising with the windows down.

I love playing in the water.

I love life in bare feet.

I love Jeremy Renner.

I love summer.

I hate sweat.
