A Day in the Life Of Ronnie

[I swear this will be the last post I make about this cat. I also swear that these posts were taken in succession throughout the day, as presented here.]

Morning finds Ronnie asleep on the couch.

Waking up just took too much out of him.

Poor guy.

About an hour later I found him still on the couch.

But he clearly moved.

Probably to get food, but that's debatable.

Another hour later, unable to keep his head up,

Ronnie stretches out on the couch

to take his late morning nap.

When lunch time rolls around,

Ronnie can be found gazing longingly at his food.

Feeling rejuvenated after lunch,

Ronnie ventures to a new spot for lounging.

Buutttt nothing beats the couch..

..for the rest of the day..

As night falls, Ronnie finds himself

once again at the feeding hole.

Chances are, he was the one that

finished that bowl to his right (it's for the other cat).

Goodnight, Ronnie.

May you meet tomorrow with the same enthusiasm

that you met today (HAH! Joke!)

I haven't kept up with blogging because:

• the weather has been too beautiful to be inside on the computer

• when i am inside on my computer, i'm probably watching Criminal Minds

• i'm busy preparing to leave for my summer job

• i'm busy preparing to switch to a NEW COMPUTER!

....which is currently in...

...China.

True or False

[Answers at the bottom!]

1. I love cameras so I bought another one.

2. I love cameras so much because I now understand everything about them.

3. I recently found out, thanks to all of that blood that was so mercilessly taken from me, that I'm allergic to cats, which provides a partial explanation for my breathing problems whilest running.

4. I've been avoiding eating our bananas so they'll become really ripe and I can make banana bread.

5. I emptied the dishwasher this morning.

***Answers***

1. True! I received this behemoth of a camera in the mail today! A fujifilm instax 210. Because instant pictures are so much fun.

2. False. Falsey false false false. I bought a book that I'm going to have to read several times.. I hope to take a class in the near future.. Like my mom said, it's like a foreign language.

3. False.

4. True. Look at those bananas in all their spotted glory. They look like me at the end of the summer. ...because I get lots of freckles.

5. False. My mom did.

That's all!

Thanks for playing.

Tune in next thursday

when i might do this again

I realize I haven't blogged in a while..

I spent this past weekend back in Washington DC getting trained in Wilderness First Aid. Out in the woods and a tree falls on you, perhaps resulting in a femoral fracture or a head injury? I'm your girl. All of that left me exhausted and pictureless.

Time in Charleston has been enjoyable and relaxing.

I've made new friends..

..spent time with old friends..

...and gotten blood drawn two too many times.

But it'll be worth it when I can run

without fear of any issue

So i'm home..

There's no place like home. I get to enjoy things like home-cooked meals in a clean kitchen, sleeping in, a free gym.. Oh and my family, of course.

And I've gotten to spend a lot of quality time with this guy:

That's Ronnie.

When we first rescued him, he was Scrawny Ronnie. underweight...you get the idea...But after massive amounts of feeding, he became Ronster the Monster. His daily exercise consisted of moving from the couch to the food bowls, then back to the couch (or maybe a different chair if he was feeling particularly ambitious). However, with age and acclimation to a life of luxury (or life with a family that realized that just because the food dish is empty, doesn't mean it has to be refilled) he has slimmed down. He is now a more social cat (almost annoyingly so) and does whatever he pleases with his food (note the location of his tail):
