It is not your imagination; today is NOT Sunday or Wednesday. I did, however, want to give a quick update for all of my followers who have expressed concern about my sister Sophia’s health.
1) She woke up complaining to Mom about something. Because she can no longer breath through her nose like a normal cat, she sounds like she has some weird accent. Mom tried very hard to understand her, but even I could barely do that.

2) Her nose doesn’t appear to be packed with snot like it has been lately. I think that is why she seems happy to be up and doing the cat weave around Mom’s ankles.

3) She drank some water, ate a handful of Missy’s dog kibble, before eating all of her portion of our normal morning treats. She is not 100 % back to normal because she did not bully me into letting her eat my portion as well as her own.

4) I’m not sure what that new vet did to her, but Mom and Dad seem happy to see her eating and drinking water. I’ll bet that Mom gives her some of Missy’s wet dog food later. Sophia better eat it, or I’ll have to bully her. I don’t want Mom or Dad to be sad when they look at her.

Thanks for caring. I do believe positive energy from friends makes a difference in everyone’s life.

I didn’t post on Sunday. I didn’t post on Wednesday. Today is Thursday and I really don’t have a lot to say, but I will tell you about our week.

Sunday, Mom said she needed to drive 75 miles each way to pick up her new glasses. By the time they got home, we all just wanted a good nap. I spent most of the evening sitting on her shoulder so I could sniff the glasses. She didn’t seem to like that very much. She said my nose prints blurred her vision. Sigh.

Monday, a big truck showed up and took our little yellow car away. Mom and Dad talked about a check engine light. They had just decided that they plan to keep the car rather than buying a new one. Mom had taken the van to the other dealership last week. They had rotated the tires, but now it had a funny sound. Mom got it fixed, and back home in time for another nap. She said that now the van just needs its new outside mirror installed. She decided she would order the replacement mirror, and see about doing the switch herself. I’d love to help, but she probably won’t let me. Sigh

Tuesday, they called about the issue with the little yellow car. It was not a big thing, and was not covered by the warranty. Mom told them to do the 75,000 mile service, whatever that means. Sophia is feeling better, and we got to go outside for a nice long sniff. I know that the baby chickens and other cats have all been in our yard. We really need to go out more often to chase them away. Mom said that Missy the dog does that. I still think it should be our job. Sigh.

Wednesday, Mom and Dad drove 45 miles each way to pick up the little yellow car. The people there had even washed it. We have a big crape myrtle bush beside the driveway that is blooming. That means that sticky stuff covers everything, and then dirt sticks to those same things, car included. I don’t mind because that makes even more things smell different when we go out. When Mom got back home with the van, she called a friend down the street. She drove the van to his house to fix the driver’s side running board. She said it was only hanging by one bracket. Dad drove her home and then later back over to pick up the van. He has driven more this week than he had all of last month. He didn’t take me with him for any of those trips. I’d make a great navigator. Sigh.

Today is Thursday. Mom said she plans to rewatch the videos on changing out that outside mirror. I sat with her when she watched them the first time. I could offer her advice while she works, but she probably won’t use my van lead to let me be there. Sigh.

This has been a hectic week which is just not how we normally spend summer at our house is Texas.
May you have a great day and stay cool.

Mom is still spending too much time with her camera. The group she has joined has a new mission each week to take a picture that addresses a certain topic. This last week it was doors. Our house has lots of doors. The hallway that connects the living/dinning room with the family room/kitchen has doors at each end as well as the doors to the bedrooms on opposite sides. The living room is connected to the dinning room with a set of glass paneled doors that Mom says are French, and part of the reason she wanted to buy this house. I know that France is another country a long way away from us, so I don’t know how those doors got to our house, but that is another story. Mom usually keeps the French doors closed unless she is doing something special in the dinning room.

Mom also closes the door between the living room and hallway at night. She says it is to keep us from causing trouble in there while she sleeps. The door at the other end of the hall is always left open. Mom told me that long before they bought the house, that door was an outside door. She also said that she removed the doorframe that opened into the kitchen. She reframed it so that the opening was large enough to bring in the stove and refrigerator. She and Dad even added a second back door. The new one leads from the family room to the back deck they built. The old one leads to the carport area. This is the one we use most often.

Mom took pictures of a number of these doors, but wasn’t happy with them. She decided to go outside and take her picture of the glass front door. Missy likes to look out of that one and bark at everything she sees. That is just what Mom took a picture of. Silly dog.
