CAPTAIN’S LOG: DAY 22.
CRITICAL UPDATE: The Sunbeam has escaped vertically.
It has abandoned the floor portal and moved up the side of Mount Armchair toward the Great Window.
Ascent Attempt #1: Claws slipped on the green cliffside. Gravity continues to be a nuisance.
Tactical Reassessment: Stood on hind legs to track the warm target.
Ascent Attempt #2: Scaled the summit! Elevated warmth secured.
Conclusion: The Sunbeam cannot escape me, no matter how high it climbs. To celebrate this victory, I am now neutralizing the patterned pillow. ☀️🐾

Where have you been for the last five nights?!” 🧐
Finally back home and officially back on duty as a full-time kitten pillow. Safe to say someone missed his lap time. #DmacDcatAndDJ

CAPTAIN’S LOG: DAY 21.
I have discovered a warm, glowing portal on the living room carpet.
Attempts to pounce on it: 5
Attempts to bite it: 3
Attempts to stand on two legs and demand answers from the heavens: 1
Conclusion: The Floor Beam cannot be defeated, but it is warm. I now worship it. ☀️🐾

It is hard to believe that just one month from today will be the season opening game for the Carterville Lions when they head to Marion to take on the wildcats. I hope you are as excited for Carterville football as I am. Once again, we’ll have all the games on NewsRadio WJPF.

Consider this your official reminder to close the laptop, stop what you’re doing, and go get a scoop. 🍨 It’s literally a national holiday, okay? What flavor are we ordering today? 👇
