MLK Day & Snow!
I normally have two animals in the room with me. Miller sleeps curled up in the office chair, and Paris snores about a foot away from me in the bed.
So, it was a tad disconcerting when I woke up Monday morning to a few, pointed licks of my face.
OLIVER!
Given that it was only 04:12 in the morning and that his bed is usually two levels below me, I didn’t want to get up.
“Lay down,” I tried.
And he did!
Beside Paris. He ignored the cat.
I considered that three animals was too much, but I went back to sleep for an hour. We all did!
But then, I woke up and looked out the window.
Ugh!
Everything was white.
It looked 🥶
Thought about MLK Day and how OSHA will be off.
Thought about seeing the “I have a dream” clip all day. Which is fine, but not when it’s run on a ‘news’ station that tries to strip every right away from every person of color.
If you believe in policies that strip people of a chance to live a life, don’t pretend to be a friend on MLK Day.
Oliver got antsy.
He ran downstairs and I heard Sam say:
“How did you get out?”
He put Oliver back in his bed, and I laid there in the quiet for a little longer.
Thinking about snow…
…MLK…
…God…
…Covid…
…vacation in a couple of weeks…
…and going back to sleep.
