Tuesday

I had a good night and woke up on time. Mippies are still fascinated with the vibrating phone, one of them sat on the night stand watching it! I cleaned their litter box, had my coffee, got dressed and went to work.

At work I’m a little stumped at the moment – I’m trying to design a simple, yet accurate means of keeping track of inventory. Bits of the puzzle are buzzing around in my head, but they are not quite falling into place, yet. We took housekeeping a step further today, and more machines got washed – well, we have no production orders. Evidently everyone is keen on training, though!

I also came across an article which suggested that if you work a 50-hour week, you should maybe not have pets – sadly, there’s truth in that. My mippies do need my attention when I’m home those two hours in the evening. Two and a half hours, when all goes well.

I ordered cat food online today, it should arrive by Friday. If not, that’s also fine, since I haven’t exactly run out, yet. I also ordered some more Royal Canin Sachets, they may be more expensive than Whiskas, but my mippies clean the bowl – whereas with Whiskas, they leave the ‘meat’.

Sigh, this isn’t exactly the life I had envisioned – I’m spending so much time away from home, away from my darling mippies. They’ve been so good about this whole separation, and not really given me any trouble. This morning I watched Ziva chase one of those glitter balls all over the bedroom! She also still burrows under the duvet when she wants attention. Rather than running around or trying to get out, she just wants more attention from me. I do pick them up, scratch their ears, and cuddle them as much as possible in the evenings.

It hasn’t rained today, and I’m so tempted to let them out – and hope they come when I call for munchies. But maybe I had better give it another weekend before I try that. I’m just remembering how naughty they got in PE, when I had to walk up and down the garden path and they still wouldn’t come inside! I can’t have that happening now …

When I got home I found a long-sleeve top of mine on the bed twirled into a knot! I guess Mewly didn’t manage to pull his favourite twirly out from under my pants, so he used the one he could get.

I spent the entire evening with my mippies, cleaning their litter box, giving them a treat, talking to them while I made my lunch and then cooked and ate my dinner – I made myself a steak with a mushroom sauce! Ziva insisted on her share of the steak and wouldn’t even let Lady Jane get a piece! I picked up Mewthos every few minutes, scratched Ziva’s ears every time I walked past – Lady Jane did not want to be picked up, though.

After dinner, I made myself an ice cream again – not so much for myself, but simply for the ritual sharing with my mippies! Even Ziva came and sat on the arm of the armchair and shared, rather than waiting until I finished!

In only switched the PC on just before I went to bed, at twenty to eight! I had an extensive cuddle session with Ziva, I patiently scratched her ears and head until she decided she’s had enough and then I went to bed.

I had left my blog-stick at work, so I couldn’t write nor post – I’m thinking, from now on, at work, I can write online and save the draft, so I can continue at home and post it there. I just need my password …
