sixty-three weeks


*sighs*


Peepers...


*sighs*


... I'm bored.


*SIGHS*


HEY PEEPERS!  I SAID, I'M BORED!


"Well why don't you go outside and play?"


There's nothin' to do out there, Peepers.  THERE'S NOTHIN' TO DO!  Like I told you, I'm bored.


*sighs*


"Why don't you see if Saffron is out and about?  Maybe you could do something with her?"


She's not there, Peepers.  I checked.  After eatin' brekkies, she went off on her own.  I don't know where.  She's kinda secretive 'bout where she spends her time, you see.  So...


SO I'M BORED!


*SIGHS*


Too bored to even say MOUSES!


MOUSES!


Maybe not.


*sighs*


Peepers, you wanna do somethin' fun?  You wanna play a game or somethin' with me?


"Seville, these past few weeks, you've done nothing but complain about how horrible it is to have me on your paws every day, all day long, due to the pandemic.  And NOW you want me to play with you?"


Did you say a few weeks, Peepers?  Did you say FEW?  'Cause I'll let you know, it's been sixty-three weeks that I've been stuck home here with you on my paws, every day, all day long.  SIXTY-THREE WEEKS!  And sixty-three is not a few.


MOUSES!


Don't you go all Spock on me and raise that eyebrow of yours, Peepers.


Besides, you're doin' it all wrong.  Don't think your eye is supposed to twitch and look all weird like that, you see.


But as I was sayin'...


As I was sayin', sixty-three weeks is a super long time.  Why, it's...


Umm...


Carry the nine.


IT'S THREE HUNDRED AND FORTY-TWO MILLION, NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-ONE THOUSAND, SIX HUNDRED CAT SECONDS, YOU KNOW.


And did you hear the part 'bout the MILLIONS?


MOUSES!


But all that aside...


I'M STILL BORED!


*sighs*


Hey Peepers, I KNOW!  I know a game you'd be great at.  We can play What's That Smell?  Have you heard of it before?  You probably have.  I mean, with that ol' schnoz of yours, I bet you'll be a natural, for sure.  It's super easy to play.  We look for somethin' outside in the dirt.  You know, somethin' buried in the ground or the compost pile or maybe even in the garbage.  You know, wherever.  We both sniff it, and the winner is the one who figures out what it is, first.  Let's head outside now, and...


HEY PEEPERS, WHERE ARE YOU GOIN'?  The door to outside is that way.  I want you to come outside with me to play!


*SIGHS*


I'M BORED!


***********************

And remember:

IF IN DOUBT,

DON'T. GO. OUT.

Continue to practice SOCIAL DISTANCIN' measures

AND KEEP WASHIN' YOUR PAWS.

MOUSES!

Remember to mask up, too.
