Power naps

Sunday 10th December 2023


I'm very glad I swam yesterday. Today was cool and rainy which is really what the thirsty earth needed. The rain was also conducive to having another day of snoozing through TV. The dogs and cats felt it too because we were all very mellow.



I watched a fascinating documentary on 'Electricity' which is more interesting than it sounds. It's a great history lesson too and told in a very easy way but I will probably have to rewatch it so I could explain it. It's almost 3 hours long and it took me 6 hours to watch it. I kept dozing off and missing bits but it was a perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon.



I had had grand notions of using my sister's gym and treadmill while watching the sunrise over the hills, but my time here had me staring at the toilet bowl and the backs of my eyelids. My body obviously needed a long recovery after a long flight/trip/summer/year and I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to catch my breath and rest. I move to my other local sister tomorrow so a different set of animals again.


I love being able to love other people's pets, even for a short time. It expands my heart and that's always a great thing.
