And Winter Ends

3/19/21 Friendly Fill-Ins

1. I look forward to my birthday every spring.

Most years, my birthday falls on the Vernal Equinox.  Sometimes, it's the last day of winter, and that bums me out!  I tend to treat the whole month of March as a 30-day celebration. 😸

2. The highlight of my week was completing my re-listen of the entire Amelia Peabody book series, written by Elizabeth Peters, about a cat-loving British Egyptologist-turned-detective family.

I felt the need to comfort listen again!  There are 19 books, and I posted about my first listen on 9/17/2020.  AND, I've begun The Cormoran Strike audiobooks series...again...because it too is excellent, taking place in modern London.  I understand there is a UK TV series based on these characters, but I haven't seen it yet.

3. I think cross-eyed is the word that best describes me.

I was born with a lazy-eye.  Although I've had surgery to fix it cosmetically as a child, and years of eye therapy, I still have double vision, and do not have depth perception.  It colors my world in subtle ways, such as reading spreadsheets (hell!), playing any game (which ball do I hit?), and when I'm tired, my one eye begins to drift.  This may be why my version of the world is a cock-eyed!

4. Nothing melts my heart like a community cat who allows me to pet him!

I whisper 'puss puss puss' and make smoochy sounds to every cat I see, but most ferals sit like statues, or run away.  Rarely, one will take my bait, and I've had to choke back tears of joy when I am allowed to reach out my hand for petting.

Life is too short not to stick out your tongue!
