Unpleasantly cold, so I only got out of bed just before seven. Funny dream I had just before I got up: for some reason I had to work in some guesthouse and I had Mini by my side, helping me catch all the bugs in the beds! Weird, eh? Could be because all mippies were active around, on and over me as I was dozing.
Bedding and towels are now on the line, as I was hanging them up, my landlord's dog kept barking - and nobody called her to quiet down; which leads me to believe they are both out. Also, it's been unusually quiet this morning. So: last load into the machine as well! Getting ALL my laundry done today? Bargain!
Then, as I went outside to check on the drying stand, Ziva got under my feet, I stumbled and sprained my big toe - painful! Poor Ziva ran off, then came running to say she's sorry! Really! Shame, she meant no harm so I gave her a few pats to reassure her.
They've also brought in a mouse ... again! Early this morning. Very busy here - I've just picked up all the cadavers - 2 pigeons and half the mouse. While I was busy with that, I also washed off a lot of puddles and spray streams against the walls ... sigh. I've also cleaned up the blood smears on the floors ... mippies are keeping me busy. At the same time, they want me to play with them! All of them! Sigh ...
Just when I began to hope that maybe - just maybe - my landlord has gone away for the weekend ... a car drove up! They're back! So much for my hope of a bath! Ah well, I still got all my laundry done in one day, so I have my drying stand available for tobacco leaves tomorrow and Monday! Still a bargain!
I've got margarine warming up for 2 batches of cookies, bread dough in the machine getting all doughy, re-activated my charcoal filters (just a matter of boiling them for 10 minutes) and washed the few dishes from this morning.
Two batches of cookie dough in the fridge, all the washing off the line and back inside - just still need to fold and pack away the last few items.
And then I was really tired, so I treated myself to an afternoon nap!
Since the cookies have to be fully cooled down, before I can pack them away, I decided to bake at least one batch today. Done. I'll bake more tomorrow.
I was wondering about Mini, as I hadn't seen her all day long - I stood outside, asked my mippies about her, went back inside and Mini came running to me! Aren't they just too darling?
Which has me wondering about where to look for a place for us to stay? I'm mostly thinking about my mippies. Truth be told, I wish they wouldn't go walk about at all! I would prefer they stayed close to home ... like they did in PE. I always knew where they were, and they never went far - except for Ziva, of course. Here, they go far, far away ... and I'm not really sure, why ...
Mippies came home and inside without any effort whatsoever! Too lovely for words! We spent some time over their treats and then most of them curled up on the bed ... I sat down with them and brushed them! They all love that! Especially Mini, who recently discovered the pleasure of brushies! I brushed them all for quite a while, and they're still all curled up together right where I left them.
After brushing, I made a bunch of tubes - just the tubes, no filters. Filled 5 boxes so far. That's enough for today ... now I'm ready to join mippies again!
