Lovely Sunday

I had a very strange dream, in which Romeo somehow came here and asked to live with me!?! I do miss his daily visits.

Throughout the night, the full implications of the re-structuring at work also started sinking in - there is such a lot of pressure coming off my shoulders, most of the rocking chair activities are no longer my responsibility, and I can design and test new systems before implementation, not having to do so in a rush to gain some form of control over yet another section of the business in a race to take on all the load placed on my shoulders ... it's going to be a walk in the park by comparison!

I think this also gives some indication of the pressure I've been under, which really, really came to a head about three weeks ago, when these large production orders started coming in - before that, production could continue without too much supervision, giving me time to get ready; but suddenly I had to take on production supervision regardless of readiness.

Now, however, my life will be more along the lines I had envisioned before my arrival, with only one difference: I feared that I would have no real work, and be not much more than 'office decoration' so I expected that I would have plenty of time during office hours. I'm glad that won't be the case - there is nothing worse than having to 'kill time' at work.

But from now on, I will have SOME time at work. My workload will now be manageable. And I can start doing some of my own things during working hours, as well. He He, like collecting resources - in my game city - every three hours.

I decided to catch up on some of the sleep I lost this week and took another nap. Then I watered the garden before washing the dishes. Oh, hang on, I also baked a tray of muffins and ... with a heavy heart, opened my very last packet of cookies. Sigh. How will I survive?

Strangely enough, I'm still tired. Probably because I haven't done anything the whole weekend. Or maybe it's the stress relief sinking in.

The mippies seem to really like their Flower Fountain - I've had to re-fill it twice last week already, while the dispenser seems to be completely ignored now. I'm glad they are happy. Today, Mewthos has been such a love-bug, mewling for cuddles again and again and again. When I go outside, he comes running at top speed. When I go inside, he mewls for me to tell him where he can find me. And whenever Mewly gives me a break, Janey starts!

I decided to shower early and then - on a whim - started to chop off my hair. Can't call it cutting, since I couldn't find any decent scissors, so I used the kitchen scissors. I couldn't see properly what I was doing, either - but it's all short now and I'm happy about that. It's not even shoulder length now ... I guess I got carried away. I suppose it'll look like the hack-job it is, but I'll keep it tied up anyway, so who cares. It'll dry much quicker now, which was the whole point. Washing my hair had become such a mission lately, since I don't like using a hair dryer and it takes too long to dry - I end up putting a towel over my head when I go to bed, since I'm right by the open window.

Mippies are inside again - like they were earlier, when I was inside. For some reason, they don't like letting me out of their sight - at least not for long. So much for 'aloof and independent' cats, ha ha! Right now, Ziva has jumped into the shelf next to me, so I can scratch her ears. Janey is sleeping on the sleeper couch and Mewthos is sleeping on the mat between the two litter boxes.

I had better get to bed and start pulling mippies into the cuddle cave. Ziva loves it, Janey always comes to investigate and Mewthos just crawls under the duvet with me and plops down any ole how.
