Flo and Friends by Jenny Campbell for November 01, 2022

As you say, Winnie, it works every time.

And at 2 Am and 4 AM…

absolutely

That’s right. And the thought of my first cup of coffee and morning emails.

I would sleep all morning if I didn’t have to pee.

Scurrying in the dark add an extra thrill. Unfortunately, when you least need it.

I am with Winnie.

My dog needs to go outside gets me up.

A water clock with an alarm.

On that note……OK, I’m back, did I miss anything?

I wake up at dawn, hang around hoping for more sleep for a while, then work on waking up my dog. “Wanna get up?” “No.” wait a while…“Wanna get up?” “No. Pet me.” wait a while…“Wanna get up?” I think I am very lucky to have a dog who sleeps so well. I get up, get ready, get her out and we walk far enough that she comes home, eats, and sleeps a few more hours. But bottom line, I would say the bathroom really gets me up, even if the sun wakes me up.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. And a pair of loquacious Siameses howling at the top of their lungs, “Feed me, feed me niaow.” And then the doggos wanting hugs and pets and their food. And the chickens needing feeding and eggs needing gathering. And Mrs. Jenkins little boy who broke his leg falling down the stairs being late for school. Like Captain Pike, “I love this job.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7m9o5jOIYK0
