It was nice to have some blue skies and sunshine today. The day began early with some frequently interrupted sleep. We were together in the middle of the night for a while and then I ended up moving to the guest room thinking maybe that would help. I let the cat stay in there which as a mistake since I know she scratches at the mirror in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. So I eventually put her out in the halllway.

And within another round of dreams and drifting back off to sleep I awoke to the sound of the same cat fighting in the hallway with another. By this point I had reached irritation levels and I was grateful that this remains more or less now a foreign and unfrequently visited state. I fell back asleep and was soon awake again at the sound of boys taking their showers. The pipes in our walls are loud in the mornings.

So I was up after that but made up for it later. The afternoon was spent catching up on the naps I had missed in the night. There was one in the early afternoon and when I woke up I knew it had not been enough. Dad left for chapel and came back with me progressing from a second nap. The boys came home from school and I eventually came out to work on the pizza crusts. Before that we took a wintery walk outside in the paths.
