So this is what happens when I try to go to bed early like a normal person.
10:30 Lights out, phone off.
10:40 Maggie leaves room obnoxiously loud.
10:45 Maggie continues to be loud in the hallway so I get up to check on her in case she’s stuck in her sweater. Can’t see her.
10:50 Back in bed, I notice Tom’s CPAP is making horrible sounds and debate waking him up.
10:55 Maggie is scratching obnoxiously somewhere and…banging against a door?! I get up and find her and take her sweater off just in case.
11:00 Back in bed once again, I hear strange thumps downstairs.
11:05 I hear more strange noises. I try to ignore them.
11:10 I hear more strange noises so get up. Maggie wants to go outside.
11:15 Bella starts meowing for food because I’m standing in the kitchen.
11:20 I feed Bella and Maggie.
11:25 I finally get back into bed
11:30 I’m wide awake but tired because I took melatonin an hour ago…
Shreepy Maggie cuddles
SURPRISE! It’s still a mess.
It’s been somewhat clean a half day here or there but overall this is what it looks like all the time. But look who sleeps in there? Can you even see her?
Give a cat a bed in a box…
Well this is new.
I’ve been working from bed this morning and I have company.
Lunchtime dog walker
Katie has started taking Maggie out for quick walks during her lunchtime. She even has to pick up poop!
This completely sums up how my cats feel about each other.
Maggie and her girl.
Love this sweet old face.
We have a ton of pet beds but okay Bella.
(The stool is upside down until we fix the foot.)
She’s still a sun dog!
When Maggie wants to sit, you sit.
Gahhhhhhhh! I wanted to get some work done in the office but when old lady Maggie wants to sit on your lap, you let her.
Waiting for us in bed.
This is new.
Maggie has been in the kids’ room more and more and at weird times of the day. I like it but it also worries me because she’s never done this.
New house, same sun dog.
Really, Maggie?!
Carrying a cat in a box.
Because why not?
Give a cat a phone…
Actually it’s give a kid a phone and a cat…
Life fatigue struck today.
Friends, do you ever have one of those days where you just. can’t. get. moving?! Or don’t want to? I’m feeling very overwhelmed today…. House, business, kids, animals, finances, Covid, eLearning…in short—life. Nothing specific or worrisome is going on…just…overall blurgh. I’m sure this is a thing, right? Life fatigue?
I posted on Facebook and pretty much everyone was like YEP UH HUH SAME. So at least it’s not just me.
So eventually I did what I tell others to do…and did a little self care.
Then got some kitty cuddles.
Took a long hot shower and washed my hair.
Caught up on a few episodes of a favorite show.
Got surprised with yummy treats from a friend.
And had a margarita.
No better time to clean the basement than during a tornado watch!
We knew storms were coming (I even moved patio furniture) but then we heard the sirens! Everyone down to the basement—cats and all! Owen actually did really well for being the one who gets super freaked out about storms. I worked on getting the pantry organized and opened a bag of M&Ms as a treat for everyone. Tom was working on the bathroom toilet as we learned it’s in need of fixing. It only lasted about an hour, nothing bad happened, and then it was back to normal!
Indecision.
If I close the door, she paws to get in and/or paws to get out. If I leave the door open she just stands here.
She loves to watch the world go by.
Katie and Charlie
Can you see all three through the clutter?
To Bella it’s like we never even moved.
A breakfast note for Maggie.
And so our last moving adventure begins.
Also? Just 12 minutes in my mask and I’m past being done. No way kids are going to last all day in school.
This dog.
