What the hell?

So if you know me and have been to my place, you'd know that I'm not the most cleanest person. I don't have trash lying around or major dust bunnies ready to attack you or anything like that but my things have a tendency to not find their way back to where they belong and the dishes do pile up more often than not. But now that I have kittens who explore and chew and play with everything they can get their claws on, I've made an effort to keep my stuff where it belongs and I have even dusted more often. Twice in the past 2 weeks, if you can believe it! And yesterday I took the rugs out, I dusted and vacuumed, even moved the 5 ton couch to get underneath it so you'd think that this place is clean, right? I thought so. I mean it can obviously never be totally cat hair free and with 2 mid long haired kittens it's virtually impossible but I tried.  So why is it that Brooklyn's tail looks like this?

And I didn't use him to dust so there's no reason why his tail should be covered with dust, or dust-like particles!

Ever since I moved here I've wanted black sheets! I didn't have any under sheets that fit my bed so I had to buy some but they didn't have black ones then so I had to settle with other colors. Last week I went and got that black sheet and put them on. And boy are they great! But...it might not be the bestest of ideas to have black sheets when you have 2 black and white cats! Let's just say that after a week the sheets are less than black. But I still love them! The problem is, It's sometimes hard to spot DD from the black ground but thankfully she usually has her paws up!

You can spot Brooklyn easily though

Brooklyn's also a fan of sleeping under covers. 
 He will burrow himself by my feet and get cozy and warm.
It's dark and blurry but Dunkin Donuts has taken over over half the bed in width. And yes, that's how she sleeps sometimes. 
 Whereas BK likes to have covers, DD likes pillows. Middle of the bed between the pillows is her favorite place. The sheets have the fur to prove it!

I'm still not sleeping through the night but when I do have to kick them out it's usually closer to 6 than 4am. DD has learned to not bite me to show her affection and BK is not licking my face as often as he used to so we are definitely making progress. If I had to wake up early it would not be a problem as I have 2 living alarm clocks ready to wake me up before dawn. Now I wake up to Brooklyn positioning himself on or next to my chest and purring as loud as he can with the occasional licks for good measure. He has not learned what NO means so sometimes if it's early I get up, get outside the bedroom and have the cats follow me. When we're outside, I quickly come back inside and close the door on them. I dread the day when they realize what I'm doing and it will stop working on them. But until then... The good thing is, in these 3 months I have learned to not fully wake up when getting them out. I'm kind of sleep walking. If I awoke fully, I wouldn't be able to fall back to sleep and there's just no reason to be up at 6 or 7 am now is there?

Enjoy this beautiful winter day and bundle up! Forecast predicted -27 degrees Celsius for tomorrow few days ago. If that happens it'll be colder than the coldest from last winter in Forssa which was about -20-22 degrees C.



Oh yeah, almost forgot! Got my T-shirt for Pride in the mail today! YES! so excited! Thanks Candice!
