Can I Borrow a Scarf, a Sock and a Cat?...

One quilt was not enough this morning....First Tessie tried wrapping herself up like a burrito(no salsa). Her toes kept getting a breeze.

Next she found the brass bed and tried that with Spike as a bed warmer.....

Still not enough...

I was bundled up in bed trying to crochet tiny things with stiff fingers. I was working on a piece of clothing for Tessie. Since I am winging it, I can't really tell what it is until I finish. So far it is orange, raglan sleeved yoke, with a yellow ruffle around the shoulders. It can be a jacket or a cape or even a fancy Snuggie....I wonder why Snuggies don't usually have ruffles? They should have ruffles.

Tessie, sitting up in bed, yelled across the room, "Forget about crocheting. I need to borrow a sock, a scarf and a cat...."

I just shook my head, laughed and kept crocheting, whilst whispering bad words under my breath. There were puffs of white vapor coming out of my mouth as I spoke.

Then I heard her rummaging around in my closet....I watched this scene unfold. She sidled up to Mookie, pulled on one of my "sleeping bag" socks, wrapped a scarf around herself and snuggled down beside him.

At first he looked a bit disgruntled. I could see the wheels turning in his brain. Hmmmm. Warm scarf....

Kind cat that he is, he snuggled up next to her and started to purr.

I thought that it was only fair that Mookie got to share the scarf. I looped it around his neck....He woke up just long enough to approve.

Then he put his head back down and both of them dozed off.

The gas is supposed to be back on within the next 48 hours.....Until then, you will find all of us in the bedroom, under the covers. It is warming up slowly.....

See you tomorrow.
