I’m very droopy, as you predict, Mary Lou, much nap. But all is going well. Perdita remains jumpy and anxious. I wonder if she will eventually come back to my bed? We were inseparable from kittenhood until Paradox displaced her. Now she sleeps Wafa, who feeds her. She is trying to slim her down a bit. Perdita doesn’t like that.
Wafa takes grand care of me, better perhaps than Cramond at bullying me into doing exercises. Certainly better at seasoning our food.
No knitting. Some attention to duty, but not much.
Wordle: I failed! Winning streak cut short in the early fifties.
Yesterday’s word was AZURE. My preceding word had been ALURE. That’s the one that provoked WordleBot into hinting that it wasn’t a word. Is there a different way to spell it?
Today I started with one brown tile from my two starters, and things never got much better. There were poor scores all round. Alexander and Thomas both needed six. Five for Roger. Then things get better. Four for Ketki, Mark, and Theo. A brilliant three for Rachel.
I checked alure, as I didn't recognise it, even typing this, autocorrect didn't recognise it. It's a fairly esoteric word, meaning passage, gallery. While allure is a more usual word, entice or charm.

DeleteI failed today, too. I started with one brown vowel, which wasn’t a lot of help. Cam
ReplyDeleteAbout Perdita, my husband and I each had a dog. His dog was much older and eventually had to put down. My dog wandered around for a couple days, looking for something and seeming a little confused. I finally asked her, “Are you looking for Tiffie? She’s not coming back.” She gave a little joyful jump and was fine. So, if you haven’t already told Perdita that Paradox isn’t coming back, maybe you need to! Cam
ReplyDeleteI got azure on six, after a word I can't remember of which the bot disapproved! I'm sure Perdita will come back around. The feeding may be key, here. If you do it sometimes, she might decide you are both ok. My horse gets a daily med in a horse muffin. Several people help with it, as they are out to the barn daily. As a result, she now comes to anyone who calls her, hoping it may be the treat!
ReplyDeleteDawninni, thank you. I didn't know "alure" was a word!
ReplyDeleteJean, Perdita should forgive you soon, especially if you feed her. Moving is strenuous for everyone, as is any major change or series of smaller changes.
Could you keep a cat proof tin of cat treats nearby to encourage her? They say a way to a man's heart is through his stomach and maybe it works for cats too!
