Wrapped Around His Paw

I used to tell my flatmate that she was spoiling her cat, Zeus. "You need to have boundaries." I saw myself as the strict auntie who gives him tough love. 

I now find myself adjusting my routines around Zeus. 

Zeus likes to go out at 5am. Sometimes, I'm up around 4am to use the toilet. The moment Zeus sees I'm up, he follows me to my bedroom and jumps on my bed for cuddles. After I pet him for a few minutes, I let him lie next to me while I try to go back to sleep. At 5am, he jumps off the bed signifying that he needs to go out. I have to get up and let him out.

If I don't wake up to use the toilet, Zeus waits till 5am and then knocks on his mum's door to let him out.

While I was changing my bedsheet and duvet cover, I was going to remove the bed cover, as it's getting too warm for it. I decided to leave the cover on for Zeus to lie on and do his kneading as he likes the soft texture.

I'm already thinking that when my flatmate goes away, I will try to wake up every day at 4.30am to give him his cuddles for half an hour before I let him out at 5am.

The things you do for love. ❤️

My flatmate thinks it's hilarious how Zeus has managed to wrap me around his little paw. 😀

Here's a photo and video (filmed by his mummy) of Zeus up a tree in our back garden. He was chasing a magpie.

Second of November

While my colleague and I were letting the audience into the auditorium, this man said to me,, "Is it the second or the third today?" "It's the second of November today," I said. "I meant is it the second or third concerto?" he said.  I burst out laughing. His wife told him to check the programme. Before they went in, he told me my response could be used in a comedy sketch. That's what you get when you ask a literalist, like me, a question. 😄

Indiana Jones

Today, I was working as a host at three graduation ceremonies from the same university. At the end of each ceremony, the orchestra they had on stage played the theme song from the film, "Indiana Jones", composed by John Williams. By the end of my shift, I had that song stuck in my head. On the way home, I stopped at this restaurant to get some food then walked to the bus stop  As the bus I wanted got cancelled, I decided to travel a different route, which took a lot longer.  When I finally got home, I had a quick shower. I then turned on my laptop to watch some mindless TV on this film channel. Guess what film they had on? "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." Very funny, God! 😂 Of course, I had to watch it again, even though I've seen it a zillion times. I never get tired of Indiana Jones films or that theme song. ❤️

Bananas

 A few days ago while I was grocery shopping, I wondered if I should get some bananas, but I decided not to as they don't last long. That's why I only buy a banana when I fancy one in that moment.  I got red grapes instead which last a lot longer. Yesterday, I didn't see my flatmate as I was already in bed by the time she got home. This morning when I went in the kitchen, I noticed my flatmate had left a note on the kitchen top for me to have these two bananas. I immediately gobbled one up. Thank you, God, for providing my bananas through my flatmate. ♥️ Photo of the note and bananas 😊
