I'm loving this sunny day with the snow glistening outside, the cats sleeping in their hammocks in the windows next to me, and the sound behind me of quiet munching of a hamster who is awake in it's nest eating a midnight snack. Days like today give me peace and joy. When I am at home working, I often go without music as I find the silence so refreshing. I think I surprise some people when they find out I would describe myself as both shy and introverted because I can be so friendly and talkative when I am with others. But my ability to do that well is linked to how much quiet and alone time that I have recently gotten or that I can look forward to in the near future. In case anyone might think I'm a music hater, I will clarify that I do love to listen to music, but sometimes it's too distracting for me or sometimes I crave silence, so I mostly listen when I'm doing housework.
These pictures of Haleth are just as old as the ones I posted last week. 😬 She doesn't look this brown anymore as her color has faded. I don't know exactly when she was born, but I estimate that sometime next week she'll be 2 years old. My plan is to gather up some of her favorite treats, get the pink hat out of storage, and throw her a party. I will be sure to take pictures to post next week! 💕
This mug is actually in Glorfindel's tank now. I decided that Haleth's pictures in this mug that were taken many months ago were too cute to not share, so I had to recreate the scene with Glorfindel too. He didn't really sit still for the pictures and wouldn't look at the camera, but that's okay, because he's still adorable!
