Far and Away

@Bimby2 thanks and the same for you

It would concern me too Hon. Cat was exactly the same before she stopped eating - no matter how much she ate she didn't put on weight and infact had lost weight @Sans911 My poor little sister's cat was similar but went downhill really quickly so the sooner you get your little Jasper to the vet the better.

Our beautiful fur babies certainly know when we aren't there and do miss us - so lovely for you to be able to come home to them. The only downside for me of the holidays is Toby gets used to being with me all the time and I do worry about leaving him when I go back to work so in the last couple of weeks I need to leave him alone more. Cat doesn't care - she still does her own thing but does get to be outside more ...and she loves that.

So I stayed up all night to watch sport ...not surprising I'm sure to many of you. Both my teams I stayed up to watch won - so a little happy flutterby this morning. I tried to sleep afterwards but lasted all of 20 minutes before I was up again. Toby stayed asleep and only (reluctantly) got up when I did.

I fed the fur babies and layed back down on the couch for take 2. Managed about 40 minutes ...when I woke it was 8:10 and I honestly thought it was 8:10 at night LOL. I jumped up thinking the babies had not been fed and the only thing that stopped me feeding them again was that breakfast tv was on. It took me a couple of minutes to orientate myself - which was a strange feeling.

So take 3 and another half an hour or so before there was a knock on the door - my delivery of things Mum had bought me had arrived. So now I have a shiny new pair of shoes and some pretty swish turquoise coloured pants for work.

I suspect there will be a take 4 at some stage today but for now there is tennis and cricket on to flick between and more washing to get dried. Too buggered to sort out the last of my clothes - so that can wait until later.

This little flutterby is going to hang up her wings for the day while the washing dries and make aquaintance with the couch again ...and a snuggly Toby 🦋👍😁🐶

@Zoe7 I hope you get some more sleep throuhout the day Zoe7. Was lovely talking with you last night. Love peaxx

On my last load of washing for today @Bunniekins - no more sleep this morning and now going to stay up and try for an early night. Will try to go through the rest of my clothes this afternoon so I can do a final wash tonight. Hope you got some sleep too little pea xxx

@Zoe7 Hang up those tired wings and snuggle into Toby and Cat, rest time. I have my baby sleeping soundly beside me.

I got my walk in this morning, thanks for the ( gentle ) nudge. 😁😁

I would call it a full on push rather than a gentle nudge @Maggie

Toby and Cat are laying on the floor waiting for their dinner. Cat has already started talking to me and once she starts that then Toby jumps off the couch as well. Half an hour for them to wait though.

Have managed to stay awake all day so am starting to really feel it now. Think it will be a super early night for me - going to have meds early to help that along also. Not too interested in the cricket tonight so won't be missing anything. The only downside will no doubt be the fur babies will get me up super early tomorrow morning.

Have finally finished all the washing but not enough hanging space for it all so won't have it all dried and put away until tomorrow. I have ironing to do also but absolutely no energy to do that tonight.

Give your baby a cuddle from me and ne for you too

An article was published today about my Mum and all her years of service in the same job - it was a fitting tribute to such a long career. It is funny because the person taking over her job started kindergarten the same year Mum started her job - the same year my sister started at the same kindergarten. Then the editor of the article was in my grade at school so many connections between us all.

I pulled myself off the couch this afternoon and kept sorting out my cupbards. I now have just one shelf to go but that will definitely have to wait until tomorrow ...absolutely exhausted now and off to bed very soon - just waitng for the last load of washing to finish for tonight.

Toby has already had his mad minute so he will quite happily follow me to bed and hopefully sleep until the morning. I will need to bring Cat in soon too but whilst it is still light and relatively warm she can stay out a bit longer.

@Faith-and-Hope Day 6 of 'it is January and F&H will be back soon' countdown ...this is me waiting....
