I may be spoiled. @drn2dream has become quite a kitchen master this past year. Nova didn't want to come home but you can't let it spoil on the fridge. Shout out to @thecookingguy for his recent lobster video. 
I put pillows on the couch to block Ficus from taking my spot. She took it as an invitation. While I'm here, we are in search of a new couch and everything we've seen SUCKS. No wonder the pets always fight over their spots. Shopping for a couch that is awesome and will also fit through our door in an upstairs apartment during a pandemic is the worst! (Checking the privilege but ugggh) 
I'm a liar and I've aged my cat more than she was. While cleaning a closet, I discovered documents that Kiwi was born 5/30/2000. So she isn't 22 as I thought. She is still aged and wobbly and very much alive. It makes no difference to us except that we'll do all we can to please her until her time comes. 
Today's floofs. 
We got @sdzsafaripark in the late afternoon. Not really a fan when it's super crowded so we generally try to avoid weekends altogether. I was less annoyed by the flouting mask roles and more by the groups that are maskless while also blocking entire walkways, but by the very end of the day, we got some special time with Polly and Mwezi. Also overheard some hot goss about the rivalries of #sandiegozoo photographers which was quite entertaining . 
Free cat massages. She started with making biscuits on my butt, worked down my hammys, and is now engaged with my calves. I wonder how long she'll keep going. 🐱😄 
Had a late afternoon jaunt at @sandiegozoo and got some precious time alone with hippos Funani and "beautiful one" Amahle. 
When you put on a jacket so the dog assumes it's time for her walk. (It's not) 
Kitty's first time exploring since they took our fence and butchered our trees. 
Some snaps from Thursday afternoon at @sandiegozoo. If anyone knows what that little deer-dog with the fangs is called, please let me know. He's kinda hidden under the ramps between levels of the big aviary. 
This is what my pandemic has come to. Finding "Video For Cats To Watch - 8 Hour Bird Bonanza" on Youtube and watching my cat watch. 
Ain't no party like a flamingo party. 
If you go to the zoo, don't skip the baby babirusas (babirusi?). 
The keeper told us Parveesh is leaving the zoo by the end of February :( But he said that another rhino will be coming to take up residency the same day he leaves. 
My happy place. 
MFers killed my trees today. I've since learned the answer is yes. You can be YIMBY and also despise shitty, soulless developers.
