Lamp
Moby ensconced on the new blanket*, fleecy and warm.
In the sun, with the bedpad turned on, bliss for a cat.
Evening light rendering the lamp useless, for an hour or so.
Time changes back in a week. Looking forward to Halloween. Birds in the Hedge. Errands to run. D short of gloves. He found four, none of which is a match for any other. Last year, I was a bit under the clothes/storage situation, and Stuff Got Lost.
Nine months ago, and a few weeks, we moved in. Hardest move ever, for both of us. Neither of us exactly sure why, so much in our favor. We had more than a day, we had help, moving from a small place into a larger place - much larger than ever before. It was January, but very mild that week. Yes, we'd bought the house, but that went off so easily, really. Yet, we were shaken to the core, struggling with basic sorting and motor skills. D thinks it was in large part because he was cold all the time, wondering if it would ever be warm in this house. A good space heater eventually helped with that. I felt so guilty that he seemed so miserable in this irrevocable move.
It's gotten better. We do love living here. Hearing Moby gallop around, engaged and healthier, was what we both held on to. That sound, of him chasing and thumping at night still causes us to giggle.
*One of those so cheap on sale things, I went back for a second one, my favorite kind.
