Tuesday night was super nice, I got sewing done, some crochet done and got video game time. Seriously, what a nice evening....so when I went to bed and finished up book #11 of 2021 which was Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett. I then started Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. Its scifi with necromancy...so Warhammer 40k? Lol. its been interesting and they just throw you in the deep end to start...very much like Glenn Cook in The Black Company...speaking of, I really need to do a re-read of that series...its been a while.
So I'm reading and a storm starts blowing in...and I do mean blowing. Lots of wind, wind chimes going crazy, heavy ass rain, lightening striking the wash and thunder so loud. Usually I have no problem with this but my skin was itchy and I couldn't get comfortable. I got up at midnithgt to get benedryl and the cats were hiding in the linen closet. They don't normally freak so that was new. I then just stayed away listening to the storm and mel snoring and trying not to scratch non-existent hives. Its so annoying but I fell asleep after 2am.
The next morning was rough and Tasha was a scaredy cat and hid in Benton's closet all day. It took us forever to find her..she didn't' even want to come out for treats. We all gave her love and snuggles and treats and she was on her front room perch at night but this AM she's been hiding behind the back couch in the family room. We have more storms coming and I'm not sure what to do. Our Baroness stopped by last night to work on a project but we just ended up kibitzing which was just fine. And she suggested that I give her some benadryl or dramamine to help her calm down. I'm not sure what dosage and will call the vet. I'm up for helping her out and making sure she's loved... if she was a snuggle kitty it would be nice but she's very aloof in general.
Even with a bad night of sleep and not hitting the gym cause I did not feel safe enough to drive, lift and drive back when so tired I had a nice night. Being a sounding board for our Baroness and chit chatting on various topics is good. I kinda needed a night like that. But tonight its back to the sewing grind. Gotta do some fancy cutting to make the most of trim things but all good.
Also, a big shout out to SilkBaron.com....their customer service is fabulous and really nice. I called and left a message since its had been 5 business days and no shipping confirmation. I realized looking at past reciepts that this swatch order didn't have shipping marked and figured I did something wrong. Got a ring back from Andrew and they have just been swamped with orders and mine was actually next in the swatch cuts so all good. I said cool no issue. They got me my tracking number before they closed last night.
So brain is tired but I'm feeling better after drugging out myself to sleep last night though my REM and deep sleep get jacked by that but I slept and that was the important part. I will workout and work on projects tonight and tomorrow is the day off and moving day for Linnet. And then a weekend of sewing and kibitzing with my apprentice and Baroness.
