I have the best cat in the world. In life, I've had a total of 6 cats. All have been best cats in the world.
Definitely a fan of Gruyère cheese.
You can never have enough elephants.
I'll close the door behind us, a tiny tap.
It's where museums tuck away the weird.
We're back to rain today.
Ginza has moved out of her lair on the cat tree and back onto the bed and her heating pad. She's now in her napping mode where she half-rolls onto her back and shows her belly while snoozing. She looks quite comfy while doing that.
We got sunshine this morning. Ginza enjoyed a luxurious sun bath on the bed. I was glad to see it myself. It got sunny yesterday afternoon too.
This winter was a much wetter one than my first on in the PNW. Been a real struggle at times for me and honestly I'm desperately in need of a long stretch of sunny days and temps climbing into the 70s. But that'll be a while yet.
One thing that takes place a few times every day is Ginza doing the rolldorables. Rolldorables are when she gets on the floor near where I'm sitting and she begins rolling around on her back and often waving her front paws at me. She looks adorable doing it, so I combined that with roll and call it her doing a rolldorable.
I think it's her way of communicating love and friendship toward me.
and not on edge about the weather or politics or whatnot.
Just comfy and secure. Warm. Happy. Reassured.
I try to do that for Ginza as best I can.
Didn't sleep too well last night. Think I'm getting sick. Ticklish throat and a drippy nose. I'm grumpy about that.
Still dark and mostly wet around here, but not too wet as the river level forecasts have continued to decline a little. I'm 99.99% certain there'll be no evacuation order for where I live.
Ginza is happily snoozing in her lair.
I looked at her yesterday when she was sprawled on her back sleeping on the bed. She looked comfy and happy and I wished that for myself...to be comfy
That's good news. The latest river level forecast had dropped the forecasted peak river level by almost 2 feet from the forecast earlier today. Probably means that there was less rain than expected today.
Seeing that means I can sleep easier tonight.
Anyhow it's been kinda anxious the last 2 weeks because of the rain that's been falling. As of right now, if the forecast holds as it is, the river flooding levels will crest just a little short of where the country would issue a flood evacuation order for the area where I live...
I mean, a foot higher on the river level forecast and they would be issuing an evacuation order within another six to twelve hours...
Lots of stress, worrying about that.
For now things are okay. Hope they stay so
