What’s Eating Aunt Debbie?

War in Ukraine and Israel

Such hatred and evil in the hearts of men. I often wonder how things would be if women ruled the world. I’d like to think that women would find a better way to solve problems than killing and holding hostages.

Covid Sucks

Dad and I made it through Covid. Guess we’re back to masking. We also need our updated vaccine. We hadn’t been sick since before Covid and after going through it, I’d rather not go through it again. Next time, Dad may not be so lucky as to have a mild case. I was miserable but I’m guessing it was also pretty mild considering I didn’t have trouble breathing and I didn’t end up in the hospital. Hell, maybe I won’t be so lucky next time, either. Protect yourselves, folks. It’s no fun.

Let It Be

This song hit me in the feels this morning. Not only did it bring back memories from my childhood but it also made me think about the sad state of the world today. War, hatred, poverty, disease…

I hope you’re having a good week. Stay safe and healthy.

Until next time,

El Diablo or Just A Little Jealous?

Last night I was watching a little late-night tv when one of our cats decided to jump up on my lap. Korn (yes, that’s his name!) rarely gets on anyone’s lap – he’s just a ‘good ol’ boy’ and if you’re from ’round these parts’ (SW Missouri) then you’ll know what that means. I think. He just doesn’t give a rat’s you-know-what about much of anything…. except well, maybe chow time.

Anyway, Korn is on my lap gettin’ some lovin’ and here comes Kitty! Kitty has been a part of our family now for a little over a year. She’s an evil cat. (Her eyes actually glow red!) She’s lovable ONLY when she’s in a sound, sound sleep. (What were we thinking?!) She’s on the arm of the chair, looking at Korn, then looking at the vacant space on my lap, then looking back at Korn again. I could tell she wanted on my lap as well. So I motioned her to join us….patted the vacant spot on my lap as an invitation….she got the message. She jumps up on my lap and lays beside Korn. Immediately, she starts making this deep, guttural sounding growl and when I told her “No” and to “Hush” she hissed at me! She was showing her true colors that’s for sure! She never stopped growling and hissing until Korn got off of my lap and moved to the arm of the chair! But even though Korn had moved, every time I tried to pet her, she growled some more! Finally, before she could kill me or do bodily damage, I made her leave! Can a cat really get that jealous over another cat or is she truly “El Diablo’s Sister?”
