Catching up
Wednesday, August 8, 2007
Here it is Wednesday already and I haven't posted a thing yet this week. Bad blogger!
Truth be told, I've been multitasking. Not very well, mind you, but an earnest attempt is being made. Writing. Kitten loving. Billing. Kitten feeding. Editing. Checking on Zaphod to make sure he's still breathing...just in case.
Yeah, I'm a mess. He's so cute and I've totally fallen under his purring spell. Hours that used to be spent watching horrible television programs are now spent entertaining a kitten with the horrible TV shows playing in the background. Or soothing music. He seems to like jazz. I'll wait a bit before I introduce any retro 80s stuff--Prince might overwhelm him.
And it is true. The publication of my long-awaited article has not changed my life. It appears that I still have to work hard at my words, submit queries and meet deadlines. Sigh. And there I was thinking that everything would fall into place once I finished the manuscript...or found a nice pair of black pants...or found those cute little shoes I coveted way back in April on sale.
All this hanging with a 9-ounce bundle of fur has made me rethink some things. As if I needed to do any more of that, I know. ;) But sometimes we get so tied up in crossing things off our to-do lists, we lose track of what it is that we really want to do as opposed to what we have to do.
Oh, but this is getting way too serious, so here are some more Zaphod photos:

Oooh can't wait for your article and Zaphod is sooo cute. Have I told you how much I love that name?
He looks like a Breeblebox.
I once had a kitten that tiny. His litter box was a small tupperware container, and his meow was so faint you could barely hear it. Then he grew up into a nasty cat that bit so hard, so often, so indiscriminately that he sent our 90-year-old landlady to the ER.
But ... for all that ... it was worth it just to have him as a kitteny bundle of fluff, like your Zaphod.
Zaphod Breeblebox II thanks you Amy. ;)
Oh Heather, the vet says we can't even think about litter boxes for a few more weeks. At least he goes on the newspaper...especially if you're reading it at the time! I wonder if I can get him to attack my creepy neighbour when he gets older. Wow, your poor landlady! Hospitalized by a cat? Ouch!
Oh so tiny and oh so cute. Enjoy this time with him - they grow so fast.
Thanks Nienke! You have such cute ones too. Pets, I mean. ;)
