The Cable Guy

 "Lynn, I don't care about TV.  I just don't want strangers in the

house.  I'm 'fraid of everyone."

I know Precious.  But one or two times a year, it seems

I must call on outside help.  

This time the lovely company that provided Precious

with her most favorite and unendingly expensive

blue bag, needed to be called upon.

I pay way to much for some basic TV, so when I turn

the boob-tube on, I expect to see what I want to see.

Not a message "weak or no signal".

The good news is the man came at 9 AM when Precious

is having her 6 hour morning beauty nap under the bed.

I closed the door so she could hear less and smell less.

When he replaced a 9 year old cable with a new one

and that fixed the problem, he was gone in 45 minutes.

But Precious was so un-nerved by the smell of his shoes

on the carpet and his hands on the credenza. 

She did get her 5 PM brushing and then dinner.  But instead of

waiting until closer to 6 to get on my legs, she jumped up

at 5:20 and stayed until 8:30 that evening.

And she slept with me!  She usually sleeps in our chair all

night and I check on her at midnight.  In the hot summer,

she sleeps with me since the ceiling fan is right over the end

of the bed.  But this night, she came in at 9:30 and stayed until

5 AM.  She did seem less nervous the next day and went back

to sleeping in the living room with the TV.

"I love my blue bag but don't let anyone in again. They may

steal it and my frog."

Well, you can see the groundhog saw his shadow

Thursday morn.  I was grateful for sunshine as it

is unheard of around here most weeks at a time.

However, he did not make points with me since

he is predicting MORE winter weather as he

safely goes back to bed where he does not care

about the current conditions.

This week Precious has flash frozen eye lashes and whiskers.

Back to winter temps.  10 F at night this week and of course

at 6 AM with window time!

Thanks for stopping by for a visit and a comment.

It is much appreciated.
