When I woke up at 3am this morning - I immediately started to pet the cat - thought it might relax me into being able to sleep again - and the rule in the house is - if I'm not sleeping - neither is Sadie - she gets the pleasure of sleeping all day long while I have to be at work - so the least she can do is stay awake in the middle of the night when I can't sleep. Of course, by 3:30am she'd had enough and jumped off the bed - unacceptable. I thought maybe she was just using the facilities or getting some water - but I heard her jump onto her cat tree - probably thinking she would get more sleep away from me - definitely correct in her thinking! But I wouldn't have that - again - if I can't sleep - neither can she - so I called her name - made my clicking and kissy noise and within a minute she was back up on the bed - of course, her tail told me she wasn't really happy about it - but she was a good sport all the same - sat nicely while I bugged her before I decided that trying to sleep was a futile endeavor and just decided to get up.
One of my problems is that I've been sick all week - caught a nasty cold early on - and driving to and teaching in Long Beach all week probably didn't help. I've been taking my Zicam all week - which I think has helped - but this cold seems determined to make its way down to my chest. Was all congested and started coughing while in bed and decided that getting up and sitting might help - that along with cough syrup, if I could find any. Well, I did find some - although it expired in March of this year - oh well - I took it anyway - what's the worst that can happen - it will have lost it potency and won't work. Although I'm not sure if it is sitting up or the cough syrup - but I do feel better since I got up.
Now the battle is not to eat anything - I woke up hungry but have to weigh in at Weight Watchers in a couple of hours. I really wanted hot chocolate when I woke up - but will save that for later - have had a craving to try Starbucks Hazel Nut Hot Chocolate on recommendation from a good friend! - am making myself a cup of tea right now instead.
I just noticed that the cat is watching me from just inside my bedroom - like she is beckoning me back into the room to sleep! Maybe I'll lay on the couch for a bit and continue my marathon of 'The Office' - have only watched it on occasion - but have started renting it from the first season - hilarious - and the commentary by the cast on the DVD's is wonderful! Ok - enough for now - wanted you all to know that I am still alive and relatively speaking - well.

I hope that you kick the cold before it gets too far into the whole bronchial thing. If Sadie is trying to shirk her responsibilties in keeping you entertained...stare at her. It seems to work when she wants to keep people awake!!
