the summer cats die Sommerkatzen los gatos de verano
it's not the Summer just yet
but Herr Gato and Frau Kitty are ready for it!
Frau Kitty got her new Summer 2013 cardboard house
and she already doesn't want to get out of there
Herr Gato soothes himself from the fact of
not being able to fit in any house, by sunbathing
on a cardboard box on top of the lounging chair
(I know the sun is not bathing yet, but soon, it will...)
San Diego is sunnier than ever but not too hot yet
wonderful weather and enjoying the company
of these lovely felines!
"I am not leaving this sunny home ever!" ~Frau Kitty
"I wish I could fit in one of those houses..." ~Herr Gato
I started writing this on my head On the way back from 7-eleven Where I got a diet pepsi This might be rather misleading Since I don’t really drink much soda And diet soda even less And I usually don’t go to 7-eleven’s Unless is for coffee So was a little unusual
Anyway It is Monday and it is really sunny outside But inside I feel very dull And rather bored It is sunny, & all is very pretty Perfect and nice I have no issues in my life Yet the boredom, oh woman, here I am
I left work and went swimming at the YMCA! With this breaking-record heat in San Diego Over the 80’s, and fire hazards all over the place It felt like a perfect day for swimming I am not a good swimmer at all And I haven’t swam in so long
So what I feel as boredom Might be that relaxed almost lethargic feeling One get after a good swim!
It was quite nice out there I was able to manage a couple of laps on the swimming pool Just 5 and I was in the same lane with 2 older man About 50 and 60, I took breaks in between half laps They didn’t and they did 2 or 3 laps in the meantime I did 1 Rather embarrassing for my gender and age But they didn’t seem to care, since they stop & chatted Every other break, always smiling back
Anyway, here is very hot & blue open sky The little heaven can be boring Too much summer-feel-like sun can be dull in the spring When over-used even beauty or heaven can be dull
Oh I haven’t washed dishes in 3 days I haven’t use many either Been fixing sandwiches and cappucinnos & didn’t do laundry either my place somehow still seems OK another mystery of my domestic life!
I think I am tired (even if in a good way) Both mentally & physically And I mean in a good way Just because I have worked a lot And I did a lot of physical work too So the lethargy seems natural now
The heat although Those curatives rays of sun That give you life and then drain it out of you again
Ah life in the heat, the summer-ville of life Radical difference is the surrounding What an even duller day this might’ve been in a big city But in San Diego, dull & boring, as the evening comes close Is just elder and relaxing Ha! Yes I am old, and i like it! And I feel like Herman Hesse in Baden Baden Or like Miss Marple solving a mystery in a summery castle in England Although today was her day off I might end up in Florida at this pace Rather be dark again… can one be old & manage the secondary effects of a dark train of thought? can one body & mind take it?
i rather swim and smile more i live in California, after all... ironic! & this killing drying but blessed sun i enjoy
More of summer-instead-spring sopor (from dictionary.com sopor –I think this is a code word why I include the dictionary entry) 1.Pathology. a deep, unnatural sleep; lethargy.
