Weekends are generally pretty tough for the Catman. What for most is a chance to hang out and relax is a reminder to the Catman that he should be hanging out and relaxing. And as he sits and contemplates this, he fails to hang out and relax, and so disappoints himself even more.
This weekend is expected to be particularly tough for the Catman, because his friend J. will be away, at a birthday party on Friday and in Rhode Island (what the Catman refers to as Spider Alley) on Saturday. The Catman did not take this news particularly well.
Catman: i'll just curl up and wait for the weekend to be over

The irony of the Catman, however, is that despite his relatively saturnine demeanor, there is a little flame of optimism in him that will never be quenched.
Catman: if there are any girls at the party, you will tell them about me right?
J: Of course, tiny bud. I will tell them that you were a grood bud to me for a long time, but became very sick and passed away.
J: I will say to them, "you would have loved the catman, he had the kindest smile."
Catman: nah
Catman: don't say that
don't worry catman-- things will look up.
ReplyDeletewhenever I get down, I remind myself that a dog's always gotta eat. If I have nothing else, I have my kibbles and bits.
