Hello most humans and many others,
As I have been sitting here on the dining table, as usual, I have come to the conclusion that change is bad, just like I said before. I don't know what you humans are thinking, but you seem to be causing bad changes that will not be possible to make right - - - ever. Just this week, I saw on the news that there is no ice on Greenland right now. This has never happened before, and it is a really bad thing.
Missy Linda watched a show on TV about some people who live on an island in the Pacific were going to another island to beg the people on the second island to give them some of their land. The first island was fast becoming a death trap for its inhabitants because of the rising water levels. If the people from the first island can't find a place to move, they will starve to death a while before their island is completely under water. It is a really sad story. When this show ended, the people had not been able to find a new home yet. It didn't show if they ever got to move or not - - - maybe because they didn't know what would happen.
It seems that since I have lived here in Oklahoma, it has had terribly hot weather in the summers. It is supposed to be 108 degrees here every day this week! This is dangerous heat for me as well as for you humans and animals. Can you imagine what would happen to me if I got left in a hot car for a while in heat like that? I can't stand to even think about it!
Maybe I should try to think of some ways that change can be good. I'll have to see.

Change is Bad
Hello most humans and many others,
Well, things are going downhill fast around here, according to Missy Linda. I don't notice anything different except Missy Linda is complaining about some new things this week. She seems to be distressed because her headache medication is no longer being manufactured. She says it's the only thing that helps her migraines. I can only hope, for my sake, that she finds something that can take its place.
She is driving us all crazy about the fact that she doesn't want to move. We've all been hearing that for awhile so those of us who have to live with her are about ready to pound her. Maybe we should move to a different place than she does. Don't give her my address if I do that!
Missy Linda and Tio Kane are still mad that the grocery stores in this area have stopped carrying MaraNatha Dark Chocolate Almond Spread. It's available on line, but it is $10 a jar. I guess they don't want it that bad. Just for your own safety, do not suggest to either of them that Nutella is a decent substitute.
You should hear Missy Linda's hissy fit about how she can't find any more of those bamboo socks that she got at Target. She always looks for them when she goes there, and she looks other places, too. She was so happy with them because they were so soft, and they kept her feet much cooler than regular socks. She has one of those tirades every once in a while. It is quite the sight when she really goes off the road about it.
Well, I suppose that's enough about how Missy Linda's life has deteriorated because of how things have changed. When Missy Linda's life gets worse, she makes my life worse. I don't like that at all!

Normalcy
Hello most humans and many others,
Well, I have to admit that I will be glad when it gets to be 10:00 pm this evening. The Daily Show, followed by The Colbert Report, will be back on after a two week vacation. I am hoping that Missy Linda will start acting more normal after she gets her fix again.
It seems that she hadn't realized the shows were going to be on a two-week vacation. When she got back from visiting in Colorado, she was ready for some Jon and Stephen because the Harkeys, whom she was visiting, watch hardly any TV. Also, they don't have Comedy Central. She was kind of in comedy withdrawal in addition to being forced back into her crappy life after a nice trip. She almost freaked, but she kind of held it together when she realized it would be another week without seeing her shows.
I think that today, I see a tiny glimmer of hope in those dead eyes of hers. I can only hope that Jon and Stephen come through for me with some great shows tonight so my life will get better for a short time by making Missy Linda a little bit happy. If Missy Linda is less miserable, she makes me less miserable.

Real World
Hello most humans and many others,
Well, Missy Linda has been back from vacation for over a week now, and she doesn't seem refreshed or energized or whatever you humans are supposed to feel after a vacation. She seems kind of down to me. Of course, there's nothing new about that for her, but why do you humans go on trips if you feel worse when you get back? That's probably one of those human things that I will never understand.
Missy Linda has always said (since I've known her) that she wants a little house by some kind of water. She would really love a clear stream like the one that flows through Turner Falls Park to go by her home. Evidently, where she visited up by Rocky Mountain National Park, there are lots of little houses right by clear mountain rivers. It made her all mopey to come back to reality, I suppose. Or maybe she just realized again that she will never have that little house. I say to her, "Snap out of it!"

Home From Her Trip
Hello most humans and many others,
Well, Missy Linda got home from her trip to Fort Collins, Co, on Friday evening. She must have had a good time. I wouldn't know for sure because I wasn't allowed to go. She said that there wasn't room in her suitcase for me, and she said I wouldn't fit under the seat in the airplane. That meant that I would not be allowed to go with her. I wouldn't really have expected to be allowed to go anyway since I never get to do anything any more.
I heard her say that she went to a lot of good restaurants. She went up into the mountains without being scared like she says she used to be. She says her knees are sore, but, other than that, she's all right. She used to be scared to death of heights, but she's a lot more mellow now, she says. She wonders if it is because she has bigger problems now so heights aren't so daunting. I say, "Who cares?"

High Pressure Dome
Hello most humans and many others,
Well, I'm not sure why, but when Missy Linda has her headaches, I don't get to use the computer. It seems that would be the time that I could use it all I want because she doesn't use it as much. I think sometimes she is kind of in some other universe. I have learned what kind of look she has on her face and how her eyes are kind of glazed over when she's in that fugue state, but I can't make it work for me. I'll get it figured out to my advantage sooner or later.
High Pressure Dome in summer weather talk is hot, hot, hot clear weather that is hammered down onto people's heads. That's how Missy Linda describes it. I think she has an excuse for any kind of weather to bother her, except that one day in spring and one day in fall when it is all right. So I get two days a year when Missy Linda has a little chance of being pleasant. Not good odds!

Cats Get Asthma?
Hello most humans and many others,
Mr. Mushu was really sick last week. He had a really runny nose and was sneezing and sounded like a truck without a muffler when he breathed. (Missy Linda said that about the truck. I don't even know what a muffler is.) Anyway, he was sick enough to go to the vet.
It turns out that Mr. Mushu has asthma. Missy Linda said that she thought that cats just caused asthma. She had never heard of that before. I think there are probably more than a few things that Missy Linda has never heard of. Anyway, he also has an infection right now which has to be treated with pills.
Oh, my. You cannot even imagine the carrying on and the hollering sometimes when it's pill time---and that's just Missy Linda. I think, though, that they are finally getting the routine worked out better. I haven't seen as many scratches on Missy Linda the last day or two.
Missy Linda is hoping that Mr. Mushu will not require more medicine after this batch of pills. She said that she is not going to learn to use an inhaler on a cat!

Forest Fire
Hello most humans and many others,
Well, that big fire in Colorado is near where Missy Elise and her family live. They aren't worried about their house because it is on the other side of town from the foothills so the fire would have to go all the way across there to get to them. Also, if it should go toward town, there is not much fuel for it to advance so rapidly. In the mountains, it is burning dead and dry pine trees, and there isn't as much fuel toward town. Also, it would have to cross highways and lots of other barriers.
Missy Elise says sometimes they can smell it a lot, but not all the time. Missy Linda hopes it is out in the next couple of weeks before she goes up there to visit.
Thunder Up!

Vivid Dreams
Hello most humans and many others,
Missy Linda says she feels a little discombobulated today. She had one of her "vivid dreams" last night. These are those dreams that when you wake up, you have trouble figuring out if the dream was something that really happened. She hates it when these dreams have that Mr. who used to live here in them. Sadly for her, they usually do.
She says that the dream she had last night had lots of her dead relatives in it, along with that Mr. In it, the Mr. was doing many of the things to annoy her that he did when he lived here, but she was glad to see some of the people she can't see in real life any more. She saw her mother and her Aunt Zedna. In the dream, her daddy reads my blog about Missy Linda, and she finds that truly fantastic, in all the ways that word can be construed. She likes to feel that one of her parents would approve of her life, but she is sure that in reality, neither would. She says she grabs onto whatever she can get. I just think she is at least as crazy as I think she is. She's just not ever going to be normal, so I should just accept that, I suppose.

Can People Get Cat Diseases?
Hello most humans and many others,
I was just wondering if humans can get diseases from their cats. Mr. Mushu started sneezing yesterday. He hasn't really done that before, and he doesn't go anywhere to catch anything. He literally goes no further than the garage since Mr. Nelson came to live here because they HATE each other. One time they ran into each other on the driveway, and Mr. Mushu wants none of that business.
Anyway, Mr. Mushu sneezed all night long, a lot of which was spent on Missy Linda's bed. When Mr. Mushu wants a late night snack, he gets right in Missy Linda's face and meows. If that doesn't work, he starts poking her with his paw. He uses a combination of these until she gets him a snack. (Perhaps that's why he weighs at least 25 pounds.)
So last night, when Mr. Mushu wanted a snack, he would sneeze right in Missy Linda's face. That woke her instantly, but she was not in a very good mood. According to her, even when he wasn't in her face, he was someplace else on the bed, sneezing. She is convinced she is going to catch some horrible cat virus.
If Missy Linda should die of some disease that she caught from a cat, do you know how humiliating that would be for me? It would probably be at least on the local news, depending on the weirdness of the virus or disease. How embarrassing would that be?
