Pieces of the Whole
It felt good. I think most of the people who follow my blog (well, the Americans anyway) probably have voted or will vote, but if you’re wavering, I encourage you to stop by your local polling place and cast your ballot. Your vote matters.

Okay, this has got to be one of the best holidays of the year. Chocolate cupcake day! My local bakery is having a special on these delicacies all weekend long, and I plan to stop by and celebrate. In case you prefer the mini-cupcake variety, three of those equal one regular size cupcake, but who’s counting?
And if, perchance, you are reading this past the actual date of the holiday, you have my permission to have a belated holiday.

The cats had their annual exams this week, and in preparation for the always traumatic trip to the vet, I pulled out the carriers. They sat in the living room so the cats could get used to them, and Walter immediately set about checking both over. That was Friday night. By Saturday night, he was sleeping in one off and on. This picture was taken Sunday, and you can see he’s pretty comfortable.
Monday, the day of the exams, was another story…

I was curled up on my sofa, spooning Mimi, when Walter decided to wrap his arms around my feet and snuggle with me there. Somehow, I was able to get my phone and snap a photo or two. He usually wakes up when I try to get a photo of him sleeping, but these shots he slept right through. Like most sleeping babies, he looks especially sweet.

About a year and a half ago I posted about Mimi and her new favorite toy, a small plush beaver. It’s actually a dog toy. My friend Deb bought a package of two beavers and only needed one, so she gave the other to me in the hope the cats would like it. Well, Mimi went crazy for it, and all this time later, she still does. I call the toy The Beav, and those of you familiar with black and white TV sitcoms from the early 60s will understand the reference.
