There are two times of day that I find very enjoyable--the morning and the evening. Every thing begins anew, fresh in the morning. I have a new page that I can fill with all those things that need to be done and those that I just find soothing and delightful. All the mistakes of yesterday, all those what if's and I wish I hadn't's are a thing of the past, to be put away but taken out later to evaluate and to ponder. The evenings are a quiet time to reflect upon all those events of the day, the successes and the failures, a time to relax and plan for the activities of tomorrow. It is a time to spend with family and enjoy the love and comfort that the togetherness brings.
Little Reni slept until 4:30 this morning, and another night of interrupted sleep left me fresh and ready to face yet another day. Reni was so hungry since she had slept from 9 in the evening. After taking her bottle, we made tracks to the litter box. Now you may find this strange, but Reni is such a wise little furball. She doesn't enjoy a messy bed and waits until I put her into the box to do her business. Since hubby brought her in on Friday afternoon, she has had only one accident. I await the day when she can findly make it into the cats' room and into the litter box on her own. It is much as when a child receives his license, and parents do not have to run up and down the rode to and from appointment or practices.
Do you realize that little animals have to be burped just as any baby? They swallow so much air when they nurse. Reni is such a pig that she really gives off a big one! It takes about 45 minutes to feed her. We must stop to use the litter box, eat, stop to burp, eat, stop to play a bit, then eat and sleep! I was able to get on this morning during one of her nap times, but hubby called, woke her up, but she is now sleeping after eating and playing some more.
Besides my regular chores around the house and cooking--something that I truly enjoy--I had a friend come to look at one of mom's sofas. My friend expressed the desire to buy a used one, for money is tight for her. I offered her one of mom's--a sectional or a sofa whichever she preferred. She came last night to look at them and chose the sofa and will come back to pick it up. Since it has been raining some today, she and her hubby might decided to pick it up later. This will save her some money and put to good use a piece of furniture that will always bring back memories of mom and dad and family time.
I await the evening to look back at this day to see if I can be pleased with my actions and have no regrets for what I did or didn't do.
