Meh!

I struggled to go to sleep, so around eleven I picked up my sleeping kitties for cuddles. Lady Jane enjoyed it the most, Mewthos liked it, too, but Ziva struggled free after a short time. I placed them all on right next to each other – Mewthos started cleaning Ziva, Lady Jane started cleaning Mewthos and a whole lick-fest ensued! The only time Ziva growled at Mewthos, as far as I could see (in the dark and without my glasses) was when Mewthos tried to nurse!

I seem to have had a bad night, nonetheless, since I only woke up around nine! I opened the door so my cats could go out – but they are sticking around me, like Velcro. Romeo also came for his breakfast – but then he made a swipe at Mewthos and had to leave. Since going back to bed seems out of the question, I got dressed. Sigh. Now I’m having breakfast.

I’m feeling just ‘meh’ today. No energy, no interest – I just want to sleep. I tried napping, but I can’t sleep either. I’ve tried Orange juice, fruit salad, coffee (of course!) but I just have no energy. It’s not heat, this time, though – it’s only 25°C today. Although it was quite hot in the sun this morning, it’s rather cool this afternoon.

I tried some gardening. I worked on the rockery, near the cactus. It’s completely covered with Tecoma seeking sunlight and air, those horrible thorns and grass! The grass hasn’t been cut in a long, long time – I had to trim it with pruning clippers! Mewthos watched my every move and inspected the pile of off-cuts grow. I found it rather frustrating to see how not one leaf of those branches had been touched by a weed eater, they are covering almost a foot of the lawn! Yet my flowers and plants get shredded if they put just one leaf outside the bed!

The dog from Rose’s neighbours got out today, Rose found her wandering in the street, so she brought her into her inner garden until her neighbour comes home to collect her. My Mips are not impressed! Ziva came to call me to show me this outrage – and she was even more outraged, when I went to pet the dog! I’m a sore disappointment to my Mips!

We all settled down for a while, and when the Mips all seemed asleep, I thought I could sneak down and chat with Rose. Sigh – silly of me! They followed me down and were disgusted to see that I was next door! Lady Jane settled herself on the table to supervise my visit, while Mewthos got up on his hind legs and stood like a Meerkat! The looks on their faces when the doggie rolled on her back so I could scratch her tummy – and did? Priceless! And then I had the audacity to reach out with my doggie rubbing hand to pet them? It was just too funny!

Since I was home all day, Ziva stayed nearby all day as well, and by six all three were napping indoors, so I closed the door. She did swipe and hiss at Lady Jane and Mewthos earlier, and now she’s sulking on my bed. Mewthos is napping on the chair next to me and Lady Jane on the other chair.
