Thursday

Mum has been surprised  that I have not been too stressed  this week.  Yesterday  there were the painters  here, stripping  the paint off  our little  grey house.  Today the roofers were here and it looks like they got the old roof off and replaced in one day, although  the gutters will need to be done. 

I am pretty  keen to see mum when she gets home and ready for some sleep too as all those workmen have ruined my day sleeps. The workers  weren't  around  last weekend,  so hopefully  we can have a weekend  to ourselves.  We haven't  had anybody  here in the mornings  either so mum can sneak  around in her dressing gown without  giving  anyone a fright.

Thursday

There are some  last glances of summer flowers on mums walk home.  The nights are darker and cooler and the morning s too are losing their light. 

It is a bit busy at home.  The landlord has organized scaffolding,  builders, painters and roofers.   How stressful!!  Mum made sure that I can hide in our bedroom  but I am glad when mum gets home.  The painters  have been busy, the paint is just about all of the house  after one day.  So wish me luck for my days at home with all the noise, cos if I get too stressed mum says I have to go to the cat hotel.

Thursday

Today has been busy.  Mum was up at 5, at work by 7am, off to the hairdresser at 4pm and home at 7.30pm to deliver fancy feast.  Now mum is on call.  I'm exhausted just thinking about it all.  I'll be in position on the bed.

Thursday

I sent mum off to work with a big goodbye.  She always talks to me as she leaves and tells me about her day, and tells me to be a good girl and that she will be home soon.

As soon as she is back, she calls out hello and comes and talks to me about what happened on her day.  I tell her about sleeping, eating and sleeping.  Oh and can I have my feast now?

Thursday

Today was fine and mum enjoyed a sunny walk go work.  It was a bit of a long day but went fast as mum was busy.  Coming home the clouds were low and heavy looking, and luckily the rain only started as mum reached our door.

My day was busy.  There was snoozing and the odd bit of sniffing round and checking out introoder smells.  I really wanted mum to chat to me tonight, so we sat and she talked before she washed the dinner dishes.  Do you like to have a catch up with your person too?

Thursday

Mum caught me up at the window.  I was busy sniffing as the neighbours were cooking some nice smelling food for dinner.  By the time she grabbed the phone to take a photo I jumped down.

It has been a hard week - the news has been pretty relentless this week, so mum has trying to avoid watching the news too much.  Early night's have helped a bit too.  Tonight though mum is on call so maybe not too much sleep for mum tonight - we'll see what happens.

Thursday

We have had some sunny days but the temperatures still drop down at night, and lately I have been snuggling in the same spot on mum's bed.

Mum returned to work today.  Her back was pretty sore after a days work and she hopes to get some more sleep tonight.  4 hours seems to be the most she gets before her back pain wakes her up.  So some pain relief before bed should help.  Thanks for all of the well wishes for her.

Mum ran into a friend today, and mentioned that she had had a weird dream a couple of days ago where her friend, his ex wife was in the dream.  On her way home, she ran into both of them together.  She hadn't seen her friend in a couple of years, and it was nice to have a quick hug and a promise to catch up sometime soon.  Mum felt good to have seen her old friends.

We are looking forward to Friday and having the weekend off.  Yippee.

Thursday

Mum had a busy night last night.  She was on call and had 4 call ins to work with only a 1.5 hour sleep between jobs.  The good thing was that it meant that she had the day off work today.  She managed a couple of hours sleep.  She did some chores and played outside with me for a while too.

Then she went out for leaving drinks for one of her friends.  The sun was lively and warm and mum enjoyed the short walk to the pub.  Someone asked yesterday about the sunbeams at our place.  We get the afternoon sun in our room which is increasing every day as the winter moves along.

So we are off to bed now - mum has her fingers crossed that she can get go sleep tonight.

Thursday

Hello Thursday.   It has been a strange day for the mumster.   She was on call last night and went to work from 10pm until 1am.  She had to go back from 6am until 8am.  When she got home she tried to avoid lying down, but she finally succumbed for a couple of hours of snoozing.

She had thought tonight was her hair appointment, and when she rang to check they were kind and offered to squeeze mum in.  She was glad to be done early, but it was cold outside walking home - time to dig out the gloves.   So home now and the heaters are on warming us up.

Thursday

Thursday has rolled around again, and it is almost the weekend.  We will be a bit busy this weekend with work and family, so forgive the secretary if we don't get to post.  I'll be hiding under the deck probably.

Thursday

Mum has to go to work tonight, so doesn't have time to write much of a post. We hope you all have a good night, and I'll be up late waiting for her.

Fun Day Three - Thursday

Welome to Fun Day Three - Thursday. We had lots of washing to get on the line today, and the early morning was cloudy with a high chance of drizzle. Never mind, we still got a few loads out. As you can see, I assisted with the washing by drying some underwear with my body heat.

The afternoon turned hot and sunny, which has been rare lately, and after mum changed the bed linen on the spare bed I had a big long nap. I love fresh cotton linens in the summertime.

What did my mum do for fun? Well today was spend no money funday. So she has got on a facemask that she had already in the bathroom cabinet, and she is going to give her face a good scrub. Then she is going to put the Zumba on, and dance around the living room, and as it is warm the curtains are open and I am sure the neighbours will be laughing - what fun for them.

After that, she is going to have an earlish night, and start a new book!!

Every day this week, we are making a conscious choice to do something fun, that makes us happy. The weather has been grim, the news is always bad and we need to finds some things to make us smile. We hope you can join us!!
