The house is quiet – only the hum of the computer right now . . . well, and the ringing in my ears, but that is with me all the time.

Hubbymoose has been gone on his trip for two days. I put him on the plane Monday night and he arrived to his destination Tuesday night. Poor guy – 18 hours or so with layovers.

I have heard from him only twice – he texted (I know!!!) from his layover spot and then called when he was picked up by his buddy. I don’t expect him to contact me because I know he is busy visiting with his friends and, hopefully, some of his family.

The grandgirls have come down for their breakfast each morning, although the oldest one is not too willing. lol She sooo does not want to get up in the morning. She also doesn’t want to take her dottering old gramma’s advice to “go to bed earlier.” Had to laugh when the Pup asked if I meant they had to stay home to fix their own cereal – or was it okay to come down to fix their own cereal. They had cereal yesterday, but this morning I cooked (I know!!!) for them. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.
🙂

But, now it is getting late and I need to follow my own advice – go to bed already, gramma! 5:45 a.m. comes mighty early and I have a full day tomorrow. Sleeping in Saturday morning is beginning to sound pretty good.

Now the fridge is running, competing with the sound of the laptop. These are pretty normal sounds ’round here. I am sorta missing hubby moose’s snores from the chair next to mine. We sometimes take “sneak naps” – you know, the kind that sneak up on you – together. This afternoon I took one by myself.

In my chair.

Now?

Off to hog the middle of the bed.

By myself.

‘night, all.

The gavel came down. The Senate President waited until the last cough died away.

“By a unanimous vote the Body has displayed No Confidence in Senator Moriarity. The Senator will be removed immediately.”

Trifecta’s editors challenged us to write 33-333 words using the word CONFIDENCE in its third definition. These are mine – where are yours?

3 a: a relation of trust or intimacy [took his friend into hisconfidence]
b : reliance on another’s discretion [their story was told in strictest confidence]
c : support especially in a legislative body [vote of confidence]
