I'm having a quiet and peacful time despite the fact that I'm not in bed sleeping and having tranquil dreams. Instead, I'm sitting here with a glass of ice cold milk and a cigarette, in my warm bathrobe, enjoying the wee hours of the night. It will be time to go to bed shortly because I'm starting to yawn, but I will try to write a sensible post before I go.
I didn't change the sheets on the bed like I had planned to tonight lacking the energy to do it and promising myself that I would do it first thing in the morning. The plan is to get up early enough to do it and to not stay in bed until noon after which I would get side tracked by other things. I do want to have the dirty sheets in the washing machine at a decent time and feel like I'm seizing the day.
Sunday is not a day to be wasted on frivolous activities. It may be a day of rest, but I try to fill it with useful things to keep me busy and out of trouble. I admit, there isn't a heck of a lot of trouble for a middle aged woman to get into on a Sunday in a town in the Netherlands, but I always pretend there could be to give my life that dangerous edge. I do have an extensive fantasy life.
The cat and the dog chased a mouse around the apartment for two days and nights and finally this evening the cat got a hold of it. That hold didn't last long and the mouse escaped in the living room where the dog grabbed it. That soon was the end of its little life. It gave one final squeek and then it was over. The dog carried it around with him for a while until he finally dropped it and I could dispose of it. It was a field mouse that the cat had brought in from outside. No wildlife is safe around here. The cat has turned out to be quite a hunter.
That was the excitement for the evening and now at least that mouse is not hiding under my bed anymore. I did have some trouble sleeping one night with the animals trying to get to it. Only when they gave up on it could I go to sleep knowing that the mouse was behind the headboard. I'm getting used to a lot.
I've got to go to sleep now. I must get a certain amount of sleep if I want to get up early in the morning and get the show on the road on time.
Sleep tight and have a good weekend.
Ciao,
Nora

Enjoy the peacefulness my friend, one thing we can count on is change. I can't imagine being able to sleep with a field mouse under my bed, so glad the animals caught it and put it out of its misery. (Can you tell I am a city girl..lol
Big hugs....:-)
Poor mouse..... I did feel sorry for it, but it was despatched quickly after a lot of torment. Thats animals for you. The nastier side of cats.... and dogs (it seems.)
It is very sunny, tranquil and not too cold here.......... Hoping its the same for you also, as its just the kind of day for a Sunday!
Hope you slept well, my friend.
