Good for you!! Wine is good for you! And if if put you out, then you probably needed the rest. I can’t believe they’re showing non-stop Christmas movies on W and it’s not even mid-November!! Hope you milked out a few more hours sleep - I think I nodded out somewhere between 9 and 10 and got 4 or 5 hours of broken sleep, after which I gave up. 😾

How does your daughter get to work if you don’t drive her? Or is it really close?

I only wish I had horses in the barn! I love them, but we’re only on an acre and a half, plus they’re hugely expensive. We actually have 2 barns, but they’re used mainly for storage. My hubby had a sound & lighting business for years and one of the requirements when we were looking for houses was outbuildings for all of the equipment, plus all the rest of his tools and toys. So, only kitties in the barn. We have 6 house kitties (yes, we’re insane. But in our defence, we didn’t plan to have this many.  We started with 2 and each one after that came into the house for a reason.  I think I told you, the last one in was found terrified, freezing and starving under our back deck at New Year’s last year.  She’d been abused, then abandoned.  We brought her in to save her life and by the time she recovered enough to be moved outside, it would have been mean to do so.). We have 3 kitties that live in the garage. There were 5, but we lost one in late spring and another just recently. We have at least 11 in the big barn, spread over 3 separate areas, and at least 1 in the smaller barn. Several went missing this summer. As they were in varying states of socialization, I have to believe that they found other homes and are now living in houses instead. I can’t believe that they’d just wander off - they knew where their meals were coming from and where “home” was. Socks, in particular, was so friendly and cute - he was a real cuddle bum too! So we’re down from about 30, our count from about a year ago. They all have names and respond to them too.
