I've managed to take two naps today. One after another. The only thing I did in between was check my emails and then I decided that I really wanted to lie down on the sofa some more, next to Jesker, and so I did and promptly fell asleep again, which I think is the best thing to do on a Sunday. Intermittently, I heard all the church bells ring all day long, calling people in for mass. I hope a lot of people showed up, because the bells sounded joyfully and people should really heed them and go light a candle at least.
Toby slept on top of me, which was fine until he started to massage me with his paws and his nails extended. It was only a little painful, but hard to ignore and it was not on an especially meaty spot of my body. It was right on the side of my ribs and I tried to prevent him from doing it by moving my arm there, but he just moved his area of operation over a few inches until he was done and laid down like a teapot without a handle.
Jesker checked on me every once in a while, I felt his cold nose, and then laid down again and yawned and went back to sleep. We did this for several hours until we were all done sleeping and had to eat something to restore our energy and then go for a walk. The rain has stopped completely and the sun is shining and it feels a little bit like summer, but not completely, because of all the clouds in the sky and the temperature is only up to 20 degrees. I think this is pleasant, but then I'm odd and don't like the sun beaming down on me relentlessly.
I have started to take my nighttime medicines at 6 pm, which means I get the benefits of it much earlier and I become quite mellow early in the evening. It's a pleasant feeling and all I have to do before I go to bed is take my sleeping pill. I get so mellow, that I'm afraid that I'll forget to take out the trash, so I have to make extra effort to not forget it when I'm done writing this. I have to go around and find all the debris in the apartment and fill the bag so as to not waste any space in it.
I have no idea what's on TV tonight and haven't bothered to look in the TV guide, It means tracking down my reading glasses and I'm always to lazy to do that and turn the TV on and hope to be pleasantly surprised by an English thriller. Sometimes there's a German one on and they are okay too, anything is better than a Dutch one, I just don't like them. I am not enamored with them.Give me an Inspector Morse any day. Or a Lewis.
Well, that's really all I had to report now, Just a quick post in between, I'm going to make myself an omelet, after I take out the trash! And walk Jesker one more time.
Ciao...

sounds like a lovely restful day.
Enjoy your omelette and see you tomorrow.
I'm jealous of your napping today. On Sundays I struggle to stay awake all day although I'd love a nap because if I give in I will not be able to sleep at night and work will be torture Monday morning. So maybe you can put my name on one of those naps.
Sounds like a pleasant restful afternoon.
Hope you had a lovely omelette. They are quite yummy!
have a good, peaceful night's sleep! X
I had a dress up day, Irene, but a few times felt like a nap but couldn't as I was invited to a midday dinner followed by an afternoon kitchen party and then on to visit more friends, busy busy.
My body is exhausted and it's only 6.45pm

what a gentle day! we have had a mostly restful day here too thanks to squirrel feeling ill and not emerging from bed. but strange how the house became quiet!
Sounds like a lovely day.
Give me a Morse any time. Or one of the old Poirots (the ones with David Suchet). Love them.
Hope you didn't forget to take out the trash.
Oh I had to laugh at Toby; my Dakotah has always given me massages, but since I have been sick and coughing a lot, she now curls up on my chest and massages my neck! She is careful to keep the nails retracted, but it is so funny to see her "nursing" my throat back to health... at least that's what it looks like.
