Quarantine Journals - Day 3
So I am back in Canada but have to sustain self-quarantine in a hotel for 14 days. That being said, what a great day to start a daily journal. I signed up to Isolation Journals where everyday it sends out a journal prompt. I decided to give it a try and I am writing these not in any order that was sent to me but based on random.
Prompt: Write a scene from an imaginary biography of a pet. It can be yours or, like Virginia Woolf, a take on the secret life of someone else’s pet. Extra points for parody, or if it’s written from the pet’s perspective.
I don’t have any pets, but I will take on the role of Miso, who is one of my friend’s pet.
Ughh why are they still home?! It has been so many weeks since they left the house. My humans have been around for much too long. How I long for those days that they left for this “work” thing and I can be the king of the jungle! RAWR! Well maybe just this “apartment”. But it is my domain and all my subjects fear me. I am free to roam around this big sac in the corner, I think it’s filled with small pebbles but it is puuuurfect for me to lay on while soaking in the sun. Then I walk to my castle, which my humans set-up with my favourite toys inside. When I play with my toys, my humans go wild. They chant “Miso” like that I am the only thing that matters, which is precisely what I am - the only thing that matters in their lives. Sometimes they throw this little white thing on the ground and it is my excuse of causing havoc! I ran from the kitchen to the bedroom chasing that little white thing, and no matter where I go, my humans won’t stop me! HA!
Beyond just ruling my jungle as the ferocious cat that I am. I am also an instagram model. My human takes a picture of me wherever I am. Of course they would do that, because I am the most beautiful thing they have laid eyes on. I just have to look at them innocently and they would take hundreds of photos of me. One of my human showed me a picture of me that her friend drew, I thought it wasn’t too shabby - I mean it captured some of the essence of my beauty.
Sometimes my humans would invite other humans to come and just to keep my entertained. When I go near them, they go wild as well. They massage me and play with me, make sure I am at my most comfortable state. Only recently, I haven’t seen any new humans around, I wonder why?
Now back to today, why are they still home?! Do they have no where to go? Is leaving the house such a hassle. It’s not as if they are entertaining me all the time. Sometimes they sit across from each other for hours just to stare at their own computer screen. I think they call that “gaming”. Ugh, what pitiful activity. But honestly, it is cramping my style. I am so used to mind my own business during the day and have some quality alone time. Since they have been home since forever, they have started to really interfering my freedom. Their attention is also not on me all the time. I don’t know what this is, but I really hope this period ends soon. I need some alone time really soon.
