Outdoors

I got practically no sleep Thursday night, so Friday I felt like a Zombie – operating on automatic. I did what needed to be done, went to work, came home, etc.

I had a better night last night, though, so I had a better day today as well. Fed the Mip Mips, played with them – all before eight, when I went to do the grocery shopping.

I let the Mip Mips play outside most of the day. I’ve already fed them twice today. They still don’t go very far from the stairs. Both mommies are watching them carefully – and they both go on high alert when they hear a crow.

I used the opportunity to do a bit of gardening – there are plenty of seeds again, cosmos and sweet peas. I’ve collected and distributed the Cosmos seeds, tomorrow I’ll collect the Sweet Pea seeds for sowing. I thought of doing the patch in front of the garage – but decided to rather attend to the flower beds instead.

I also did a load of laundry – and when I took it out found a lot of it still sopping wet. Sigh – I better clean the machine tomorrow.

The Mip Mips have had a very active day, as has Ziva – who is becoming increasingly affectionate! She wants a lot of attention, snuggles above the hip – no longer at my legs. Last night she snuggled up to me and all the Mip Mips came one after the other to nurse – and she stayed quite quietly purring and happy.

Last night the Mip Mips were active while I read for an hour, then settled down – until Ziva came up to snuggle. I’m hoping after the active day they will sleep through the night. It’s about time! I really need to catch up on my sleep – and start getting regular good night’s sleep again!
