Friday
Dear Elsie
Today was a rest day for me. I have only been half way down the stairs and have done no walking. It was a good day for a rest day because 100% chance of rain was forecast and indeed it came.
Raiku had the right idea…
I really do need to keep him awake during the day so he sleeps at night. He has been out for large chunks of the night. When he comes back in, there is a thud as he comes through the window, followed by an incessant meow, meow, meow… I’m here, I’m here, I’m here. He then jumps on the bed and if I’m awake, he will headbutt me. He usually will spend a few minutes kneading the duvet, purring loudly, before hopping off the bed to go have a bite to eat. It’s not uncommon for him to then head on out into the night for another hour or two before repeating the same procedure. This is why he needs to stay awake during the day, so he sleeps at night and if common sense prevails, I will close the window so he can’t go out at night. When I do that though, he will piteously plead to be let out at all hours. If I am sleep deprived, it is because of Raiku. Right now, he is in his bed on my desk and is struggling to keep his eyes open.
But the work week has ended and there is no reason to do too much this weekend. I may do some on Sunday afternoon just to get ahead of the Monday rush. Time to lay down my tools and rest. Tomorrow, we hike.
2 John 1:5
And now I ask you, dear lady— not as though I were writing you a new commandment, but the one we have had from the beginning— that we love one another.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
