Just sitting there, minding my own, taking in a distance view out the window ('cause she's got those windows open again with that c-c-cold air comin' in, meowz). And I hear her say, "see that purple box by your toes, get to work little girl!"
But it's my afternoon easy time, almost nap time, work? Then she says (which translates to complains) that the car door closed on her left paw last week and it's still swollen and sore, and this morning she did hurties to her right paw and now it is all red-and-achey, too. So it is incumbent upon me (what is incumbent?) to do all our ChrissyMouse Cards ... because, because MONDAY is Christmas Card Day and they have to go to the man in blue shorts so he can take them to all the friends 'n' furriends we care about, except up in Canada, where they'll wait around until Valentine's Day for delivery maybe.

I look down. OMC. There's my fave pink pen.
How many cards are in those boxes?
Does she really seriously think I'll get this done in time?
After all, I'm only just out of kittengarten,
I can't write ... I only print ... that takes longer ...

One way or t'other, that pen is going to the floor.
As soon as she leaves the room ...
I love rolling it around,
rolling it here and there,
rolling it everywhere ...

writing cards with it,
well, that's a whole different matter.
We'll see about that.
That's a lot of work for a little cat!

Oh, dear, June - it seems a kitty's work is neffur done! Good luck with those cards. Hope your Mommy's paws get better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, Miss June, we hope the mom's hand is healing soon. We don't do cards much anymore except for the stuff mom makes for all the grandkids these days. Dad says they don't have a big circle of friends anyway, and the few they did have seem to have dropped off the face of the earth, whatever that means. You know, that darn pen was just asking to be knocked off and batted around as far as I'm concerned. Last week, while dad was mutt-sitting, he dropped a pair of glass baking dishes and tried to catch them like an idiot. He got a good slice in one of his fingers and it's just now finally sealed up nicely. His hands get real dry in the winter and mom's always scolding him like a child (as she has to about EVERYTHING) and the dishes were quite slick.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of work, June, sending cards by post. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh noooooooooooooo June I am so sorry mine Mommy has hurt paws. Gracious me sending lots of healing.
ReplyDeleteAs for getting the cards out...under the current circumstances as long as they arrive before December 2025...
they are good
Hugs Cecilia
Oh noes, June!
ReplyDeleteMy stack of cards need attention too...it's way late for us, but that postal strike in Canada sorta put a damper on our excitement as a good chunk of our addressees are in The Great White North.
Maybe later today...
We're sorry to hear your mom hurt her paws and we have our paws crossed that she feels better soon. You are such a cutie and we're sure you will do your best to help your mom with your cards.
ReplyDeleteJunie, owr mums are really into dee self torchure fingy! junie, yoo r ..a..eh...shaped like a kissymouse tree.....jus saying....i guess all ov us r
ReplyDeleteOh my, June, those cards look like a huge undertaking for someone! Hoping your Mom's paws feel better soon. I loved sending cards but just can't do that anymore.
ReplyDeleteso sorry about the two paw accidents.. I had quite a few cleaning up after 3 hurricanes
ReplyDeleteI hope your Mommy's paws soon feel better. I have sent all my overseas cards and hopefully most of them have arrived by now. I sent the Canada ones as well in the hope that they arrive eventually. My UK cards go out tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOh no - that's awful about your mom's paws, Juney, and you have a lot of work ahead of you.
ReplyDeleteOur Christmas card will be late, and not because of the strike just because we are a week behind in life these days. We hope the mail strike ends soon. Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteWe're sorry to hear about Mom Ann's hurty paws, Juney. We are purring she's feeling better soon. As for those cards, you just do your best, okay? Somehow it's gonna work out. XO
ReplyDeleteOh no! You've got your work cut out for you!
ReplyDeleteOuch! Purrs for paw healing! I know you got it covered sweet June.
ReplyDeleteDon't lose her pen. :) XO
ReplyDeleteOh June, please give your Mommy some gentle kisses from us. We hope her feeties will be OK. We need to remind our Mom to get on the stick with her cards too.
ReplyDeleteWoos - Misty and Timber
We think you're Mommy is going to have to wait until she can write and stuff and seal again. Our Mom just now got our card sent off to the printers. *sigh* She blames it on her 'puter being in the shop. XOX Xena and my pack
ReplyDeleteHope your mum's paws are feeling a lot better very soon, so many cards to fill out, I confess we haven't even thought about sending Christmas cards yet this year ooops xxx
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're going to be busy, June. I hope you are compensated well.
ReplyDeleteWriting or Printing!?!? I, Marv would NOT do that! (Paint brushes are my forte - I LOVE knocking them out of the glass of water). I will let you get back to your chore. Your #1 Fan Boy Marvelous Marv
ReplyDeleteCharlee: "That's quite the stack of boxes!"
ReplyDeleteOona: "Oona has heard that the pen is mightier than the sword, but she says the ninja is mightier than both ..."
It's not easy to do the cards, you have my sympathy.
ReplyDeleteWe sure hope those ouchie hands/paws are getting better by now. I just finished my ecard...now to get it sent to all those who are slated t get one...and no snail card to be done by petcretary this year, unless they don't have a 'puter...
ReplyDeleteWe've been trying out or arm and back muscles to shovel all the snow we've been having here. 4 inches on top of ice from Wed-Thursday. The roads were awful. Rain on Sunday and Monday..to melt it all in time for the next dump! Sheesh!
