Wow, this day really dragged by, but then the hours between 6:30 and 9:30 were gone in a blink. It's already past my bedtime.
I'm not really sure where I'm going with this entry. Probably nowhere. I don't have any particular topic in mind. I just wanted to write something. I get so tired of not writing something.
It's all fine with me, actually. Very weird, I know. I haven't been fine in a long time. I'm not sure what happened. I think maybe I just changed my perspective a little. There was certainly nothing earth-shattering. Maybe I started focusing on the tree instead of the forest. Maybe I stopped being angry and sad about the things and maybe I finally noticed the reasons for the things. Maybe I'm in denial yet again, but I really don't think so.
It's different this time. It might even last, this time.
Meanwhile, my cat Buddy is here at my feet. He's all shaved, except for his legs and his tail and his head. He really does look ridiculous, but I'm not going to tell him that or he might rip me to shreds. I can tell that he's really embarrassed. Especially since, to add insult to injury, they put a foo-foo ribbon around his neck.
Nugget is, of course, hiding under the sofa. He doesn't recognize the new "improved" Buddy. I don't think he even realizes that it's a cat, let alone that it's the same cat that's been his friend for his entire life.
Man, I seem to be writing about cats a lot lately. What am I, on the internet or something?
So what's the reason for the "Brazilian"?
Don't you have a sister whose B-day is in and around here? Mine was yesterday, which is why it stuck in my memory, tell 'er I wish her a Very Merry Natal Anniversary.

He hates the comb and the brush, so he gets hair mats pretty bad. When they get bad enough, he gets to be shaved.
My sister Neisha's birthday is tomorrow.
