A short time ago, I planned on skipping a day here to catch up on sleep. I didn’t do it, though, and continued to build on my fatigue.
This past weekend, however, my body rebelled and took over: I slept 11 hours Saturday afternoon and night! Sunday was pretty much the same thing, as was Monday.
Beyond doubt, I needed rest, my body determined it was a huge, huge amount, and I just went along. Instead of staying up, when I felt tired, I went to bed, day or night. What a novel approach to fatigue management! Ha!
I hope I’m caught up now.
You’re turning into a cat.
Thanks to their magical qualities….!
Your boys are handsome as ever!😻
Thanks! They do look pretty with their long and high maintenance hair!
Why of course – and it guarantees that they get you to brush them every day -(it’s the purrfect setup)! 😹
Just the same, I can’t wait till their next trip to the groomers!
Do they like the groomer?
The question is does the groomer like them! Yes, she does. They usually do dogs, and cats are accepted provisionally. If they misbehave (especially since the kitty boys have their claws and solid teeth…!) they could get banned. So far, they’ve received good marks for deportment. Whew!
Wow! What good kitties you have! I purrsonally only let the Can Opener groom me – (I was born a wild child)- she’s the only one I trust completely!
Anfdy and Dougy have been around lots of humans as kittens (women technicians at the animal clinic where they spent a big part of early kittenhood definitely found time to enjoy the kitties and interact with them), so are pretty acclimated to being held and petted.
Well, even though I was feral when the human adopted me, I knew I could trust her – because when I was tiny, she fed me and my 3 sisters and picked us up (when she could) and cuddled us
That is a wonderful way for feral kittens be tamed and live safe and comfortable lives!
It worked for me! Now I’m the Queen around here! 👑
LOL! Of course!
Mol! 😹 Happy 4th of July my furiend!
Likewise!
Thank you!
Take care of yourself! I’m glad you listened to your body instead of your “to do” list. The Can Opener is having to do that lately.
Feels good to let oneself rest, eh?!
Oh yes – we all need to give ourselves a break when we know we need it. Life can get too stressful and exhausting if all you do is run all day getting things done and always working without giving yourself dome time to rest and recharge!
Exacrtly!
Hope you and the boys are doing well today!💜
We are! Thanks!
Purrfect! Have a pawsome weekend!
You, too! Thanks!
Oh it will be a wonderful weekend! The human has 10 days off from watching the Creatures! I get her all to my adorable little self!😻
Sounds like a perfect weekend to me!
Me too!! 😺 I just have to get her to obey me when I say, “NO SHOPPING, NO GRAND CREATURES, NO HAIRCUTS, NO VISITORS, NO LAUNDRY, NO CLEANING!”
Just her, Fancy Feast and ME (and a brush, and some Redi Whip, and tuna, and treats,…
Whew! That’s quite a list. Hope it worked!
Oh – and about that list – I forgot to add
NO VISITORS, NO VACUUMING, AND MOST OF ALL –
NO BATHS!!🙀
LOL! I definitely agree with the last one. I’ve washed the kitty boys one time to often for my tastes – and theirs!
Same here – right when I think I’ve convinced her not to give me a bath anymore, she suddenly picks me up the minute I come inside and says, “Guess what love Bucket? You’re getting a nice, warm BATH today!” 😾
If she knew what I was thinking, she wouldn’t be calling me “love Bucket -” she’d be calling me DEADLY!
Ha! I have no doubt of that!
Neither does she!!!😹
And death claws to those who think they can intrude!
Mol!! 😹 Absolutely!
Your body knows what it needs. You are lucky that the boys let you sleep so long.
I think the reason they did was I slept during their usual nap time. They both were sleeping near or with me before it was all over. Kitty food time was coming up, you know! Ha!
I’m glad you got a good long rest, Doug. There is nothing like it! In summer I tend to be chronically sleep-deprived with all the work going on here, and that is not good. Please do follow your body’s prompts to rest!
I used to have problems sleeping while it was light, but that isn’t a problem any more. Dialysis is so exhausting even the sun can’t keep me up!
doodz…..dad kneadz ta take de add vize oh catz when it comez ta snoozin !! sleepz when ya want 🙂 ♥♥
Exactly! I don’t always do it, but I always feel better when I do.
Sleep is so important, always listen to your body. Well done Doug!
Keep it up now!! The boys need you healthy!
I need sleep too. Glad you got a good dose of it.
I was shocked, in a good way, to find how much sleep I could get if I followed my body’s prompts!
I feel like you… I need some sleep … urgently… but when…I planned to use the weekend, but I ended more tired than ever …
I’ve been meaning to get some sleep for weeks now. I’ve been getting along on three-four at night and occasional naps (two-three hours) some days. Apparently, it was inadequate. Of course, the kitty boys determine some of my sleep. The let me sleep during the day, of course, being crepuscular critters., but wake me up at 1-1:30 AM to feed them. I typically stay up onvce I’m up, so…!
