Fill-ins exhaust me sometimes… Okay, that title is a stretch, but what the heck. I’m running out of words with “fill” in them, haha. 1. When I meow very loudly in the car, uh, oh__, it means that I am sick. 2. I __like seeing them but not hearing__fireworks. 3. I have a newfound appreciation for __GETTING HOME FROM MY VET AND OUT OF THAT CAR! 4. I think...

 I wish I could remember to sleep LYING DOWN!!! Well, sometimes the things we are trying to remember may not be the important things that we easily DO remember and seem to appear at the right moment out of our way-too-filled-up-grey-matter.

Well, mama got a bit up close and personal, if you ask me, but no one did. Have a rollicking, reckless, riotous Sunday and celebrate SUMMER!
