All I ask...

[spqrblues]

...is eight hours uninterrupted sleep. Just for one night (night being the operative word). I was seriously thinking of scraping together money to stay at the hotel at next week's media convention in New Jersey, but who can get a full night's sleep at a convention full of friends one only sees once or twice a year? Yes, I start could going to bed at eight-thirty, if I had something to knock me out so early, then I'd get in more hours before the cat and other people's alarm clocks start dicing my sleep into segments. I guess once I have health coverage again I could beg for some Ambien and just deal with being up at 5 in the morning and give up evening activities. I am really really angry right now. Probably because I've had so little sleep for so long. I hate everything. And either I post about it here, or start throwing things around the room, and the only easily thrown objects nearby are books, and that would just be wrong, or the laptop, and I would probably regret that.

Eh, well. Just the usual venting.

Lack of sleep definitely impacts your temperament. :( Can you wear earplugs, or do they bother you? You might try silicon plugs. I have to wear them anymore, after five years of living beneath neighbors who thought it was etiquette to stomp around between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m.

So very very kind of you to listen to me rant like a crazy thing, and make a practical suggestion in reply. I might try that, to see how it works. As long as I can hear my own alarm clock through it.

My first kitty used to come and see if I was awake in the morning, and if I wasn't ready to get up, would snuggle under my arm. Morgan-cat is much much more demanding ("Get up. Now, worthless hoo-man servant."). Her mrrrreowwwl is darned hard to sleep through.

{{{{{{{{{{Carol}}}}}}}}}} I know how it is to go without sleep. Hugs and expressions of sympathy are heartwarming, and I am sorry you're going through it. But I'd also like to find a way to help you get more sleep! :)

Morgan sounds like a no-nonsense type kitty. :) My mother complains that Precious will meow and butt her in the side to get up and feed her. Ah, the joys of being owned by a cat . . .

hug hug hug!

I must email and/or phone you and whatnot.

And then break the news to the cat/alarm-clock that she doesn't get to go.
