Does my cyclone sleep alone and other bits

It’s another BOMB CYCLONE (this should always be ALL CAPS shouted) kind of a day. Thankfully, today we're sans the blizzard action. Still, I stepped onto the porch just now and was nearly blown to Kansas. HEY, was that Elvira Gulch riding past my window?

Looks like an indoor calisthenics/no errands kind of a day for yurs truly. The trick will be motivating myself up to exercise. It seems like such a good day for reading in my comfy chair with Coco on my lap.

I suspect our stray, semi-feral visitor cat, Umlaut’s hunkered down in whatever safe spot he calls home. If I knew where his crib was, I’d deliver his breakfast AND treats. I’m a full service cat doormat, don’cha know.

In adorable Coco news – she’s got a coupla new habits.

1. At some point, in the middle of the night,  every night, she smoothly scales my hip (I sleep on my side) and parks herself. I'll occasionally crest outta my dreamstate, take note of her presence and fall back into the land of Nod. She’s in place there for most of the night. Dunno what she’s doing up there. Guarding and protecting?  Is she Zenning out with the cat/cow/meatloaf pose?
2. Princess often joins me while I read in bed. She’ll sit on my lap for a mo before trundling over to The Amazing Bob’s side of the bed. Our girl curls up there, just below his pillow and that’s that. Is she holding TAB’s spot for him – making sure it’s there for him when he comes back? Has she become one of those professional line sitters? Or, is she aware that our man's really gone, baby, gone and claimed his side as her own?

Our neighbor’s well cared for old kitten, Blossom, often shows up on the porch after I put out Umlaut’s meal. She sits there scanning the area carefully before she digs into his grub. I’d chase her off but, well, she’s a cat – I can’t do that! Also, I can always put out more for our Dark Rider.

And here are some words prickling my bean this morning.
Swan (verb form)
to move about or go somewhere in a casual, relaxed way, typically perceived as irresponsible or ostentatious by others. 
Just FYI, swanning around in a $2,000 sharkskin suit doesn't turn you into an irresistibly sexy Fashion God.

Phub (verb)
to ignore (a person or one's surroundings) when in a social situation by busying oneself with a phone or other mobile device.
Hey asshole, I’m sitting RIGHT here. Stop phubbing me!

Enormity (noun – NOT tto be confused with enormous)
1. outrageous or heinous character; atrociousness:
The enormity of the Trump Crime Family corruption is mindblowing.
2. something outrageous or heinous, as an offense:
Loesch’s fairy tales are an enormity beyond belief.
3. greatness of size, scope, extent, or influence; immensity:
