Garfield

Last night we watched the new Garfield movie.  It’s on Netflix.  Both cats started out with an interest in the movie but once I paused the TV and announced it was time for treats that broke their interest.  It kept my interest.  The message I got from the movie was that family is important.  Watching it was kind of a blessing knowing that I have both of my cats.  It was also a curse knowing that I am alone. 

Yesterday for lunch I took a nap.  I had both cats join me and I was in heaven with my arms around each of them as they lay on apart of my chest all curled up in my arms.  I’m not much of a back sleeper but somehow when I have both of them I just melt and fade away.  Sadly I suffered from some sleep paralysis and had a nightmare that I was all alone.  Nothing like waking up from that, getting your bearings and realizing that yeah I am all alone.  Episodes like that were more common after my late spouse passed.  Sadly I get a refresher now and then that I could easily do without. 

We got washed out yesterday from all of the rain.  The rain was heavy in the morning.  Darkness fell on the area just after supper and then storms pushed in with more rain as well as lighting & thunder.  Woke both cats up from their naps.  I learned that the gutters are clogged again, not a huge surprise.  As Fall progresses they are going to get even more clogged. 

On the work front yesterday was some kind of day with it’s ups and downs.  I put my phone on do not disturb while I was napping at lunch, I mean I am entitled to take an hour break and after a couple interruptions as I just started to dose off I figured it was time to nip it. 

Today has started off quiet I don’t know if that is going to be the theme for the day.  If so I am all for it.  I’ve got plenty of meetings on my calendar today and would like to be able to relax for lunch. 

Ellen’s final special is on Netflix today and I look forward to watching that tonight.  It’s another overcast day here and rain is in the forecast.  Yuk a perfect day to just go back to bed but nevertheless I press on. 

Here’s hoping it’s a good day for all of us.  Take care and be well!
