The Good Life
It was a great long weekend–my brother did a bang-up job with Thanksgiving, we were all there to celebrate, I made a huge dent in some top-secret projects, my friends sent flowers, and the mountains got some snow.
There’s a lot that’s wrong in the world but there’s a lot that’s good, too.
Monday, We Blep At You
Toby says, “What? You’re not going to be home with me today putting out blankets for me to sit on? I don’t think I like that, Mom. I’d better stick my tongue out.”
Golden Afternoons
Sure, going into the mountains is nice, but so is staying home when the wind is cold the sun is angling in and your cat is smiling:

Mousekin’s Golden Ears
Doc sent me this picture of Toby enjoying the sun on the couch during the week, and I immediately thought of these books, and this one in particular:
I don’t know if Toby is the smiling Mousekin or the smiling jack-o-lantern, but he’s definitely a happy kitty.
It’s Monday
Claim your spot in it the way Toby claims the sunny couch this time of year.
It’s Monday
Approach it with the same enthusiasm Toby shows for rolling on any sewing project he can:
It’s Monday
Things may not be great but Toby is here to quiver his whiskers at you and tell you it’ll be OK.
It’s Monday
Be sure to clasp the hand of your loved one and gaze at them sweetly.
(Especially if they left you ALONE for FOUR DAYS last weekend, then you’d better not let them out of your sight and maybe you need to sleep on their pillow for good measure.)
