morning minutiae

Skaterina decided to get back in bed with her morning coffee to knit

and listen to the NPR, or a book before getting up

the NPR is raising money to she puts on the book

All the Light We Cannot See

she is cosy and warm and shaping the gusset on the second tweedy sock

which means that when both gussets are done she can start a new pair

she feels comfy ! cosy !

this is something she never does

she is always up and atom dressed and ready to roll

then

she sees Juanita going across the back yard, heading for the fence

where she goes through to the neighrors yard and the rest of Juanita's

"territory"

Skaterina junps up

opens the door (every room in her house has a door to the outside !)

and calls Juanita !

shoot, she thinks, this is the designated day to STFU and enter the silence

that is, stop talking, speaking, using the old voice

Juanita doesnt respond anyway / disappears

Skateina puts on trousers, slippers, the ones Joelle made for her, and goes

out to get Juanita

who is notorious with the animal control folks

she is the most busted dog in town

also the most known and most cute and most everything

well, doesnt this just take the cake, thinks Skaterina

this is just the sort of activity that has caused her to have cancer !

yes it is

allowing others to be more important and more significant than she is !

no sign of Juanita until Skaterina is around to the front where Juanita

then willingly runs into the house where she will have her food

she eats at Skaterina's while she spends most of her time at the DD's and S.O.L's

she is The Family Dog

and the Center of the Universe

she is the Doggess of UnBridled Joy

makes her people happy and laugh a lot

sooooo

Skaterina, now no longer cosy and warm, helter sketler dressed

rustles up Juanita's grub

we will address the issue of Dog Grub at another time

okay

dog is fed

Skaterina gets back in bed

knitting meditation turns into go to sleep meditation

when she wakes up the second time she still feels comfy and cosy

only having to pee will get me up now, she thinks

or, she also thinks, she can just wet the bed

then they will think she is incontinent

like her mother

well, shucks, Mama was incontinent most of her life

one time over at the nursing home Skaterina helped Mama to the toilet

Mama said, this is why i am in here, isnt it ?

uh, yes

so Skaterina does her Kegels

she wil knit some more and not get up until she is .........

well, what ?
