You know what we haven’t done in a while, Tessa?

Feed me kibble, no, catnip, no, wait, caviar?

Caviar *snort* As if! It’s been a long time since we, meaning you and us, played with toys. More specifically, we showed your tolerance talent by wearing a toy. On your head. While we take a photo.

“Played with toys.” Hmm, I’m not playing. I was napping as you well know, and without this thing on my head.

Oh, Tessa, you make a pretty tuxie princess with your yellow crown, even when we accidently woke you up by putting it on your head.

And with this one. Not just anyone can expertly wear a foil crinkle ball on their head.

Really? Not that I’d have any reason to not trust you, Mom, but didn’t you tell Dad the exact same thing a few years ago?

Hmm, I don’t recall . . .

04/02/2025 – A Hard Nap

Viola’s channeling how Mom feels having survived an April Fool’s work day. Trust her when Mom says NOTHING is that funny; not the parts delay promise, not the time crunch jokes, not the multiple “in fab big boss visit” warnings. Not the HR threats, not the hiding of people’s lunch boxes, not the confetti crammed through hallway locker vents. But Mom survived and wishes today she could mash her head into a comfy soft chair cover all day while displaying kissable, bunny-like paws. You always have the best napping poses, Viola. Nap well.

03/31/2025 – Goodbye March

Goodbye March 2025. You were a good one. No early hot weather, enough dry weather to allow Mom to start spring clean up, and lots and lots of rain that we needed. You added a surprise hail storm or three and a little thunder that no one here liked but made do with the help of toys. No snow and no ice (does hail count as ice?) All in all, March was a good month. We should do this again next year.
