What on earth is happening around here? Have those Mothers gone mad?  They were up and out of the house while it was still dark outside this morning!  And it wasn’t much better yesterday! And it’s not as though they had been up for ages and decided they might as well go out … nope the alarm went off, the light went on and out of bed they hopped, straight into their clothes.  What the?  And then they went outside and didn’t come back for ages.  I know where they went though … I could smell it on them when they got back.  They were at coffee! I know they like their coffee but seriously, have they gone mad? Going out for coffee at 5 o’clock in the morning? It would be different if they were doing something as well, but I’m not sure that looking at the sunrise qualifies as “doing something” – especially as it was overcast yesterday and today.  M Kaz took her camera with her and took a photograph or two but really, I don’t see the attraction.
The only good thing about it is that I get to have the whole bed while they’re gone – and there’s a little bit of heat left in the bed from where M Sooz has had the electric blanket on, so I’m not really complaining … just very curious.

M Kaz has been shopping again … and I approve.  I like Iron Man, especially when he’s doing push-ups, and the new clothes organiser she bought fits me to a tee. 

Thank goodness M Kaz has finished her assignments for this TAFE intake. She has been like a bear with a sore head as she worked to get her assignments finished … and the other Mummy was a “study widow” for hours, nay days, at a time.

I did what I could to help her … I stayed in there to encourage her, to remind her to take regular breaks, helped her eat her snacks, sat on her papers to stop them blowing away – it’s been so hot she’s had the fan blowing like a tornado in there – and just being a good study buddy generally … but it wasn’t enough to help her from getting very very stressed. And it’s not like she left everything to the last minute – no, she was studying consistently right from the start of the intake. She even made sure she wasn’t taking on too much study – she didn’t pre-enroll in the next subjects like she often does.

The problem was the subject with the computer coding … she couldn’t get it to work at first and then when she did, the debugging wouldn’t work. She did a lot of reading and researching on the internet but try as she might, she couldn’t work it out. Thank goodness for tutors. She finally called hers on Friday afternoon and he was able to do up a video to show her how the debugging worked. Once she had that, she was much happier and she was able to zip through the rest of the assignment that afternoon.

Yep, bear with a sore head. It’s good that she sent her assignments in yesterday so life can get back to normal around here … until her next unit starts anyway.

It is so hard to find good help these days.  That last post I just did should have been after the others I have been wanting to put up on the blog, but given M Kaz has been so busy lately, I grabbed her while I could, and thought, okay, just get that one up.  But here she is with some more time she’s prepared to give me so I’ll take the opportunity to make a note about Ken Lee.
Ken Lee? The Mothers have been like idiots the last couple of days … one of them says “Ken Lee” and they both burst out laughing.  It’s like a secret joke between them that they’re not letting me in on.  So frustrating!  I know that if I could just get unrestricted access to one of their devices, I could find out about it.

Yippee!  The stars have aligned and I was able to go outside again yesterday – to eat grass (✔️) and look for Lennie (X).  I don’t know where Lennie could have disappeared to … I haven’t seen them for a couple of days now and I am starting to get worried. Anything could have happened to them because Lennie is only a little lizard … I know they look huge with that very long tail, but Lennie is only little – and he would look very tasty to something that was hungry.

Can you believe I have known those Mothers for three years now.  Today – 3 years ago – I arrived at M Kaz’s sister’s place with my sister – and batted my big green eyes at the Mummies, but they didn’t take me home yet.  That wouldn’t happen for another couple of months – when I’d made M Kaz’s sister know that I preferred shoes to just about anything else – and when I paid attention to the Mummies, she thought it would be a good fit – since it had been so long since they’d had a Nigey or any other type of cat – and she sent me home with them – in a laundry basket. I travel in style now though, in a proper cat cage – and yes, it’s a hand-me-down but it’s comfy and I know they love me because they let me use Emma’s old cage – yes, that’s the same Emma who I’ve pushed off the sideboard in her little box – might be a couple of times now I think about it. It’s lovely that when their cats go over that rainbow bridge, they still manage to have them end up in a box!  I still have a few lives to go before I’m anywhere near one of those little boxes – thank goodness!
