Luna is exhausted in this picture. That’s because she’s recovering from her enthusiasm about our return home from Philly. It takes a lot out of a kitty to hold her humans down so she can inspect them properly after they’ve been away for a few days! Not that both of us weren’t willing to drop as well – we just needed to be where she could see us and lay on top of us as the mood struck her.
Once we managed to coax her out from under the couch, that is.
We were at this year’s American Library Association Annual Conference and a good time was definitely had by all. For Galen, the conference itself was all work, while I mostly spent time with friends. We also did a bit of family visiting in the area and came back tired but happy and glad to be home.
We missed the cats, and we’re both grateful that this bunch doesn’t act standoffish when we come home. They forgive very easily because they miss us too. Whoever said cats were aloof clearly didn’t have one of their own because they are so not.
As much fun as the trip was, it’s great to be back home with the ‘children’ and get back to regular routines and just everything that means home – even if the world at large seems to be more fraught by the day.
I hope that your Fourth of July weekend has been a good one!
