Mail That Alarm Clock…Cat!

I’m tired today! Up with the cat…darn Kelly! I normally could depend on her as an alarm to wake me up for work. Her internal clock is always as good as mine might be on a good day. Normally she calls me from outside my room with a certain noise I swear sounds like “muuum…nowww”. She [...]
