Thursday

Awoke only because a ten pound fur ball had the nerve to meow in my face. Heaven forbid Emma not be treated to her Pounces first thing every morning. Geez. For years she's been quiet and demure but recently a more vocal gate has emerged.  She's always let me know when the litter box hasn't been clean enough to her liking but like her brother Copper, who began more vocalizing a year ago, she's become quite the conversationalist.  Kitty dementia I think.  Cooper especially.  A bit annoying when he sits on the floor by the bed and starts his crying. Have to ask "what do you want" and then he leaps onto the bed, still talking as he takes his place near my shoulder to watch TV with me.  It's not like he can't leap up there on his own and does but for whatever reason has to talk about it first.  He also has developed a habit of awaking from a deep sleep and letting out a loud cry of "where the hell am I, what, huh." They're 10 years old this year but it was only yesterday when they hadn't grown into their ears. 

Great cup of coffee this morning to clear out the cobwebs. Swear having my coffee shipped to me from SLO Roasting (San Luis Obispo) is the best investment I've ever made. This last shipment they were gracious enough to surprise me with 2 free sample bags of new coffee blends. Godfather and Walker Hopp. Both nice mellow combos. Thinking I'll remain true to Big Sky Blend though. Consistently good beans that creates a tasty cuppa Joe.  It's the simple pleasures isn't it?!?

The heat wave has dissipated.  Ugly to have 90-100's anytime but when you live in a third floor apartment that gets late afternoon sun and heat rises. Need I say more. No matter of AC and fans can cool the place down.  It's over now but will undoubtedly return as Summer arrives. 

Enjoying a few more followers on my Tumblr website. What's pleasing is that many are photographers. Encouraging that others appreciate my work.

Off next weekend to the City by The Bay.  Time for Giants baseball!  Cant' wait.
