Good morning everyone,
Just wanted to give you all an update after last night’s events. Everyone is okay this morning, and so far, there haven’t been any more confrontations. It was a rough night, though, and I got very little sleep.
Normally, I have Onyx sleep in the office, enclosed with the screen door, when things like yesterday happen. Last night, however, she didn’t want to and cried, so I had her sleep in the bed with me. Us cat parents know that closed bedroom doors don’t really work with cats, lol. I was on high alert all night with every little movement.
Olive was a little punk too, hopping all over the bed multiple times to get me up to feed her. I’m really exhausted today and probably won’t be very useful. I did get an automatic feeder to help with Olive’s night cravings, but with the confrontational issue happening again, I’ll still need to get up to make sure no one ends up biting anyone else’s head off when the feeder goes off. Unless I can get Onyx to sleep in the office again, the feeder won’t be very helpful for now.
The machines are back today, tearing down more trees. It’s so loud that when a tree falls, the whole house shakes like an earthquake. The next few months—and likely years—will be challenging while this new residential area is being built.
