Sleeping arrangements

One of the cats came and slept on me last night. I don’t know if it was for warmth (probably) or comfort. He lay with his head on my hand and gently purred. The only problem was when I had to get up to go to the bathroom. As I shifted position he moved down by my feet. That was good, so I had a cup of coffee before I went back to bed. But then it was difficult to get back in bed. I tried to slide across the mattress but my feet and knees were bent uncomfortably. The cat didn’t move, so I slowly straightened my legs, but I knew it would come to a point when I would have to push him down the bed. Then our female cat came in the bedroom. She jumped up and the male cat jumped down…. I breathed a sigh and straightend my legs, what a relief !

Cats come in

Cats come in,

Cats go out,

Paws leave prints

Mud, earth, water,

Cats eat

Cats sleep

Make your home

Their territory.

They take over

your chair

Your bed

Your keyboard

Your larder.

Cats

Our Masters?

Sore throat

I don’t think it’s serious. I just have a sore throat, but I haven’t gone out today despite needing shopping and the chance of some entertainment. I just feel a bit hot and tired, but that could be age related (yay hot flushes, not) and it is humid. I went to bed this afternoon and tried to sleep but then hubby decided he wanted a conversation…. Out came grouchy me… Leave me alone me… But now I’m more awake but might go to bed early…

awake 6.30 am

Sitting here- pondering what to do about college work, I never seem to get a minute to myself. I couldn’t sleep, I’m either too hot or too cold or someones elbow is sticking in my ribs, but because I woke up and started typing, now hubby is up and ready to go for a walk! For heavens sake can’t I get a quiet moment to myself?

I’m seriously thinking about single beds! you know you are getting older when you think that comfort outweighs companionship. No more knees in your back, or elbows in your ear, or your shoulder being used as a pillow.

No I’m not doing college stuff, I’m just trying to chill for half an hour. No doubt I will go back to bed soon!

Outdoor cat update

He sleeps on the bed

I get up to let him out

I get up to let him in

I have to move my legs

To give him room

I get up to feed him

I love him

How did that happen?!

Sea of sleep

Posted on February 9, 2021 Posted in UncategorizedTagged Bed, Dream, harbour, Poem, Poetry, Port, Sea, Storm, WaterLeave a comment

Storm tossed in my duvet

Slipping beneath waves of sleep,

Sometimes floating

Or clawing back to the surface.

Submerged in dreams

And in my galleon

Surrounded by dolphins

I finally wake

In the safe port

In the harbour,

Of bed…

He’s in again

In bed, if I lie on my back the outdoor cat now walks onto my chest and lies down. Paws on my hand, he will lie his chin down on my hand too as he goes to sleep. The only trouble is I can’t stay in that position all night, so eventually he lies at the bottom of the bed. He often wants to go back outside after two or three hours, but gradually the time inside is extending and outside getting shorter. And he’s put on weight and my two indoor cats have accepted him.

Cats keep warm

On windowsills

On beds

In front of fires

Our three cats keep warm.

They snuggle

Curl and stretch

Heat seekers

Where the warmest places are

You will find them.

On the coldest nights

They each have their ‘spot’.

There comfy place.

To sleep and rest

And RELAX.

Outdoor cat likes our bed!

Guess who I found had snuggled up on our bed! He only stayed in for a couple of hours then went back out. Last night he came in late and only went out at 7.30am.Hes very polite, goes and yowls by the back door when he wants out, or if we have gone to bed he comes up and wakes me up! After three years outside that we know about this is really good progress. Goodness knows why he was abandoned, he’s very sweet.
