Mid-night news flashes
It’s about -5F here at the moment.
It’s dark.
I’m surrounded by furry things who are heat-seeking beings, dedicated to taking naps in the most comfy of places.
I am pretty much wide awake. I am amusing myself by thinking of my dream house. I am also pondering the sonnet form and wondering if that might be a good goal for NaPoWriMo 2013. How do I really feel about rhyming or regular meter for that matter? I’m not sure and I’m pretty sure I haven’t done enough of either to really have a legitimate opinion.
I’m going to try and stop pondering and go to sleep.


Now if you could have done laundry you would not be pondering. You would be washing fabric.
Always good to do some dreaming. It keeps the juices running. Now off to sleep.
One can ponder and launder at the same time!
I was disturbed about 2am by soft paws and that particular loud entreating purr, and Leela tucked herself in under the covers and against my back. Very comforting to both of us.
I did end up doing some wash last night – two loads… me bad. Slight leakage around where the discharge hose comes out of the back. I want to replace that hose with a longer one anyway so I’m hoping that will also fix the leakage part.
Somewhere about the same time as your furry visitor’s appearance, my littlest squirmed her way between the covers which is a new one for her. She conked out completely to the point where I forgot she was there and was surprised when she came to and had to figure out how to get back out.
