Lazy and Tired ...

Maybe I should? I have been keeping such odd hours that I am lazy and tired most days, but I keep getting chunks done out of the many procrastinated projects that have piled up over the long cold winter. I was thinking that I could get some sleep if I applied for a job as an air traffic controller?

LOL (check today's news. There is a story that a controller at Reagan National may have fallen asleep at the post!)

Here's a bit of irony... It was President Reagan who fired the striking air traffic controllers in the early 1980s.

.........

We slipped back into 'winter.' It is below freezing and we may get a small snow cover some time in the day or night. This is the winter that I will remember. Awful.

.........

My friend Bart stopped by yesterday and together we clipped the claws of all six Adams cats. I only got one puncture on my clipping hand. It is a two-person job. He held each one by the nape of the neck, which partially immobilizes the pet. All except the newbie, Quincy, of course. Even hanging like that he managed to skewer my hand. He is also a furious biter, so we were careful.

.........

I ran into a fellow senior golfer yesterday and we discussed when the men's league were planning our season meeting. I am anxious to get on a driving range and begin the exercise I will need before embarrassing myself on the actual golf courses. My bones and muscles have atrophied.

You were lucky to suffer just one small wound. I never could get my cat's claws cut (when I had one.)

My Winnie and Pooh Bear take a v--e--r--y dim view of my solo efforts to clip their claws. Nice that you have help. Do your cats use a scratching post?

Hang in there, my friend. Spring and golf will be here soon.

This crappy weather can easily make bums out of us. I'm sick of boxing and lifting weights, doing crunches, riding the stationary bike--all indoors the basement, no less. Depressing. GET ME OUT OF HERE! I noticed that when I played golf earlier this week, I swung easier (atrophy) and hit the ball better. Now if I can just remember to do that come July!

I'm a great procrastinator, and then when I can't put it off any longer, I'm always surprised how little time that chore took to do. However, not the case with washing windows. Maybe if I did it a lot I'd get good at it.

Doesn't it feel good to get stuff done? I love that feeling.

Get some rest Jondude...

Brunswick is super calm when getting his nails clipped. Haven't tried it with the other two. I thought Rinny was your latest. Who is Quincy. You now have five cats? ??? ?
