Last night was interesting. Lady Chica is scared of the sheet lightning. So off and on again she climbed into bed and woke me up by licking my face. She wanted to be cuddled. The storm was far away but we had a lot of sheet lightening.
People in Arlington had the storm, even some hail.

I spent the day sewing like crazy. Well, like an older woman. 1 down, 44 blocks to go.
PPQS tonight. We had shrimp for dinner. Yeah.

Lady Chica's tale
Too exhausted to write tonight. We went over to visit Pup. Lots of squirrels out.

Blitzen's tale
Ditto. Tired out. too tired even to go out to the kitchen to get a treat. Mom gives us a treat at bed time.
