Jesper's Bad Day

I think you'd consider it a bad day too if you were rudely awakened after snuggling with your two favorite people, shoved in a carrier, trucked to the veterinarian, given shots and then had your butt shaved against your will. The only fuzz extant upon the surface of his entire kitty nether region is a tuft to give his junk a little privacy. Well, what he has left of his junk, and I can clearly see that it ain't much. He's so disturbed by the breeze blowing round his privates that he twitches and hops while he walks.

My dad calls cheesecake, the most potent dessert of all, a weapon of mass destruction. I call it a weapon of ass construction. That's why, when everybody went to The Cheesecake Factory for my Grande Birthdaye Desserte, I ordered the most lovely tower of strawberry shortcake I've ever seen. We had a fabulous time! Aptly, for my Golden Birthday, I received a beautiful diamond necklace from Steven. Its shape is reminiscent of a tongue of flame, or a quarter rest in musical notation. Natty bought me an exquisite beaded onyx bracelet with a tiny gold pendant in the shape of the Sanskrit word "om." Onyx is for endurance in Bikram.

Speaking of weapons of mass destruction, my parents also bought me a Bissel HEPA-toting, dirt-busting death star vacuum cleaner. This baby is so powerful that not even fuzz can escape. I couldn't suppress a nefarious cackle as I assembled it, and it's almost sinful how much fun I have as I... Chase the cats with it... :X

I received RH's present in the mail, and I am delighted and confused by it! It involved treats of deadly goodness (candied ginger, chile-spiced mango, trail mix, peanut sesame cookies and tamarinds!), and a crossword that continues to mystify me. Just when I think I know the answer to a hint, it completely throws off one of my other answers!

Monday was a snow day... A really fun one. ;o) And today was the Day of Endless Errands - I took Jesper in for his shave, had a doctor's appointment, got my car inspected and oil changed, went grocery shopping, got my ass kicked soundly at Bikram, bleached my shower and scrubbed the grout and had the most amazing, deep, milk-chocolate-sleep 2-hour nap. I fear I shall not slumber so unrestrainedly tonight!
