Time For Some Coffee and Chit Chat

Happy Thursday Everyone! it's a cloudy morning with rain on and off with thunderstorms in the forecast, It's also quite a bit windy. I woke up suddenly this morning and it's so funny that most of the time it will be a nose that wakes us but today it was the silence. I have a fan going in my room all night and it's not too noisy but it's noisy enough to keep me from hearing outside noises. The power went out, my fan went off and the sudden silence woke me up Thankully the power wasn't out for long and I was able to brew my pot of magic beans. Just the thought of not having coffee was scary Since the power had gone out it's going to be one of those days where you constantly expect it to happen again. So, I got as much done this morning as I could "just in case" Now I have some time to spend here but if I suddenly disappear you'll know why! A quick update on our pup Mush who had surgery yesterday. She's sleeping right now after a restless night. She can't get her pain pill until dinner time so I hope she gets some decent sleep today. Poor little thing. I feel so bad for her being so old (16 yrs) and probably wondering "what the heck happened" Hope your day is off to a good start or ending on a positive note.

I was awakened by the mower. I hate that noise and being woke up. Nice to hear Mush is doing okay.

Usually the mowers wake me up on Thursdays but they didn't come today. Guess it's because it rained and the ground is wet.

It's funny how sudden silence will disturb our sleep. Mush did ok today but still a bit restless. I'm sure she's uncomfortable but tomorrow will be better

I hope Mush will be okay. It must be hard for pets that have to undergo surgery.

Especially since they don't know what's going on or why. She's doing better now and I'm sure she'll be back to normal soon

I didn't realize Mush had surgery. All the best to Mush. No power AKA no coffee, bad combination!

Thanks for the best wishes for Mush. Thankfully the power didn't stay out for long and I had my coffee.

She's a trooper but she did need attention today. She had a hard time getting comfortable and had a few accidents. Tomorrow will be better I'm sure

Thanks for the prayers for Mush, She's a trooper but did have an uncomfortable day and needed more attention than I thought she would. I'm sure tomorrow will be better. Glad you have dual air (breeze) coming at you while you work. I'd be lost without my a/c and fans

~How frustrating the loss of power but at least it had restored to have your elixir of life to get you going again. So sad & bewildering for poor mush I hope she is not in too much discomfort. Have a lovely day!

Poor Mush. My heart breaks when I hear about an animal in pain. I hope she's much better by now. I'm behind about 3 or 4 days.
