Rude awakening
Weird things seem to happen when I am half awake. The other night, (about 2
am) I stumbled into the bathroom to take care of some business. I heard a slight 'thump' but didn't pay any attention to it - I just figured it was one of my cats coming to 'help' me. I started to sit down, when I felt this thing... Not sure what it was, I threw myself to the side, sat down hard on the floor and decided that I needed to turn on the light. My hubby had to use the toilet plunger earlier, and left it sitting beside the toilet, and one of the cats had tipped it over so the handle was over the seat. Jeesh! Of course, I had a couple of cats staring at me like I had gone completely over the edge! (we know that for a fact! Kiara and Kovou) Patti and the Bridgeport, NY Crew |

A neighbor asked me once if I ever slept. I asked him why he asked that question. He said no matter when he got up at night he could always see lights on in my house. Those tiny 4 watt things do show up at night. MLB |

One's inside of a cupboard, another's in a closet in an unused room, and the other's behind the sofa. |

It's nice to be able to dim the lights for a relaxing bubble bath. And we just leave it on very low every night. Jo |

There was no moon that night, so it was totally dark. I felt disoriented trying to feel my way out. Now I keep a flashlight in every room. MLB |

But if I'm lucky I'll find a better place to live on $580/month with six cats and no road nearby for them to get killed on. |
