Sleep All Day
Today was a lazy day at home; I spent yesterday (the 1st) recuperating from a fabulous New Year’s Eve, and a good part of today was devoted to reading Dan Brown’s latest (The Lost Symbol) since Dad finished it yesterday afternoon. While I didn’t venture out of the house today, I knew I at least had a willing subject in one of our two cats, Val (or, more formally, Val N. Tine). Val has been with us for almost eleven years now (can you guess what time of year we adopted him?), and each year he gets more curmudgeonly. He is, however, also quite affectionate, and he is either genial or lazy enough to have submitted to a photo session tonight. Not the best picture due to the indoor lighting, but I have to wonder what thoughts contribute to his contemplative gaze. Probably how much he is looking forward to breakfast, or how he wishes he could smother me in my sleep for sticking the camera in his face.
