Tuxie Tuesday

Tuxie Tuesday with Snow

We got enough snow to shovel yesterday. It was 10F when Mom got up the other day, so she didn't let me go out on the front porch. That's minus 12.22 for my pal Megan in Sydney Australia. 






Hey Megan, um, I'm out of the kangaroo treats, and I really love them. (hint, hint.)

Tuxie Tuesday

Hey, my tent is nice, but I have lots of other places to nap.

Tuxie Tuesday

So we had a frost over the weekend. That meant the temperature went below freezing. But yesterday the temperature went up into the 70s and last night it was in the 50s. It is supposed to be in the mid-70s today. This is called Indian Summer, and I like it.  It means I can spend the day on the front porch.

Heh.

Tuxie Tuesday

OK, I'm not ALWAYS on the front porch. Sometimes it rains, and sometimes it cracks and booms. On those occasions it is nice to be someplace very safe where nobody can find me.

Tuxie Tuesday

I know what you're thinking, but you're wrong. I HAVE moved since I last posted. Just because Mom is busy doing stuff doesn't mean I'm not.

I'm waiting for my friend. A small tabby lady kitty has been visiting me lately. We sit and chat, nose to nose through the screen. Mom shoos her away, but she comes back. Maybe Mom will take a picture next time so you can see.  We don't know where my little friend lives, but she comes by regularly.

Hey, somebody I know and love has a birthday this week!

Tuxie Tuesday

I'm getting ready for something kinda special. It's a secret, so I can't tell you much more about it right now, but I'll let you in on it when the time is right.

NH Primary Day

It snowed yesterday and last night. The result is a picture perfect day in New Hampster. Which is good, because there will be millions of pictures taken here today. It is the first in the nation primary here and Mom will be voting.

While I am not allowed to say for whom Mom will cast her vote, I can assure you she will NOT vote for the boorish, belligerent, bombastic bully.

Have a nice day, kitties. I shall spend it napping on one of my many favorite locations.

Tuxie Tuesday with Tongue

Geez Mom, today's blog post title sure does sound...

funny.

Tuxie Tuesday

Yes, I like to lie on the table next to Mom when she works on the computer. It's where I get some of the best scritches.

Tuxie Tuesday

Mom got home from her day-hunting gig last night and fed me and put her dinner in the hot-as-hell box. Then she cleaned one of the human litterbox rooms.  After dinner she had the audacity to drag the rug sucking monster around the dining room and the living room. This made me run away from my cozy tent and go nap UTB.

Then she did the dishes and ran the dishbox.

After that she went to bed. It was an extremely boring night in New Hampster.

Tuxie Tuesday

Mom is continuing to get ready for Turkey Day. Last night she did a bit of puttering around the house, and then she sat down at the tippy tappy lapbox and made a plan.

and this is just the first page!

I think the best part about Turkey Day is that Mom will be home with me for three whole days afterwards!  And that after Turkey Day comes Christymas!!

Tuxie Tuesday

Mom has been having trouble with her gmail account on her new iphone. She doesn't get her mail as easily as she used to and it doesn't seem to like sending photos. It works better when Mom tries it on the ipad, but Mom says it is a PITA.

At any rate, I am fine. It is colder out, and the leaves have fallen from the trees, so they are nekkid. Mom filled eleven big lawn and leaf bags full of leaves on Saturday and she still has to blow them out of the front yard. Her shoulder and arm are a bit sore from lugging the big leaf blower around.  So when she got home from day hunting yesterday, she sat down and read a book.  The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry.

Mom said it was delightful.

Tuxie Tuesday

Yes, I'm in my tent.  Where else did you think I would be?

Tuxie Tuesday

While I was doing this on Saturday,

Mom was on the roof of our house. She sealed the skylights and made sure the vents were sealed up too. She cleared the leaves out of the gutters and added some silicone to keep the gutter stuck to the house. She is hoping to prevent this:

The giant icicles hanging from the gutter outside.  It would help if the winter isn't as cold and we don't get as much snow.

We are hoping.

Tuxie's Tent Tuesday

Mom set up my tent in the living room.  I guess she thought I might want a cozy place to nap.

I checked it out quite thoroughly.

I sniffed all around.

Then I walked away. I could give it a much better inspection when nobody was watching me. Mom hasn't seen me near it since.


Heh.


Until she got up at oh-dark-middle-of-the-night and wondered where I was napping.

In the tent.

Bast! I hate when she catches me like that!

Oh well. The tent is a great spot and -maybe- she'll get a picture of me in the tent so you can see.



Or not.

Tuxie Tuesday

Hey, what can I say? Life doesn't get much better than this.

Tuxie Tuesday

I love my kitty condos.

Tuxie Tuesday and a Mim-may Update

It was hot and sticky here in New Hampster yesterday and the weather guys say it will be like that all week. The recliner in the sewing studio is a comfy and cool place to nap, so I am hanging out here.

Mim-may came through surgery with flying colors and she could go home very soon. She has two screws in her hip, and the surgeon said, "That's going to hurt."  Mim-may says it does, but it's better than the alternative.

Ask me how I know this.




(for those that do not know, I have a titanium rod in one of my legs after it got broken when I was hit by a car.)

Tuxie Tuesday

We are supposed to have crack-and-boom storms today. I know we need the rain, but I do not like crack-and-boom storms.

This is one of the daylilies that Mom planted on Sunday. Around here all the daylilies are orange, so Mom didn't want any orange ones. She wanted hers to be different, so she got some yellow ones.

And she got this red one. She bought a purple one too, but that isn't open.
