(no subject)
It’s 3 AM and I am up so I thought I would get a jump on writing today’s entry.
We had a rather busy day yesterday. Recycling was done by noon followed by a few errands and then I accu-sucked the middle level of the house. I just couldn’t bring myself to pick up each of the little shredies that didn’t make it into the recycle bags.
The front of Dearest’s pullover was finished last night and I cast on for the sleeves before going to bed. Progress!
It is still chilly here. We had gusty winds on and off all day yesterday and it went down to 32 degrees last night. ARGH! Yes, I stoked up the wood stove again.
So, I went down to the kitchen after dinner to take the tray down only to find that Pucca caught a mouse. Good Pucca! This is the first mouse we have had in the house since installing the electronic pest control thing. Hummm… Right now Pucca is trying to crawl into a banker’s box through the handle holes. Silly cat!
I went out yesterday to pick something up and upon returning I found this next to the keyboard in my office.

All right, it is time I try to go back to bed. More later.
Awoke to blazing sunshine - big :) - and not a cloud to be seen in the sky. A bit windy too but hopefully it will warm up.
