I saw myself forced to make another pot of coffee because I started to yawn and it is barely the beginning of the afternoon. I don't think I'm supposed to be getting sleepy yet. It would be great to go lie down in my bed and take a nap, but it was not part of the plan for today. I do want to stay up and spend the afternoon in a more upright position.
I think the caffeine will straighten me out and help me carry out my plan and hopefully I will be wide awake again soon. I do rely on coffee to help me through the rough spots. I've made it a little stronger so it will carry a bit of a punch. I do want it to zap me back into consciousness. The side effect will be that it will put me in a good mood.
I can certainly stand one of those, although I'm not grumpy or anything. I just like the temporary high that caffeine gives me. I woke up in a perfectly good mood this morning and it didn't take much coffee to get me started. My thoughts weren't too confused and I wasn't overwhelmed by too much input right from the beginning. I eased gently into the day.
It's a bit cold in the apartment, but I do have the windows open and the sun is not shining. It rained all night and sometimes it came down in buckets. It was a regular deluge. I thought I would have to start building the ark and start putting the animals in it.
For about a week now I suspected there was a mouse in the kitchen closet. The cat and the dog showed much interest in it, but I never could catch a glimpse of it. Last night, when it was very quiet, I heard something move around in there, so I opened the door and let he cat in. Some time later she came out with a dead mouse which I disposed of before the dog could get it.
The cat had probably brought the mouse into the apartment herself and it had escaped from her. I'm glad she was able to finish the job. It had probably been living on dog food and getting to the water bowl through the crack underneath the door. I hope it had a happy last week in the closet.
I'm fully caffeinated now and I can sit up straight and function normally. I think I'm good for the rest of the afternoon. I think I can even walk the dog again which is something he will welcome very much. He's found a very good Dunlop tennis ball on one of our walks and it has become his favorite. I'm sure he's hoping to find another one.
Ciao,
Irene

It is very cold, wet & stormy here today.
A dead mouse is one thing but a live mouse brought in by the cat is an entirely different story.
Hope we get a drier Sunday tomorrow.

I am sure the cat was very proud of her catch. Happy to read that you are doing better and if it means more coffee each day, then so be it. We are enjoying a warm summer day here in Southern USA and it is time for me to get more coffee and head to the garden.
Take care!
Irene, you could be a walking commercial for some coffee company. It seems like every time you turn around, you're having another cup of coffee. Well, at least every blog post you write, you're having coffee.
Well done, Gandhi, on the mouse. Well done, Tyke, on the ball. Well due, Irene, on the coffee. Everyone at your place wins this morning!
Ok, here's a challenge for you. Do at least 2 posts in a row that do not mention coffee! Hope your week goes well
Sounds like things are good.
