Sick Day 2

[days_unfolding]

Emailed in sick this morning.

We had a little excitement this morning: a mouse got in the house. (They can get in through the basement stairs.) Lily had it, and Bella took it away and flung it. Then Lily had it again. That had me almost feeling sorry for the mouse.

I’m in the process of feeding the critters, and I’m groaning like an old person. I need to get back to bed. I can’t find Gracie’s meds. I need to tear the kitchen apart looking for them. Bella is still on a hunger strike over the dry food, so I need to start feeding her canned food three times a day.

Slept and woke up with my alarm at noon. I want to go back to sleep, so I’ll go out sick for the rest of the day. I’m making lunch, and Oliver is lying on my copy of The Week.

Bella saves stuff under the bed. She went under and emerged with a full cat food can. I tried to take it away, but she went back under the bed.

Slept until 5 PM. Managed to get my skuzzy bod into the shower. I really want to go back to sleep, but I need to feed the critters and get the garbage. Fed us all, but I'm not going to get the garbage and am just going to bed.
