We opened the attic room last night. How delightful to find that all those miscellaneous trips up the steep stairs to "stock" it at the end of last summer has paid off. A mouse chewed up a candle, but that was the only serious attrition. So far I have not found a nest or chewed bedding. A nice surprise was the glass-encased snack department. I knew I had left one but did not recall the details, but it was all right there along with water and a spare supply of bedtime BP meds. And it was nice and DARK for solid sleeping. There was even a charger for the bedtime-stories MP3 player-- I thought I had removed it but it was right there waiting.

The sloped ceilings make it just like being in our camper. AWAY. But without paying for dog boarding! :~)

The home office will go into summer hibernation-prep this week.

A gate for better upstairs kitteh-mgmt has been fashioned-- Hardi gave me his Friday as surprise early-b-day gift, to help out with little chores waiting for that second pair of hands.

It was a bumpy re-entry to the downstairs, but my backporch prayer bag also was waiting for me when I managed to get out back for a bit. I need to go back to bed! The last month has been an intense worktime-- I need the downtime to balance it.
