A Very Spastic Morning

[CrazyCatWom]

Woke up this morning with muscles in arms and legs just locking up. Yea!

Breakfast was a peach I got from Sprouts last Saturday. Biting into it, juice running down my chin, I was in heaven! I haven't had a peach like that in 18 years when we moved from our house where we had a lot of fruit trees. I'd eat nothing but the fattest, sweetest, juiciest peaches for 2 months and I've missed them so Much!

Mr. Johnathon T. Fuzzibutt just jumped into my lap, got mad that I wasn't playing wit his bloomers, so he whipped his head over his shoulder so he could very demandingly yell, "MEOW!" in my face.

BTW, for some inexplicable reason, I want to name a cat "Oscar".

I received in the mail, yesterday,my sox! When I saw them, I just had to order them in honor of my mother's 90th birthday, because she would have worn them and rolled up her purple sweatpant leg to show them off!

I am finally coming to terms with the fact I come from a long, proud line of bat guano crazy southern women!

The only problem with having a peach tree is, it spoils you! It wasn't until we started harvesting peaches off of our trees did I really understand what my cousin and aunt meant when they said shrimp you get from the grocery store is'nt even the same species as what my cousin could dump in the pot of boiling water. In their case, my aunt, uncle, and cousin lived on a bayou right off Mobile Bay. My cousin would throw a net off their deck in the morning, and by about 4 p.m. he'd pull the net back up and it would be packed with fresh shrimp! A peach right off the tree just does`nt taste like the same thing as that which came from a grocery store. My mother wore anything that was purple, so she had lots of pairs of purple sweats. But she also would pull the leg bottoms up to her knees so you would see her striped knee-high sox and her polka dotted ankle-high sox. She'd then add her big purple purse, her purple scarf wrapped around the hat band of her pith helmet. And she might be carrying her purple Teddy bear she'd named Mo. Oh! Her runners were bright red, and she wore plaid sunglasses.

Now, a few weeks ago when I was standing in the upstairs bathroom, I noticed how much of that bathroom--towels, rugs, etc., are purple. My favorite color isn't purple. It is "electric" blue, or a deep royal blue. But I even caught myself buying a purple shirt from Amazon.

I'm becoming my mother!

I am reserving the following great cat names for my next cats. Right now Molly, the dog who came with this house, has real antipathy towards all other animal creatures, so I may have to wait a while to live with cats again. But in the meantime, I'm making a list: Ermyntrude Fanshawe ( a chorus girl heroine in a Georgette Heyer mystery)Sir Arthur Billngham-Smith (a surly murder victim also in a Georgette Heyer mystery)

Ignaz Schuppanzigh (an Austrian violinist, friend of Beethoven)

Moriarity (no explanation needed).

And I love your socks. Now that I have to wear compression knee highs every single day, I have a stock of runner's compression socks with hearts, cat paws, polka dots, stripes, paint splotches, flowers, etc. If I have to wear the dad-gum things, I might as well have fun with them! The worst part of every day is trying to get them up over my permanently stiff feet but then their unconventionality makes me happy. I'm no southern Magnolia maid, but I identify as bat guano crazy too.

[CrazyCatWom in reply to goatgal]

Yeah, I'm also having to wear those constriction sox, too. Knee highs are a raging trend with shorts, ya know

All Southern Women are some kind of crazy! Heaven knows I am! We are each born, then raised and trained to be that way! May be something they put in all those deviled eggs...I have a rule about fruit...I won't eat it until I see the tree it came off of.......Yes, I have driven to Florida for Citrus fruit, to Georgia for Peaches and/or Pecans, and regularly drove 2 hours each way to get White peaches fresh off the trees in South Carolina! I'm checking on a Fall crop of red raspberries that should be ripe sometime in late August or early September, and I WILL drive the 3 hours each way to go pick them myself! I lived in Florida for 10 or 11 years and haven't had a decent orange or mandarin since I moved back to NC. Satsumas are to die for, the BEST mandarin I have ever had! Mercy, I love fruit! Hope the spasticity goes away soon. Celebrate being a Crazy as Bat Guano Southern Woman! Might as well enjoy it!

After multiple unsuccessful attempts of stretching I had no choice. I had to say, "Good morning" to a bottle of Baclofen. On the other hand, Mr. Johnathon T. Fuzzibutt got his revenge! Because I hadn't appreciated the access he afforded me to his beautiful, luxurious bloomers, he decided to participate in my vwork out. As I was trying to ease down to the floor to do my push ups and sit ups, but Mr.. Johnathon T. Fuzzibutt felt I should have done it the MS way--just fall, rather than ease down. And since he stayed right under me, in a split second move to avoid crushing him, I land on my left hand at an awkward angle, twisting my wrist.

I fortunately didn't sprain or break my wrist. But I will play with bloomers and primordial pouches, and scratch the base of a tail when presented.

Sounds like your mom’s a hoot! I have an aunt who seems similar. My kids say “ she must’ve been a fun mom” um…thanks guys 🥱 She does keep things interesting & is usually up for anything.I ❤️ peaches but ones here in stores are dried out so not worth it. Yours sounds divine!
