Rude Awakening

And I am not referring to that stupid fat pig who runs the breakfast show on an unnamed old people radio station in Joburg...

This morning I was dragged out of my peaceful sleep by a sharp pain in my left shoulder. When I opened my eyes and realised what was going on, it was a little black cat purrrring away on my shoulder. I threw him across the bed as I tried to get back to sleep again, but then he came and slept right against my back, but above the duvet, so I was half open the rest of the morning....

Tonight I am locking him in the spare room.

No Sleep

I had a very restless night last night. I constantly got kicked by "someone", and when he wasn't kicking me, he would turn around, jerkily, and pull the duvet off me and my two dogs. Eventually one dog got so fed up with this, that he went and slept in between Tristan's legs, because at least there he would be covered all the time. In between these jerking awakenings, I had weird funny disturbing dreams that I cant remember now. All in all it was a very restless evening.

Night from hell

I had a very bad night last night. Lucca kept me awake until 02:00am this morning, because of his ears or his bum or his feet or his nose or his tail or something psychological. I am getting tired of him being so anxious and hypochondriac-ish. Cant I just have a normal dog that has normal issues and get it over and done with. This morning his one ear is bleeding again because he has spent the entire night shaking his head. Will those ears never heal? What am I supposed to do? At least I got to work and got some positive input from one of my directors about my past week. He was very happy with what I have done so far. As for my house excitement, I got very excited yesterday afternoon when we sort of decided to look for a place to buy. Finally we can get a place that we own and we can change as much as we want. Finally all those hours of watching the BBC Leisure channel of home improvement programs will pay off. I am positive for this Monday though. Its gonna be a good one!!

Sleepwalking

Sleepwalking (also called somnambulism or noctambulism) is a parasomnia or sleep disorder where the sufferer engages in activities that are normally associated with wakefulness while he or she is asleep or in a sleep-like state. Sleepwalking is usually defined by or involves the person affected apparently shifting from his or her prior sleeping position and moving around and performing normal actions as if awake (cleaning, walking and other activities).

I encountered something like this for the first time in my life last night. I have always thought that people pretend to sleepwalk or do things in their sleep but they were very conscious of what they do. Well I have to admit defeat and admit that maybe there is something in this sleepwalking thing. What happened last night to me woke me up and the sleepwalker fell right back to sleep. This morning he had absolutely no recollection of what had happened. Or did he......
