Off the Deep End…

Off the Deep End…

Posted by on Aug 17, 2021 | 20 comments

          Houston, we’ve got a problem! Well, I think that’s where mama went (off the deep end that is, not Houston) along with bonkers, over the edge, bananas, nutsy, cuckoo and too many other weird names for places one goes, well, when one goes there.  I think.  As in whatever state SOMEONE would be to want to gaze at crazy...

            BEAT IT, mama!!! Er…please. Well, I know we have discussed this before, but mama thinks perhaps I shouldn’t be so attached to my ‘nanas and actually tried to TAKE ONE OR TWO AWAY…and where would she take them?  Papa doesn’t use them, and mama only fills them up when they get saggy, so on whooom would she bestow my...

                  Is this ever going to change? Well, another week whistled by. Why are they going so fast? How do we slow things down a bit? Around here, we are a bit more emotional than we were before. Not me, of course, I keep my head about me when everyone else is losing theirs, haha, but still, this way of...

                  MAMA, MY DUVET IS DRIPPING! It is SO muggy here that I may have to get in a SHOWER…argggh… Yuk, it’s is DAMP.  The air is heavy on my little furry body and mama and papa are dragging themselves around very slowly what with all of this wet air.  But mama says it’s good for gardenias, whatever...

              Relegated to hot tiles! No, that’s not a ‘Thursday” typo.  I’m thirsty all the time because of this HEAT!!! And also because Cosiquin has worked very well for me and my arthritic shoulder and it makes me a little more Thursday, haha, than usual. But mama’s happy because she puts Oxyfresh in my water and it...

              BACK ALREADY?  Curses! Uh, oh, they barely left before I was hearing the (dreaded) automobile arrive in the garage!  That was a fast trip, you two! I did not have TIME to get my fur all over the newly-washed duvet, flip a little piece of my food (accidentally, haha) onto the floor where the (dreaded) ants...

                    BONNE ROUTE, mama and papa! Well, I’m not, but THEY are going to a town nearby to get papa’s computer fixed (I do NOT like that word!) before it explodes and of course they are leaving me here to fend for myself (heh, heh, little do they know how happy I am to be LEFT TO SNOOZE IN PEACE)...

              Mama leaves me here and says, “Have a ball, Loulou.”  Is she out of her mind? Well, these guys are serious sadists when it comes to some things. Here I am in the garden, just staring (once again) at my new tennis balls.               Uh, merci, folks, these are very nice...

                  I stare, you stare, he, she, it stares, we stare, you stare, they stare…that about covers everyone. Well, last night, after papa (rudely, with maliciousness thought about ahead of time) pushed me over onto mama’s leg to conk out, I started staring at mama, and don’t ask me why we kitties stare...

                  PAPA, why are you suspiciously hovering over me? Well, first it’s change-the-sheets day but EVERY day it’s take-a-nap day and I happen to like beginning this relaxing work-break on papa’s side of the bed, which, in turn, inspires him (because of my cute-i-tude) to give me a...

              What trick will they pull in the future? HAH! Papa and mama were discussing my arrival some 11 or more years ago, and I overheard mama say, “Oh, poor Loulou, I just realized that when I had that Find-A-Kitty feeling, I put the little dish of French tuna in olive oil  out in the garden and Loulou came...

            Mama, I can’t seem to get any colored pigments out of our gravel! Well, mama has never been to Rousillon, but it is supposed  to be a magnificent town of wall colors from ochres in the surrounding hills, which produce really amazing mineral pigments to mix with various media for watercolors, oil or acrylic...

              The birdie is back with family? YAY! Well, in just a little while, now, the swallow family will take off and go wherever they go.  Around here they eat the insects that gather in crowds in summer and one can see the swallows swooping and diving through the throngs of bugs, having nice little aperos before...

  Well, our sweet neighbor, Anne-Marie, saw that a tiny birdy had fallen out of the nest that the hirondelles (swallows) make every year in her eaves, and she saw it was shivering and so put it in a little box with a towel. Aunty Lynne, who is her neighbor, (Anne-Marie’s, but also the swallow’s) says that she even put a little hot water...

                Well, I asked if I could stay here on the comforter/duvet just a little while longer before THEY throw me off (cruelly, forcibly, and with malice thought about ahead of time) to make the bed.  I asked nicely, I smiled, I was my usual persuasive self.              ...
