The week is flying by, but Chicago is blessedly free of the snow and storms that are afflicting the coasts. Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili is still unable to find the Door To Summer:
Hili: I don’t see any way out.A: Shall I open the window for you?Hili: No, I have to accept that it is cold out there.
In Polish:Hili: Nie widzę wyjścia.
Ja: Otworzyć ci okno?
Hili: Nie, muszę zaakceptować, że tam jest zimno.
She may be a little ‘plump’ but she looks in very fine fettle & the extra pounds are probably Nature’s way of helping her against the cold!
She is such a beautiful cat. Reminds me of my torbie, who was a tabby calico
We are getting the snow from the coasts now. This is why I had a migraine yesterday that is trying to come back today (I’ve medicated myself both days). Looks like you’ll miss this precipitation too!
While still a kitten, all fluff and buzzes, Pete had worked out a simple philosophy. I was in charge of quarters, rations, and weather; he was in charge of everything else. But he held me especially responsible for weather.
Connecticut winters are good only for Christmas cards; regularly that winter Pete would check his own door, refuse to go out it because of that unpleasant white stuff beyond it (he was no fool), then badger me to open a people door.
He had a fixed conviction that at least one of them must lead into summer weather. Each time this meant that I had to go around with him to each of eleven doors, held it open while he
satisfied himself that it was winter out that way, too, then go on to the next door, while his criticisms of my mismanagement grew more bitter with each disappointment.
Then he would stay indoors until hydraulic pressure utterly forced him outside. When he
returned the ice in his pads would sound like little clogs on the wooden floor and he would glare at me and refuse to purr until he had chewed it all out. . . whereupon he would forgive me until the next time.
But he never gave up his search for the Door into Summer.
Is that from this?

Yup.
