I’m alone this evening for a change. The TV is off and the candle I got for my birthday is burning. It is still early, its light out yet. The sky is gray, it snowed some today. The cat is curled up on the back of the couch because the Chromebook has my lap. And the dog is pawing the footrest on the recliner. I believe he wants a biscuit. Awe, he gave up and finally lay down. He is a good old dog. He gets plenty of biscuits. I brought home ribs for supper, So that is done and over. I’m off duty. This kinda feels like my ‘me’ time at 3 in the morning. Except I’m drinking water not coffee, and it’s light out. I got the house sounds to keep me company. The furnace and fridge hum a duet. Beside me snores the dog. On the other side, my philodendron reaches out threatening to over take me and my chair. I find it all quite comforting. Of course the cat must disrupt this silent revelry. She paws at the loose molding by the front door making it snap loudly. Thus, she summons me to let her out. She has me well trained, that noise is annoying. Back to my cozy state of mind. Too late… Life has intervened. Emergency mending job for my daughter’s bra. No sooner had I finished that, when my husband arrives and turns the TV back on. Something tells me I’ll be fixing oatmeal, here in a bit. LGR(C)2/6/18 |

Oh well, the upside is that there's a 3 am every day, Miss Lori. Pick any of them in any quantity you wish until you can't!  ...and remember, "A stitch in time saves two!"  ...just bein' Bluesy |

Bluesy, Well the down side was only that it was such a predictable routine. Oh look! 2:56, here I go again. ~L |

2:56? My clock says 3:45! You and I are going two different directions, though! You're on the upside and I'm on the downside! Ha-Ha-ha! Nighty-night Sweet Princess... ...just bein' Bluesy |
