  1. 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

  2. You needed that rest! And now some down time, or quietly watching films time.
    I couldn't understand your computer issues yesterday--until you mentioned Portal[s]! An abomination, they never work. Poor you.

    2. A 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.]

    1. The 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.
      When 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.

    Not surprising that you needed sleep, sleep, and more sleep after the upsets and frustrations of yesterday.
    The twins can be relied on for comic relief, can't they? What a tonic, and non-addictive!

    Hugs!

    Those 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

    I 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.

    Beans doesn’t really work for me either - but I haven’t met her.

    Hmm, 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.

  14. There's nothing like a little 4 hour nap. Unless it disturbs your night sleep. (See Steve Reed's blog.)

    1. Catalyst, I worried about that as well, sleeping too long too early. Didn't bother my night sleep at all. :)

    John 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..

  16. Don't knock your ability to sleep. One day you might end-up like me and find it almost impossible.

  17. That must have been a much needed sleep! Glad I don't have to negotiate such technical difficulties and deadlines.

  18. After your yesterday, you needed and deserved the rest...as kittens prolly danced upon your chest.

  19. That 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.
