Diagonal Bat

 

The fourth Saturday in September is Breakfast in Bed Day. It sounds like a great day to celebrate. You have a lovely lie-in while someone else putters quietly in the kitchen. Then that someone brings you something delightful on a tray, like fluffy pancakes with real maple syrup, eggs Benedict, sausage and biscuits, or a bowl of fresh melon chunks. Breakfast in bed isn’t really a thing at my house. Mornings start early here, because that’s when the cat decides they do. She begins by batting at my nose, first with claws in and later with claws out. I hide under the covers, but she pulls them off. I launch her off the bed, but she just comes back. So, I open her can of cat food, then I make the pancakes/eggs/sausage/melon for everyone else. And no, they don’t get their breakfast in bed, either. Because I’m also the one who washes the sheets.
