The stress of yesterday rebounded today.
I saw my counselling clients from mid morning and after taking the dogs to Sainsburys on the way home in order to buy them some mouth watering ham , we got home around 2pm
I fell asleep by quarter past ,
Sat on the bed with the twins
I’ve only just got up
It’s just after 6pm!!!
Ok it was a balls up, but my essay I now in. My revalidation done and the flower Show finished
I needed that sleep
Sometimes you just have to give in to what your body needs. I hope you woke refreshed. Those kitties remind me of my next door neighbour's 2 black kitties. Well, they're more teenagers now, but still kittenish. One is shy and wary, the other squeaky and forward. The squeaky one was asleep upstairs here for about 5 hours the other day. I'm sure they think this is their holiday home! xx
ReplyDeleteI’m glad you said squeak ! One of mine does too.i can’t work which one is which
DeleteYou needed that rest! And now some down time, or quietly watching films time.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't understand your computer issues yesterday--until you mentioned Portal[s]! An abomination, they never work. Poor you.
Yeap !!!!I’ve arranged for another IT lesson
DeleteA couple low tech hints for preventing issues is 1-photograpg the screen list w your phone's camera. And or email everything to your personal computer at home, as a linked doc, then paste entire text into an email to yourself, then save to your personal Cloud. It's important to email the pasted text to yourself at home in case the linked doc or Cloud won t open. [probably you now this, but just trying to help.]
DeleteYou were worn out! I hope you have a few quiet days coming up. And oh my gawd, those kittens are cute.
ReplyDeleteI hate kittens
DeleteThe kittens are adorable you rotter. I want them.😄 I watched mine play for hours. Yours are sisters and different in all ways, personality as well as appearance.. If you decide which is which and keep repeating the name when you stroke them they will soon learn. Very handy when you can't find one.
DeleteWhen I have an exhausting day, be it physical or mental, it wipes me out for a couple of days. It's an age thing John! Oh to be 30 again. Sigh.
Jean.
The kittens are so cute. Take care of yourself. More sleep is on the menu!
ReplyDeleteBun
You sound tired John
DeleteLee
Hi bun , I feels wrong calling someone bun lol
DeleteLee I feel terribly tired lee
DeleteI had a friend we all called Bun. His name was Bernard
DeleteDo you know , that I’ve never really taken to beans as a name for one kitten
DeleteBuns seems much better
Weaver and buns
I got the nickname from a neighbor's license plate when I was a kid, I thought it was funny. My sisters and husband call me Bun. I love Buns for one of the kittens.
DeleteBun and weaver it is
DeleteI need that some days and don't do 1/4 of the things you do.
ReplyDeleteIt does ad up.
I forget that ( he says)
DeleteNot surprising that you needed sleep, sleep, and more sleep after the upsets and frustrations of yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThe twins can be relied on for comic relief, can't they? What a tonic, and non-addictive!
Hugs!
I need some fun
DeleteThose girls are just the cutest little fur balls ever. It’s always good to relax after a stressful day. I spent the morning at the dentist’s, not my favourite place and have to go back Monday so I will be stressed all weekend.. guess I am lucky to have all but four of my own teeth at my age. Gigi
ReplyDeleteI need to sort out who is who
DeleteTwo little trouble makers? Surely not. They look so sweet and innocent:)
ReplyDeleteElves of the devil
DeleteGood to hear you got some needed sleep, and hope you'll be getting more tonight!
ReplyDeleteThe kittens are adorable! 😸🐈⬛🐈⬛
Sleep well and recharge your batteries.
I’m off to bed now
DeleteI have always found it more difficult to name girl cats, for some reason. Had a girl cat who we called Peggy ( I know don’t comment). After about a year she morphed into an Eric…and Eric she was. Perfect name for her.
ReplyDeleteBeans doesn’t really work for me either - but I haven’t met her.
I love to watch kittens...at someone else's house. Way too much energy with in MY four walls.
ReplyDeleteSome rest will make everything better. The kittens are adorable and very playful.
ReplyDeleteHmm, hope you aren't coming down with something? It's sort of that time of year? Not to put a curse on you or anything, just concerned.

There's nothing like a little 4 hour nap. Unless it disturbs your night sleep. (See Steve Reed's blog.)
ReplyDeleteCatalyst, I worried about that as well, sleeping too long too early. Didn't bother my night sleep at all. :)
DeleteJohn forgive me — I’m using your blog to message Rachel. I only comment as anon. Rachel — I am close to your age — these are the good times. No anxiety about climbing the corporate ladder or any ladder. I do have to say I’ve stayed I. Good shape because I continue to have animals to care for and the fifty pound feed sacks do t carry themselves. Life is good. Weaver gives us all hope as she carried on after the farmer left her. Rachel. I so enjoy your blog. You are an interesting writer and an eclectic artist. Namaste. Do not be defined by others. I’m remembering “the two fat ladies” cooking show. I bought their cookbooks. And John thanks for letting me respond here. Good luck on your essay..
ReplyDeleteI cut and pasted it to her comments , she deleted it
DeleteDon't knock your ability to sleep. One day you might end-up like me and find it almost impossible.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a much needed sleep! Glad I don't have to negotiate such technical difficulties and deadlines.
ReplyDeleteAfter your yesterday, you needed and deserved the rest...as kittens prolly danced upon your chest.
ReplyDeleteThat was your 'stress sleep', I hope you got a good nights sleep later on. Those kittens look cute, but remind me 'never again'. Grown up animals for me from now on.
ReplyDeleteMy bladder woke me up twice .
DeleteMy twins woke me up three times
Are you still sleeping?
ReplyDeleteIt’s broken
DeleteOh John such friends you have(furry etc.)you are surrounded by love!!!!
