That kind of good luck never lasts. Last night the cat decided that he needed to sleep next to me on the bed. Ok, I can deal with him taking his ½ on the outside edge. What was less than thrilling is him checking on me at about 0315. No cat, it is dark, it is not breakfast time, I am going back to sleep.
(Queue about an hour or so of quiet)
Right around 0500 the “pats” on my shoulder started. Solution? Open a window – that managed to keep him occupied sniffing, commenting, and watching for interesting things in the trees behind the house. At least I was spared the excitement of deer walking along the trail next to the house.
I gave up at 0545 and crawled out of bed but refused to feed him before 0600. I headed up to my craft room to quietly stitch. Obviously it is too early in the morning to do any cleaning (reasonable excuse, right?) and sitting quietly and listening to an audio book doesn’t make a lot of noise. But then there were errands (car, other people’s medical appointments etc) before finally getting back home.
I am making steady progress on my current batch of projects. 
Part 2/3 of Portuguese Dreams (Barbara Ana) is now complete. And since there are all those cats on her hat…
had such a hard day pestering me that taking a nap on project bags just seemed to be the perfect thing to do….
The cat looks comfortable enough – less certain about you during the night. (I have been there done that for our last cat. There has been no cat since then. There will be no cat much as I love cats.) How much longer will you have this four footed fiend ruling your life? (No, don’t bother to answer that.)
Your other social life sounds dire…I detest noisy venues!
Not sure how much longer the cat will be here. I suspect another 7-10 days. As far as crowded noisy venues – on a scale of 1-10 I like them about a MINUS 20….
