No. They come with names. Spider plant aka chlorophytum comosum, for example. I don’t talk to them either.
Went out today. Took the Comcast modem, etc., to UPS to be returned. Christmas tree shop for things I didn’t know existed or that I needed when I found out. My fav kind of shopping. Lots of pain in spite of two ibuprofens, but had fun anyway. Muggy, muggy day, but today the a/c decided to work, unlike the first time I turned it on, so not icky in here. Very tired, very much missing Gertrude. Oh, well. Life goes on, right? She is not suffering, so that’s a good thing. I would not want her to be suffering. 
strangely peculiar 
It’s good to get out, isn’t it? But pets leave a gap in our lives when they go. I’m house-sitting for my daughter at the moment and her cat’s snoring away in the corner. Cuddles used to do that, I’d almost forgotten.
