Tired

The worst  thing about finishing  night shifts is the switching  back to going to sleep at night again.  Mum feels like she has been on a 30 hour flight, and has bad jet lag and has not been very productive  today.  She got herself up and dressed and even got her jacket and bag on, but never made it outside.   Oh well, she can try again tomorrow.

Tired

So mum got a busy on -call night last night.  She worked 11.30pm - 3.30am and then got home for an hour before heading back in at 4.30am until just before 7am.  She then does get the day off work, and always thinks that she will get busy, but it only takes 5 minutes of sitting down to want to go and lie down.  So she got a good couple of hours napping before she got up to enjoy the sunshine for the afternoon.  Washing and dishes were done which was good and mum got to spend the afternoon sitting reading her book in the sun.  Our weather has been a bit odd at the moment.  Cloudy in the morning, clearing in the afternoon for a couple of hours and then cloudy and drizzly from about 6pm until the morning again.

Fingers crossed she can get some sleeps again tonight.  I am exhausted - I was busy waiting for mum to get home all night.  It is hard work being a good guard cat.

Tired

Mum finally got to bed earlyish last night, but it was hard to sleep as the weather was very windy and noisy outside.  Worse was some banging that sounded like a door blowing open and shut, so mum got her dressing gown and slippers on and went outside to check that the garden shed was closed.  It was, so she could not find a source of the noise and got to sleep finally an hour or so later.

When she got home from work this evening, she saw that the upstairs flat had a bedroom window open that was swinging open slamming against the house.  About 8pm she heard one of the upstairs flatmates moving about, so went up to knock on the door.  Mum asked politely if they could close the window.  The girl seemed surprised to hear that it was annoying.  Mum doesn't have anything to do with the people upstairs, they seem to come and go at different times and mum never runs into them.  They seldom use the back garden, so that is mostly our space.

Thank goodness the window is shut now, so hopefully us girls will finally get some sleep tonight.

Tired

There was the sounds of vomiting and other stuff this morning at 02 30am and it wasn't me.  Mums dinner that she was do proud of, was not so fond of her.  Luckily she got a bit of a warning and it only lasted an hour.  I guess all the leftovers are getting binned now.

We were both tired today and mum canceled her plans as she was not quite right.  The toast has stayed down and it will be back to normal by Tuesday. 

It was getting chilly this afternoon but I insisted on sitting on the barbecue table while mum fed the birdies again. 

Tired

Mum is feeling very tired tonight - she nodded off over dinner which made her think of her lovely nana, who used to do the same thing.  She has forgiven herself though as she worked until almost 11pm last night, and then had to come home and try and get herself to sleep, only to have to be up at 6am and off to work again today.  Luckily what she thought might be a horribly busy day ended up being pleasant with lovely company - she loves when that happens. 

She also works on Saturday and Sunday this weekend, with having to get up early to be at work for 7am on both days.  So tonight she has had her shower and will dry her hair that tomorrow she can have a quick shower and give herself a bit of a lie in.  So it is a Middle Aged Lady Movie Tonight - she is watching Churchill while eating some fresh raspberries and custard. 

Me - well I had my dinner and took myself off to bed early.  It is windy and wet outside tonight, and it turned dark quickly at 5.30pm.  With these long evenings I am tired too.  I know how you feel mum. 

Tired

Mum has spent around 24 hours at work in the past day or so and is ready to curl up on the bed with me.

Tired

Mum is tired today.  She managed to get four hours sleep last night and had an early start at work today.  She is on call tonight so she retreated to her bed when she got home - such a Nana.   I was happening an early feast and mum had leftovers from the other night.

We feel like we are moaning every day - please forgive us.

Tired

I was so tired when mum came in to talk to me, that I could not even get my eyes open!

Christmas card writing is exhausting

I have been busy helping my mum write christmas cards.


I am all tuckered out.

Thanks for helping our mate Moki. We will have them in the post to you soon.

Tired Tuesday

Please take the flashy box away, I is tired.
