@catgirl Yes I have a furry friend who does exactly the same thing although he runs around my room and jumps on my bed sometimes landing on my chest. Luckily for me he is very small then he comes up to my face for kisses so I cannot resist and of course get up and give him his treats at about 6am. Looking forward to winter where he will sleep in a bit longer.
Thanks for the comments re scarf I will definately keep you posted on my scarf project. If nothing else it is good for my brain which hasnt been used for a long time. xx

GOOF morning @Mazarita @Bunniekins @catgirl @CheerBear and anyone else passing!
I really hope you're feeling better today @Mazarita.
Not much happening here yesterday and today. I've been having very broken sleep too and consequently little energy during the day. Maybe I'll cook later for all of us which I haven't done since Christmas. Tomorrow I should be having my support worker - haven't heard from her yet. I don't have any appointments I have to get to for a change. Might go for a swim at the heated pool but there will be another 3 hours with her. Not sure what I want to do with that. Suggestions welcome.

Fourth sleep for the night done now. I think I've managed to cobble together about 8 hours, since I went to bed about 10pm last night (yay me, another day I didn't stay up all night). Three or four sleeps overnight is how it mostly goes it for me at the moment. Haven't slept through the night for a long time. Feeling okay though.
@CheerBear, awesome that the little fish's tummy bug came and went pretty fast and hasn't swept through the household. Is there a botanical gardens anywhere near you? Or maybe a nice local park? Wherever you end up, I hope it's a good one for your little clan.
@Phoenix_Rising, great to see you drop in. Hope your day is full of goof fun.
@Bunniekins, I didn't mean to slow down to only two rows a day. Your scarf might take a while at that rate! Whatever your pace with it today, I hope you are enjoying this new craft you've picked up so adeptly. And sending heaps of good wishes that the new psychiatrist is going to be good.
@catgirl, the mental image I got of your tuxedo cat STARING you awake made me laugh. Enjoy your recovery day after the big one yesterday.

@eth, somehow missed your message before posting my last one. Cooking sounds great. I know you enjoy it. Creatively satisfying too (except if you're me and you have a massive block about doing it). A swim sounds good for tomorrow. Hmmm, I wonder what else you could do with support worker. Walk on beach? Visiting a local art gallery, museum or other public exhibition venue? Will post again if I think of more possibilities. Have a good one, dear friend.

Hi @Former-Member, just got your 'like' here this morning. Hoping you might be thinking of getting out again today. Even just a little walk might be helpful. Regardless of whether you make it out the door though, I hope you have a good one.

Well, goof number one for the day: about to walk out the door to my doctor's appointment and suddenly realised I was leaving an hour too early. Glad I remembered before getting on the bus!
