I think it really does help to have a fur friend to sleep with. Most especially if you're not sleeping with a people friend.
I've been sleeping by myself for years. Bill died in 2016, and I remember him in prayers almost every late night vespers. This morning, no doggies were about, because I gave them a night off. They never seem to get it that when I'm crocheting another dishrag, they shouldn't be putting their noses between me and the spool of thread connected to my crochet hook. I really like homemade dishrags. Someone somewhere decided not to manufacture sturdy cotton cloths sans any semblance of absorption, so I crochet a lot. I used to think they were too pretty to use, but after one of the doggies chewed one in half, I had to zigzag the edges of what was left, which looked like a pretty little bib, but it receives the most usage. Someday, I'll remake that one, it's in pastels, and somehow, I've never made a prettier one than that one. I guess the doggie couldn't help herself, although I thought doggies were colorblind. lol Not Miss Songie! I think she must read my mind for more reasons than that. She's now a retired mom with 6 puppies left over I took a liking for due to one reason or another. Mr. Ringo seems to be something of a genius, because I saw him organize the whole lot of them one evening to hunker together at night to keep each other warm in the cool winter night, and they were barely a month old at the time. Miss Beautiful is so cute, and so shy she lets everyone else eat first, which often leaves her with nothing. And oh, my she is a loving little spoonful. Princess used to act gracious like royalty, but the boys cured her of having any airs. They turned her into a rough-and-tumble me first twit, and she bites them back when they get out of line. The boyz grew jealous of Mr. Ringo eventually, so he won't go near them because he knows he is scholarly and they are just meanies. Magellan still goes exploring, Spotty is still stone deaf which earned him a dummy response from his peers. Knothead outgrew all the others because he is the most enthusiastic at feeding time. Nothing wrong with that, but he has a hard push when he wants something! Three were given away of Songie's 9 puppies, and she's grown very close to the front door 24/7/365. She's still the beautiful mother who would rather see her children eat every morsel before feeding herself, which usually results in me bringing her indoors and giving her some peace at the circus mealtime is with the 6 puppies, except for Miss Beautiful, of course. She doesn't know she's beautiful, but she just is. Well, enough prattle from this coffee enthusiast, it's time for a second cup! Have a lovely day, everyone.
I found some more hymns this morning I'd never heard before:
Zone1 - Be Thou My Vision, O Lord --Songs of love and trusting in God
Thanks to Foxfyre for a little space to refer back to when I forget which of the 3 vitamins I should be taking when the neuropathy reappears due to my vitamin deficiencies. I really got lousy dna in the blocking of vitamins most people get from their diet. My grandfather died of issues related to his case of sciatia, back in the 60s. He was my favorite person in my mother's side of the family, although I was lucky to have love for everyone in both sides of the family.
