Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for May 07, 2015

Bad, bad kitties!! I actually feel sorry for that poor pooch :)

That’s a bus!

The recruitment went well…,

The Arcata Bus…..

Good morning. Have been up since 2:45. I have an appointment with my doc this morning to talk about this non-sleeping problem. If I could go to sleep at a decent hour I would be ok but apparently I can’t. I tried reading, watching tv, watching ASMR videos, just lying there in the dark – and still can’t get to sleep.

I’m having trouble doing REPLY to postings and pictures. When I hit REPLY, I see a little box with a X in it. I type the reply then hit SEND and nothing happens. I have used IE and Google Chrome and neither works. Any suggestions?

Moose would be great in the kissing booth. He loves everyone.

I sleep better when I don’t have sugar in the evening and take melatonin and calcium tablets. I go to sleep almost immediately but often wake up at 1 or 2.

Orange Kitty started a big fight last night and I got badly scratched breaking it up. He is banished from the bedroom until he gets over his little snit with the new kitty. The brothers are adapting, though reluctantly. Today is my birthday – I cancelled a planned overnight backpacking trip due to weather coming in, now I am trying to decide if a day hike is even possible without hitting snow on the road coming home. A good friend is taking me to dinner tonight.

Temperature going up to 25C today and sunny. This time next week it’ll be 11C. Humph. And what’s this I hear about the U.S. government invading Texas?

Wants to grow big like his friend

I was only playin’

Hard to believe, but Chesney’s scheme seems to be working!

@jessegooddoggyHappy Birthday! hope you enjoy your day even if you’re unable to get out for a hike :)

Good morning my friends.___________@jesseegooddogy: Happy Birthday. Sorry that you had to cancel your trip. God Bless You.___________@QoA: many excellent suggestions on your sleep problem. I hope the doctor can help you. God Bless a You.___________Have a bountiful day everyone.

Off for a day hike on the closest trail, the storm is still further north. And I did promise Freddog…

Happy Birthday to you, jessegooddoggy!

Has anyone checked out Graham’s link to the upper right called Potpourri? It’s pretty neat! WELL DONE GRAHAM!

I printed the one about the Wind for my wall here at work.

Cake!

Chocolate chip cookie!

Its a Party and you are all invited!

@JesseHappy birthday…sorry to hear OK caused you to be scratched! Enjoy your hike and BD dinner. Bet Freddog will enjoy the hike too.

@QOAThis is what works for me….put on headphones and listen to either live radio or CDs. Getting to the point of relaxation where you feel you are drowsy is the key. Do let us know if your problem improves.

I feel for that dog…loaded up with fleas on the way to Palm Springs. At least the fleas are gittin’ out a town one way or the other. Jack and Chesney look smug…but cute.

I discovered something called ASMR on the web. These are sounds / triggers that some people find very relaxing. For me, it’s crinkly plastic. For others, it’s fingernails tapping on hard surfaces or brushing sounds. I put my headphones on and just listen to the noises. I can fall asleep a lot of the time this way. The problem is my laptop stays on thru the night which I don’t like.
