Last week on, "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me" they were talking about cats. They said cats don't forgive. Paula Poundstone begged to differ and offered an example of her own cat.
I completely agree with Paula Poundstone. Our cats forgive us. I've stepped on Atticus' tail, he forgives me by sticking his wet nose in my face.
Yesterday, I sat on Juliette! She has forgiven me, because she's sitting next to me right now (not to mention that she came right back and sat on my lap after I tried sitting on hers).
We have started shutting the cats out of the bedroom at night to prevent any more mice incidents as well as giving ourselves a good nights sleep. If you have a pet (and you've let them into the bedroom at night), you know what I'm talking about. The tiniest pet will suddenly be able to take up the entire bed. Leaving the humans a sliver of space, a strip of covers, and either fart in your face or breathe directly into your face.
We should all try to forgive as freely and lovingly as our pets.

Celebrate
There are things happening around us (Bill and me) that may not give us reason to celebrate.
My grandmother had a TIA last Friday and is still in the hospital.
Atticus brought a half-dead mouse into our bedroom last night.
I did not get a good night's sleep after that.
Bill's car is still in the shop and will hopefully be ready by the end of this week (if the part they need to fix it arrives).
However, there are things to celebrate.
My grandmother will be turning 94 this month.
Atticus is a good hunter and Bill is amazing because he removed the half-dead mouse from our bedroom.
Juliette has been with us for thirteen years on Tuesday. Also on Tuesday, we will celebrate my parents' 48th anniversary.
Bill will start his new job a week from tomorrow.
We finished the guest room and we are moving in the furniture.

Beloved
Ha, this reminds me of the SNL 40th Anniversary special and the Jeopardy sketch. Did you see it? Do you know what I'm going to reference? If not, this is the setup: Darrell Hammond as Sean Connery asking Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek for the category "The Rapists" and Alex irritatingly saying, "that's therapists."
Sorry, it's sort of tasteless for this post and the purpose, but beloved made me think of that.
Be loved.
Or beloved.
See?
Don't worry if you don't get it. My brain is on its own track.
Back to beloved. I think it's quite obvious who my beloved is.
Juliette of course.
What? That's not what you were expecting me to say?
Oh, you thought I'd say Bill.
Yes, he's my beloved. I'm still on the same track as earlier. Okay, maybe I should just stop here.
