Howling at the Moon

Tonight is the full moon. Not that we'll see it. It's been overcast since Saturday with some incredibly torrential rains on Sunday. Since then the wind has been quite blowy and noisy. So noisy that it sounds like rain.

But it's not.

I don't know if it's the influence of the moon, the lack of sun, or just the need for a large cocktail, but my alter-ego Cranky Bitch (CB) has emerged and she's not happy. If she was, she wouldn't be called Cranky Bitch. She'd be all happy rainbows and butterflies that would make CB want to hurl.

I'm not really complaining about the weather. I've been loving it and the joy of sleeping comfortably at night. With the windows open. Anticipating the arrival of Autumn.

Do bats come out on the full moon?

Just wondering.

We kind of live in the woods. It would be more like woods with fewer neighbors, but this time of year we can barely see any of them. This is a good thing. Unfortunately we can hear them yelling at their kids and they're not shy about turning up their stereos for their outdoor enjoyment.

So much for peace. You can make a peace sign from a full moon. When it looks like a complete circle. But the full moon is not making any peace (or friends) in my house tonight.

A good howl might be just what I need. And scare the hell out of the neighbors while I'm at it. Maybe they'll think I'm a feral cat.

Do cats howl?
