out of sorts

it's one of THOSE days

i didn't sleep at all thursday
worried again about our sheep and goat

while last night i did sleep
i woke up a bit out of sorts

it's seeming to affect everything a bit
the woodstove doesn't want to burn right
the cats are fighting
the roosters are crowing for bernie
oye


now also bernie informs me
that his safety glasses for work broke
so he's got one very bad pair of glasses to wear for work and for everything else
his new glasses should be here monday
then we are getting more back up pairs

now.......... to let you in on a window here on what i am watching right now

thaddeaus and fawn

the trimmings from my felted boot experiments have become coveted cat toys

they even STOLE one that i was using as a coaster!

i found a bit of red felt trimming and gave it to fawn
thaddeaus IMMEDIATELY grabbed it and ran over to stuff it in his food bowl

bernie asked why.....

i said well...........................

the boy's food is the most important thing in his little (not so furry) life.......
so he is putting anything important in there

my hand knit socks
the felted toys
my bra ( heaven help us all.......)
cellophane
styrofoam pellets ( he loves the crunchy noise)
doll heads
bows from christmas presents
knitting needles
hand spun skeins of yarn

the boy is nothing if not eclectic

we have to hide anything that he's decided is 'food bowl' worthy
or
it will emerge covered with cat spit and kibble
cat kibble smells aweful and is a bit greasy

just so you know........

right now the boy is on the ceiling.............
trying to find something ELSE to get into trouble with

apparently he's gotten over his near death encounter with the bookcases.........

and now wants to again turn his mother gray overnight......


vi
no wonder i'm out of sorts
