On dating, men, cats and goldfish

Dating, especially men, is highly overrated due to hormonal influence and thus resulting romantic clouding of judgemental capabililties …

I therefore have resorted to dating my cats who-over the years-have shown a high threshold of tolerance and acceptance of my quirks and personality.

Having said that the only remaining cat left me in favor of nibbling on a late night snack. Where can you turn to when even the last cat left you?

Damn, I can’t even be a cat-lady for heavens sake! Tomorrow I am going to buy a goldfish in a bowl. The chances of him leaving are scarce. I assume.

A goldfish will provide stability and TLC. If that works out I am contemplating getting a second goldfish.The future is looking bright again.

Time

Somebody stole an hour of my life! Can't remember what I did between 2 and 3 am. Wait ... there WAS no "between"!

The heart wants what the heart wants ...

If deleting the hearts desires were as easy as deleting pictures from the computer would we all walk around with a clean "heart"drive?

Hell hath no fury ...

Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned. Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.

Dr Mouse - Mental Notes

Throwing up furball with disgust ... an "italian Mouse" is hard to digest. 

Mental note to myself:

Always eat locally!

Mental Note No. 2:

Always listen to what others have to say when own brain is clouded!

Mental Note No. 3:

Nobody can hurt you more than you let them!

Mental Note No. 4:

Listen to your own advice! And stop writing stupid mental notes. Sing angry song and get it over with!

Mental Note No. 5:

No use writing mental notes when your brain shortcircuits due to hormonal overflow they'll be lost. Better write on paper!

Mental Note No. 6:

A purring cat rubbing up and down your elbow means pure love! Who needs an "italian Mouse" when you have the love of a cat!

Mental Note No. 7:

You can cry if you want to ... it's your party! Crying works better with the right soundtrack. Preferrably sad. Sugestions?

Mental Note No. 8:

Never write more than 10 mental notes or else you might forget why you wrote them in the first place.

Mental Note No. 9:

Keep on feeling better, 
love be pleased and stay. 
Rreally doesn't matter, 
wake me up today. Malika Ayane-Feeling better...

Mental Note No. 10:

I'm feeling angry.Thoughts of what you said are spinning round in head. Lovin' life right now but you're dragging me down

Snoring ....

Somewhere I read that in the ancient times men used to snore to protect them and their families from eing eaten by predators at night. 

Now how do I get the point across to the "modern man", that this kind of behaviour is no longer neccessary due to the fact that the wild cats roaming the bed at night are properly fed and otherwise mostly harmless?

Self awareness

Just realizing that cats have a completely different self-awareness than we . How else can be explained that the 7 kg cat seems to think he has to fit with all 4 paws on one single kneecap?

Not now ...

Please heart ... don't beat so loud, don't give my feelings away ...

Keep calm, watch him walk out the door 

Please tears ... stay away ...

don't cloud my vision, while he walks out the door

Please words ... don't slip out of my lips

with the break in my voice you'll give me away

Please hands ... let go of the feeling

with the twitching of a finger you'll give me away

Don't take your love away

I am looking for an inspiration

And I think I found it in your heart

It's the kind of thing you get when you're not looking 

It's the kind of thing you had from the start 

Put me on a ship that is sinking 

On a voyage to an untamed land 

Take away the freedoms I wanted 

I understand

Please, don't take your love away from me

Don't take your love away from me

(VAST- Don't take your love away)

One of these days ...

One of these days

Today is one of these days where "the colleague" has an insatiable appetite for - wait for it: anything edible.

I wrote an email to the colleagues today that I brought in muffins and smoothies, and a plate of tomato mozzarella basil with balsamico and olive oil and a baguette. So whoever doesn't like sweet can have the latter. The big feast is scheduled for 3 pm.

Some of the colleagues who work part time or have to leave early today came together earlier and we had a nice little chat. "The colleague" had a muffin and some tomato mozzarella with baguette, then left for lunch and now came back from lunch and brought with her a pack of chocolate covered buttercookies which - by the time I wrote this - is now gone.

I still don't know if I should be jealous, in awe or disgusted.

I think I'll wait until afternoon to watch what else "the colleague" will devour and then make a decision.
