Companion Animals

I woke up VERY early this morning. I had washed my hair last night, and I wasn't sure what to do with it all wet when I went to bed. So I wrapped it in a towel and went to sleep like that.

I think I may need to wash my hair more often down here..The air is muckier...I have been feeling like my hair is dirty, and I don't usually feel that way. Or, I didn't in sunnyvale. I washed before it felt that way.

Anyway, I woke up, and it had dried very pretty. I didn't have to do ANYTHING to it.

It is free and curly and pretty. How nice! Espcially on a day when I don't feel so good, having to be up at

4:30

!!!!!

But it is nice to feel pretty, even though I am tired.

Before I woke up and discovered my hair, I lay in bed in a little bit of a stupor. I was listening to some guy talk about...something...Knowing yourself? He was saying something about making sure to live your life the way you know you need to...in the middle of a list of other things he said "...and make sure to have quality time with..." friends and family, right? NO.
"..our companion animals.."

That was not was I was expecting to hear. Is that shallow? In LA, they don't tell you to reach out to your fellow humans, they tell you to spend time with your lapdog.

*smirk*

However, it made me feel guilty about not spending quality time with my companion animal.

Poor Skellig.

As I was about to leave, I was saying goodbye to him, like I always do. He was looking at me, lying in the middle of the living room. I felt bad, so I went up and petted him for a little bit.

He was lying next to a blue mouse. As soon as I petting him, he started chirping, purring and loving on the mouse.

Good kitty!

He really liked it that I petted him. Perhaps I should work it into my morning routine, to pet him for 5 minutes. That shouldn't be too hard. He was very nice.
