omimouseI was rudely awakened this morning by Drake impatiently batting my nose. Rolling over to look at the clock, I noted that it was six in the morning. Drake began to bat at my hair and meow.
"All right, all right, I'm up!"
Getting dressed with an impatient kitten twining around my ankles, neck, and elbows was difficult, but I managed. The really hard part was keeping her out of my pent and tags. I was just finishing lacing up my boots when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ebonunicorn poked his head into my room.
"Ah, good, you're ready. Get breakfast quickly, we're checking the fence line today, and that's going to take a while."
I tied the last lace, put Drake onto my left shoulder, and slung the M-16 over my right shoulder. Drake, by the way, seems to think that her tail was meant especially for the cleaning of gun barrels. That, and that just because I'm eating something, the cat food is no longer acceptable fare as compared to what I have.
The fence check was pretty standard. We did the normal ward and shield renewal. We'll probabaly need to fix the fence and wall physicaly in a few spots as well. Have to point them out towarinbear, he's much better at stonework than any of the rest of us.
Drake's getting really good at air-walking. She did have to be coaxed out of one tree this morning, but at least I didn't have to climb after her this time. Granted, she fell the last few feet, but she almost made it to my shoulder. It didn't help that the tree was growling at her, either.
Crops are planted, walls are tight, and the big trees are starting to come out of hibernation. There's supposed to be a merchant train through sometime next week, but they could get here any time between now and two months from now. I hope it's sooner rather than later; the kids they fostered with us last year are really starting to get on my nerves. While it was nice to discover that we have a good vein of copper on the land, I'd rather not have dealt with chicken crap over everything for a month.
Need to go swat a cat. Invisibility does not mean she's allowed on the counter, nor does it keep her paw-prints from showing up in the flour.
(What? Perfectly normal day, right?)
