NOOOOOOOO! It’s all about Tom Maroon! He’ll be 14 this year. The vet just gave him a clean bill of health. Well actually, he has hyperthyroidism. A common condition that cats develop when they are OLD! However, medication puts that condition in check. For now. Do you realize I have to forgo getting medication for my own health condition (no biggie) so I could afford his?
That’s how much he is loved! I cannot imagine life without this little guy. He is People-friendly. As gentle and cute as he is, he’s a TERROR to other cats and other 4-legged creatures when it comes to territory. (My husband thinks Tom and I came from the same mold ~ territorial!) He will tolerate Jake Cyclone as much as he can, since Jake is younger by two years and was a kitten when they got introduced.
Jake, on the other hand, is considered maligned and misunderstood. Very big. Very intelligent. Very annoying. People-Shy. Paranoid. And yet, we love him as well. He only lives for his BFBP. That is short for Bed, Food, Box, and Perch. He gets crafty when it comes to his needs, his selfish needs. But that’s another blog entry to feature his adventures and the humans’ misadventure with him.
OKAY! THIS IS REALLY A KNITTING BLOG.
So, where’re the knitting projects?
Well……..I’ve been lazy…………it’s embarrassing! I have 7 working projects……SEVEN! And what have I been doing instead of knitting?…………Reading blogs and writing blogs. I’m addicted to blogging.
Last night, being a Thursday, I was reading blogs till close to 0200, which made it wee morning Friday hours. I only stopped because I was yelled at. The noise of pounding keyboard keys was too much for working folks. While Thursdays through Saturdays are my weekend off, my two boys had to work on Fridays, like regular sane people. Crazy folks like me have weird hours. What can I say?
Back to the knitting topic…….do you sense I’m sorta avoiding it.
Evidence…..WE NEED EVIDENCE HERE PEOPLE!
A Red Tanktop for a niece’s birthday present. Pattern is simple, made it up myself.

This shawl is not quite done. Needs a button or two. Is meant for a small person.
Oh, the top is in red! My moot moot loves red! She will totally love this birthday gift! I will have to forward your blog to her.
AND, for added attraction – her favorite felines are featured. TOM, oh TOM, we all love him. And of course, Jake the unforgettable cat. Will “kill” for a pea, remember!
I miss them!
sheepishly yours,
