is that now i am WIDE AWAKE. my husband is fast asleep. he, too, took a nap this afternoon, but it’s because he was VERY VERY TIRED. he got up much earlier than i did, plus he’s CONVALESCING.
we were very busy today, at least for somebody who can’t get around so easily. we’re making a video, and we went to a few different locations and he was walking all around doing the shooting. so he probably overdid it.
but why isn’t he better? when will he get better? i feel that surely there must be something i can do to help him get better.
we also have a houseguest right now, and that’s probably a little tiring for kevin, too. although he’s about the cutest guest we could have – amy and jim’s little dog shadow. shadow has been very good and he’s so cute and little. the cats don’t quite know what to make of him. they’re not really scared, because he’s so little, but he is definitely a dog, so they’re very reserved. they don’t get too close.
last night shadow was sleeping with us, and mollie was down at the foot of the bed, but then at about three a.m., shadow decided he needed to be by himself, so he came into the living room to sleep. i worried that he was going to get lonely and brought him back to bed, and he pretty quickly went back into the living room again. i worried because even though other people have watched him at amy and jim’s house, and he has stayed here before with amy and jim, shadow has never had a sleepover all by himself. so i worried that he was scared.
but he seemed fine today; he picked up one of mollie’s many toys and started flinging it up in the air and chasing it, and he was more energetic than i’ve ever seen him. maybe he was happy because we wasn’t overshadowed by the somewhat insane and boisterous noodle and numie, the other two dogs of amy and jim.
he got more and more worked up, but then he threw up. i think he was a little too excited, plus he’d gotten into the cats’ food earlier. shortly after that he had a couple of accidents, of both the poop and pee variety. i think this is because we let him out before we left, but then when we got back we forgot to let him out again. he obviously had forgotten that he could get out the doggie door.
right now he’s sleeping on the couch next to me, but i’ll try to coerce him into the bedroom. mollie isn’t totally crazy about not being the only dog around here but i’m trying to teach her to be a good hostess.
so luckily there’s plenty to keep me busy inside tomorrow, since it’s going to be ridiculously cold outside.
ok then,
saturday night grace.
