RTBTCKI Weighted Kitten
Nov. 15th, 2020 08:10 amI found out about weighted blankets through a friend who got one for her son on the recommendation of his therapist. She said it was a miracle. Her son was able to sleep through the night rather than waking up at an absurd hour and unable to get back to sleep.
I got Caroline one because she, like me, is a flipper while sleeping. She loves it. She says it is like a warm hug and is comforting. Doesn’t surprise me since she loved to be swaddled when she was a baby.
I have my own version of this. It is called Phoebe. She is the youngest of our clowder and loved to sleep with Peter and me. She loves even more to sleep on top of me giving me a warm weight with a lovely purring massage. The first time she did this, I was a little startled. Now, I don’t even notice.
This morning I woke up at 3:30 AM and was having a hard time falling back to sleep. Phoebe crawled up on top of me and settled down. I fell back to sleep feeling the purr slow down as she fell asleep on top of me.
Yesterday I took my first on-line puppet course from David Bizzaro about building toilet paper tube puppets based on works of Hans Fettig. It was a lot of fun and I highly recommend it. Thank you to the North Eastern Puppet Guild for bring it to my attention. More on that Tuesday I think.
Now I have to pull out my Fettig book and get some ideas for some projects.
Inky has taken to falling asleep on the ottoman next to me in the morning. She gets her pets and then curls up knowing I will protect her from the other cats.
We are getting a break from the rain this morning. It is a lovely fall day.
Today I have several activities planned. I am making a physical list since I read a paper on procrastination and ways to counteract. I am still figuring out how to avoid getting distracted by the shiny Internet but I am getting better about it.
Work is good. I am learning new skills and how they want me to do things. It is amazing how a good manager can motivate a store and a bad or ineffective manager can kill the working experience. I am happy that I am at a store with a great manager and happy employees.
I am grateful for kittens who calm.
