Caitie, the Sleep Aid
I feel better now, but a cold had me down a bit the last couple of days. Let’s sum things up quickly here: Wednesday after work, Pat + I dashed to the local mega-mart for provisions, and when we got home we unloaded the car and I drove to my 7:00 haircut appointment.
Once shorn and back home around 8 o’clock, Caitie accosted me in the upstairs bathroom and demanded her usual brushing. I went along with it, not only because she is a Good Cat who deserves good things, but because after she jumped off my lap a few minutes later, as I hoped, she led me to the spare bedroom.
The Calico Diva jumped on the bed, and I lay down next to her. Draping the sheepskin on my abdomen, I let her knead and knead as long as she wanted, and when she climbed down and lay down beside me on the mattress, in a matter of minutes, I conked out. My get-up-and-go had, as they say, got up and went. About 4:30 a.m. I woke up, fed the cats, got a little water for myself, and went back to sleep for a few more hours. Been trying to catch up on missed blogging and blog surfing tonight. And so, back now to checking out the blogosphere…
