Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 13th day of November, 2015.
This has been the most unusual morning ever in our house.
We, I slept okay …. at least got some sleep.
The past couple of mornings I have been coaxing Alvin to stay in bed until the alarm goes off at 5:00.
So far so good.
As you know there has been an unwanted “guest” in our house.
Still not caught so heaven only knows where it is at this point.
For some reason I feel safe upstairs ….
So this morning when we went downstairs, just after turning on all of the lights on the main floor, I donned my trusty winter boots.
Bravely I opened the bathroom door and said to Alvin …. “please check for me” and he knew.
He just walked in and sniffed about and turn to me as if to say “it is okay, Momma” and ” I am hungry, already.”
He is my HERO.
So I scooped out some food from the container that is now in the bathroom because a trap is set on the floor of the pantry.
Took the bowl back to the front door where his water bowl is now located.
When he was done – I went outside with Alvin.
I just cannot be in the house without him at my side.
Once back in, with my trusty winter boots on I made my oatmeal, grabbed a glass of water with lemon and a banana and we went upstairs to the office.
Kind of feels like camping.
Our whole schedule has changed.
But maybe that is a good thing.
So I wrote in my journal upstairs before I ate because I cannot sit at the table.
Then checked Facebook … now writing my blog and lastly I will put on my face and get dressed.
I know it is crazy …. but this is my current reality.
For me, even to be in the house is a move in the right direction.
I even made a simple supper last night ….. veggie burger in the oven ….. grabbed a bun …. mustard and cheese … and veggies … done.
I hope that this change is not long term.
Just want my life back.
Well almost time to go and get ready ……
I hope that you have a great Friday.
When there is no choice there is always change.
This is my thought as of now.
Happy Friday the 13th ….. almost mid November now.
Special Hello to: all those celebrating a birthday in November …. Happy Birthday.
Always, Carol and Alvin
