Glorious Thursday

Today has been especially nice as far as Thursdays are concerned. Mandy has been working on her computer off and on all day typing things, so I am thankful for a quick minute to snatch the computer away and tell you we had a wonderful day.

Mandy cleaned house, went to the store and bought me treats, and then we all napped this afternoon. Mandy has been napping with us in the afternoon a great deal lately, but it is nice to have her still because then we are able to sleep in one location for a longer period of time.

When Mandy went to the store today, she left the music on for me. Today I enjoyed the sounds of a beautiful opera. It was all in a strange language, so I did not understand the words, but the music was meaningful and emotional. I enjoyed every minute of it.

Just a little while ago, Mandy joined me on the floor and scratched my chin. She said only kings and princes received such majestic treatment, and I purred loudly to acknowledge my royalty.

The big tub guys came back today. They normally only come once a week and they were already here this week. Mandy was sleeping on the couch when they showed up, so I woke her up to tell her people were in our backyard. She said I was a very brave guard cat and thanked me for waking her. Believe me, she is not an easy one to wake. She went outside to talk to the men. They put something strange in the water that made it blue. However, it did not stay blue for long and now our big tub is clearing up and I hope it looks beautiful! Mandy was unable to swim this morning, even though we begged her too. She said that it is better not to swim when there is thunder. She is right, but we were looking forward to our outside play time with Mandy. Maybe tomorrow we will be able to play again!

Well, Sam might be home soon. Mandy put dinner on to cook a little while ago and it is starting to smell good, so I hope Sam does not take long to come home. I am ravenous!
