Ivan at Grandmas

Yesterday, Tuesday, my parents took Ivan for two days to look after him at their house. It makes it a bit easier on them. We don't mind.

But last night and today (morning and evening) it's been awfuly quiet and tidy around here.

Also, this morning, although my phone alarm was set for 6 a.m., we didn't hear it, but overslept. We woke up, refreshed, around 7:30 a.m.

We did the same thing a few months ago when my parents took Ivan. We slept until almost 8 a.m. and were late to work.

Oops.

It's funny how our minds, at least mine, work subconsciously. When Ivan's here, I must always be on some subconscious alert, because I hear his smallest stir or sound. When I know he's not here, that alert must get turned off because I can sleep through more annoying and loud things, such as alarm noises.
