Guess you had to be there...

Oh how lovely. I closed my eyes. The voices on the television gently melted together as my eyes gently  openned then closed then opened and finally fluttered into sleep. It was if I were 10 years old again at my grandparents house.  The adults sitting outside and talking. The kids lulled into sleep by the "music" of grown ups talking.   Safe .

Alas that also meant that I missed the other guest on the LLS and  the musical guest and the What did we learn last night.

What did  I learn?   That lovely surender to sleep. That when you are as tired as I was every thing sounds silly. That other than not having someone's lap to lay my head on it was bliss.

Now I'm going to feel that of the other "lovely things in this world". I'm going to go take a bath and then settle into the middle of clean sheets.  Get some sleep.

Hugs and good night,

And then?

I woke up.

Put on my fluffy house coat and "did my dailies"

Actually I was sitting there. Looking in the mirror. Half a sleep. When the thought occured, "I really should brush my hair next. Looking like Thing, with all this hair in my face it really isn't a good look." Then I had a next thought, "Mouth tastes funny. Oh and yay my tongues not numb. Better brush. Where the heck did the toothbrushes go? They were right there on the edge of the sink. Hmm" So I finished my uhmmm "thoughts"  and brushed my hair and teeth. Then I put out and fed the inside dogs, fed the birds, finches and mixed breed terriers, in case you wondered,  took care of life  here in general and then thought-

"You know self you are tired." (note. I meant that in the sleep deprived way not slang)

So I took a nap.

I know Saenz--

Decadent. Right there in the middle of the morning.

But it was lovely.

And I slept, but not before I let the inside dogs back inside.

Then?

I woke up.

This time I felt a bit better. Dressed. Fixed and ate something resembling lunch.

Got things sorted and fired up the computer. Wrote. Got stuff settled here on the otherside of the computer screen  and now I'm a fixin to  do the daily mucking out of the pens.

Yesterday I read to the pups a chapter of Alice in Wonderland when I was finished. I'm reading it now for a writing something so I thought I'd practice reading out loud.  Believe it or not they all settled down and listened. Honest. One or two fell asleep. Also honest. I did it because I couldn't give them individual time yesterday. We call that "lap time" no Gentle Reader, not lap dance time, lap time. Individual time with treats. Oh no, NOT TREATS, dog biscuits. Sheesh.  I'm trying to read to them to see if I can do it on days when I don't have as much time for individual attention.

After mucking out the pens?

Well I'll read the next chapter of Alice and give out the doggie treats.

Then?

Well for sure I'm going to take a shower. Get pretty grubby when I muck the pens.

Afterwards I'm not sure.

I need to sort clothes.

Do the house and family things.

Make supper.

Then watch the news and the LLS and go to sleep.

As someone said. Gently.

Happy Day and Happy Reading.

Oh  and Moma Mia ! 12 dogs goes to the movies. A review.
