Of Mice And Men

So the guy I do tractor business with stopped by last night because someone had abandoned a days-old kitten at his shop. He thought for some reason that I needed/wanted a kitten/cat. I don't. I don't like cats. Moonpie doesn't like cats. I said, "Absolutely not."

So now I have a days-old kitten in a little crate just off the east door with a small cup of water and a small plate of tuna. God help me it's not a bad looking cat, and Moonpie could certainly use some help with the field mice. If it survives, it'll be treated like a barn cat, a really well-treated barn cat.

Oh, and I was sober for 2 years yesterday. Today I'm sober for 2 years and 1 day. I was working on the mini-truck yesterday morning and kind of forgot.

Yeah, whatever, cat hater. It probably sleeps on your pillow at night. Assuming you have a pillow.

Two years and a day (two days, now). Well done.

Excuse me but, ah-hahahahaha. That's how I ever ended up with any either, and it's even worse with kids. Resistance is much lower.

Congrats on the extended clarity.

Working on the min-truck yesterday and it slipped my mind.

That's the best news.

Moonpie will become friends with your new cat within...wait, you posted this 2 weeks ago. I'm guessing they're already hanging out like old friends.

Hey dude! Long time no see. 2 years is excellent. We support you, albeit with a certain virtual savoir faire. You missed the Philly Fourth of July jam. It was kind of great.

Oh, and, how nerdy is it that I am excited about this:

Two is so great, now you can say you have *years* of sobriety. I'm glad for you.
I ponder what'd you name Moonpie's kitten.

Curious as to how the cat thing has worked out.

(Also, congrats.)

hey! do you ever write here anymore? Congratulations on the two years (now almost 2 and a half years) I always have the worst time trying to sign in to post to your blog, its very frustrating. It won't even take me as anonymous but I will try. This is Nancy, btw

It took me! This is Nancy again. All those carefully crafted witty responses that were lost over the last year, trying to post here. Unfortunate that I have nothing to say now.

I stalk your blog, and am posting today for no apparent reason.

Congrats on 2 years and on the kitten.

Who is probably a cat now. How about a picture?
