Doldrums And Funnies

It's been a doldrums kind of week, one where you start to question the meaning of life and lie on the couch with a nineteen-point-five-pound cat on your stomach while you read a ten-pound book and worry that you are getting tennis elbow from holding it up. The book, I mean. The cat merely causes breathing problems.

In other - perhaps related - news, there have been no crises in my life this week, no appointments of any kind, no work deadlines, no meetings . . . and I can think of nothing to write about. There is no adrenaline keeping me alert, no embarrassing moments to pass along, no hurdles hurdled, no accomplishments except the usual rounds of meal-making, laundry, and cat care.

So, it must be time for some funnies. I'm starting to forget which ones I've used, so please excuse me if I repeat any. Thanks, as always, to icanhas.cheezburger.com for the memes.

In no particular order . . .



This actually seems like a darn good idea to me.




Twelve might even be overestimating.




For once, the cat is not the one in trouble.




Works every time, no matter what's in the can!



 

That's how I've felt all week all month as long as I can remember.

 


I bet the cat will win every time.




Was "that thing" a large dog, by any chance?




Man, the dogs are not faring well in these funnies, are they?? That wasn't planned. It's just a horrible coincidence.




Neither. It's a head bonk.




That would be AWESOME :)



Wishing you a weekend of safe passwords, unchewed shoes, un-missing game pieces, and warm fuzzy head bonks. See you on Monday :)

Some nice looking pictures of cats, there. I often think that I should get one. Then I remember that we’ve got two already. I don’t see much of ours but i’m kept up to date with whatever mischief they’re causing. I thought we wouldn’t get any more snow but I was wrong. We did.

I want one of those weeks, Jenny. Where can I order it?

Steve Reed said...

Sometimes things are just sort of ho-hum, right? I love the "cat in hibernation mode"!

Loved the funnies. They were my upper for the day.

Joanne Noragon said...

And the same to you. I need to do something about my 19point5 pound cat.

Martha said...

Warm fuzzy head bonks are nice. Only one of my cats does that but that's okay.

I've had the same kind of week. We got another dump of snow right when it all started to melt, and that's not helping. Hopefully this is the last of it. I'm trying to be optimistic!

Loved the funnies! Happy weekend.

And a warm fuzzy head bonk to you too...see you on Poetry Monday.

jenny_o said...

And there is no shortage of mischief, I bet :) We are getting more snow here as well. But we are supposed to have snow while you aren't!

jenny_o said...

This one just showed up unannounced, like a stray cat, Marie!

jenny_o said...

Yep, ho-hum is exactly the word. It's good, but it's . . . weird . . .

jenny_o said...

I'm happy about that! You can never go wrong with a good funny :)

jenny_o said...

Me too, Joanne. Actually I've been trying for five years now. Her weight never changes.

jenny_o said...

You need to start doing reverse snow dances, Martha! Even if it doesn't work, it will pass the time :)

jenny_o said...

Will do! I'm looking forward to your poem! It's a great topic but I'm not making much headway with it!

Our cat has expanded quite a bit since he showed up here. I don't know how much he weighs, but as his belly became more visible I teased him for a while by calling him "blobcat"... He didn't care, so long as the tuna kept coming.
I did have a cat drop something on me once: it knocked a potted plant off of the windowsill above where I was reading while trying to jump up there. It landed more on my shoulder than my head, but still...

A head bonk can make a lot of things better.
I hope your weekend is filled with fur and purrs. And that the purrs are literal AND metaphorical.

e said...

Head bonks mean love in feline.

jenny_o said...

Nah, cats don't care about anything as trivial as a human's opinion . . .

Yikes on the plant - I bet your feng shui was all wrong with the pot on the windowsill anyhow :)

jenny_o said...

Thanks, EC - and the same to you. Purrs are good.

jenny_o said...

I hope you're getting lots of them as Lukas gets more comfortable, e.

Mr. Shife said...

Happy weekend to you too. The memes were perfect. Thanks for sharing.

Chicken said...

It does seem like a good idea but don't do it Jenny. At least not anytime soon. Have a good weekend.

kylie said...

I like all of the funnies! The one about normal service resuming when the can opener starts seems to sum up my whole life :)

Have a lovely weekend!

River said...

I love the joy on the face of that first kitty :)

River said...

Head bonks mean love? that makes me happy, Angel used to give me head bumps. I'm trying to teach Lola, but she's not keen. Yet.

jenny_o said...

Thanks for dropping in, Mr. S!

jenny_o said...

Don't worry, Chicken; I'll forget it within a day or two anyway :)

jenny_o said...

Aha - you must be the "feeder" of the family!

jenny_o said...

Yes! I smile every time I look at it!

jenny_o said...

But when she does, you'll know them for what they are. Our kitty that looks like Lola didn't do head bonks for a long time, but she does now :) It will happen!

Geo. said...

Uplifting photos much appreciated. Not an easy morning --but improved by your thoughtful humor. Thanks!

jenny_o said...

I hope your day continues to get better, Geo. Wishing you head bonks, whether feline, canine, bovine, squirrel-ine, or human :)

I enjoyed reading those. Laughed at the can opener and the password.
