At 4:00 a.m., I was awakened by thumping and banging, in the bathroom. For the third morning, in a row, Rowdy was unrolling the toilet paper, Buddy cheering her on. She's lucky that I can't move very quickly, at that hour!
Stumbling into the kitchen, I switched on the coffee maker. I noticed that the night light was out but, assumed that the bulb had blown. Out with dogs, for my first cigarette. After that, I gave them their food. Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, I notice that the coffee is not brewing. A quick look around showed that none of the LED displays were on, either: stove clock and microwave. In addition, the refrigerator is off, too. All of the outlets in my kitchen are on one fuse and it has blown. Not sure if we have any spares and I don't know where they are so, that will wait until Bill gets up.
The most pressing need is coffee! Being an old house, it has a dearth of outlets. The coffee maker is now sitting on a living room end table and I've finished most of the pot.
Having successfully awakened me, Rowdy is stretched out, on the LaZBoy looking out of the picture window. I have had just about all that I can take, of her early-morning rampages. Darn it, I need my sleep! We would never consider getting rid of her but, like Pearl, Rowdy is going to start spending her nights, in a crate. Opie sleeps all night and, without Rowdy's influence, so does Buddy.
On a better note, the twins' birthday party is today. The presents are nicely wrapped and I have brand-new batteries in the digital camera. I want to get a good picture of Sam and the babies, put it in a nice frame and give it to her, for Mothers' Day. I also want one of Mom, Mark, the babies and me. We never got a multi-generational picture, when my grandmother was alive and I want one, before my mother is gone.
Hope everybody else's weekend goes well.
