The Comeback Trail


Dearest Faithful Readers,
Forgive my long silence these past few weeks, but I have had a most trying time with all this heat.  I have had this experience many years ago and know it well…yes, I have had the vapors! I have been listless and sluggish and unwilling to make much effort beyond making my way to the food bowl, litter box and the recliner. I try to humor Father Daniel and step out on to the front porch. But then the humidity and hot air force me to a quick air-conditioned retreat.  I see on the forecast (yes, I have been watching way too much television) that we are looking at lower temperatures this week, and I find myself feeling a tad more frisky. Lady Ginty is advising me on my need for weight watching. I have done nothing this summer about my tummy which has been ever expanding during this “vapor” phase. I shall find the necessary resolve to become my robust an sleek self without delay…oh wait, I believe a National Geographic special about white rats is about to come on….
