04/06/2020 – Monday Matinee

It all began with a Public Broadcasting show about cats. Mom recorded it to watch later. Two minutes into the program:

For nearly an hour, Olivia sat at the TV watching all things cats. Who says public television isn’t the best thing ever?

Like many, we’re continuing to hang on with a mostly firm grip. Mom’s working between 40-to-58 hours a week, from 4 to 7 days a week, depending on her assembly employer’s agricultural parts supplies that mainly come from China. She’s seeing small acts of kindness here and there, both at work and at home. Thank you to whomever picked up the McDonald’s trash someone threw in our driveway last Friday morning. (We know who dumped that and no, we’re not planning on dying anytime soon of this “old people disease” so you and your millennial friends can take over our house for free. You can stop posting that dream on your Instagram page anytime.)

Dad’s still working 40 hours a week from home though it’s anyone’s guess for how long. He’s part of a customer support team for some bars, restaurants and sporting events across the country and most of those are closed.

Thank you again, all of you, who sent us a pantry full of food and personal supplies last December and January! Who knew toilet paper and paper towels would be in such short supply come April? Or canned chicken? Or flour, oatmeal, or soup? Thank you, thank you, thank you again! We still have food left and we hope you do too!

Keep hanging in there. We will get through this, one day at a time. Love and purrs to you from all of us here.

  3. If a cat meows on TV, Da Boyz ears are honed in!
    Hope Olivia learned something about her species while watching PBS.
    Hang in there; the world is topsy turvy, and the only thing any of us can count on is a cat screaming in your face if you try to sleep in.

  4. Rene S says:

    We saw that show and thought it was pretty interesting. Glad you are both still working! Kitties do make everything better.

  5. Ok, those are horrible people, really.

    I’m glad y’all are ok. I think ok is the best most of us can hope for right now. Hugs to all.

  6. Annabelle says:

    We are all glad to hear you are doing OK! WE will keep good thoughts for you and our entire cat community of friends. Be safe and well.

  14. We’re glad to hear some good (or better) news! I’m a bit surprised Tessa wasn’t in on the action. Olivia is adorable though!
