Sully and Henry

Five weeks exactly until I have open heart surgery.

I apologize for not writing yesterday. It's been a hellish week at work, and after working late- again- I collapsed into bed before 9:00. Sad, I know.

So here I am happily drinking my one can of Coke Zero and watching the movie, Garfield with Will. Bill Murray voices Garfield, so it can't be all that bad, can it?

Speaking of cats, we have two of 'em - a very cute Siamese named Sully, and a very sweet orange tabby named Henry. Sully and Henry have a love-hate relationship. Henry loves to eat and Sully loves to "play" which Henry hates. Sully is relentless in his pursuit of Henry. It gets really annoying when they're fighting, er, I mean playing, on my feet in bed as I'm trying to sleep.

Henry is a lot like Garfield - his main focus is on food. He would eat lasagna every day if we gave it to him. When we open the door to our fridge, he sits right in front and peruses the food selection. (As if he would actually like eggs, bread, juice, and beer.) He is relentless in his pursuit of food.

(I'm really having trouble watching the CG cat. This movie would be better if Garfield wasn't computer generated. What About Bob? is so much better!)

Henry has a real loud purr. And he drools a lot when he purrs. He LOVES RobbieMax. RobbieMax is Henry's very favorite person. I'm not sure how I feel about that, since every other cat we've had has loved me best. Maybe Henry and I will bond while I'm recovering from surgery.

Sully has the cutest face on a cat that I have ever seen. And he's a real sweetie - he's just so focused on what Henry is doing that he doesn't have time to be sweet all that much. We've had Sully longer, which explains it.

Sully loves food, too. We have to bungee the pantry doors together because otherwise Sully will climb in.

Sully has a quiet, almost nonexistent purr. He likes to snuggle and sleeps up by my head, most of the time.

Wow. I really talked a lot about my cats. I didn't mean to do that. The movie just put me in the mood, I guess.

My freak-out moment today was that I have so much work to do and so little time in which to do it. I have so much stuff to get done, and other stuff to prepare and hand off before I go on leave. I'll be working almost every weekend up until then. I'm really not looking forward to that.

Well, I better finish my movie and my Coke. I don't want to be up until 3:30 AM tonight. I gotta work tomorrow.
