the sleepless night

i could not sleep for wondering if melrose place is canceled. try as i might, i tossed and turned and thought of cape cod waves crashing on the shore but i could not get melrose place out of my mind. finally i was forced to give in to my insatiable desire for knowledge and fire up the trusty iphone (which sleeps next to me at all times for such emergency situations :)

gasp... no connection... i pressed refresh over and over in desperation. not a sausage! i was forced to change beds to be closer to the thing that makes the internet work. and hey presto!! i was redirected to some site called cw (which i thought was the country/western channel...) but there was no sign of my show!! in desperation i checked buzzsugar and phew! THERE i found my answer - it's back 9 march! ahhhh now i could drift peacefully off to sleep...

enter Mr Bumps. the largest cat on earth. a 22 pound ginger tom, who weighed 6 pounds when we got him from the animal shelter : also the loudest purrer on earth. as in the whole room vibrates when he purrs. and this morning he was in the mood to cuddle. and purr loudly. and bump my face really really hard and run his tartared fishy teeth down my cheek to claim me as his (i like it honestly, it's how he got his name:) and worst of all, knead me (i wonder if he does this because i remind him of his mother...? do i really feel like a 8 nippled, postpartum, engorged cat's stomach...? sigh, i must do :(

finally Friday came in. and it was all over. a screeching boxing match broke out (i was too tired to watch) and the cats left to chase each other around the house, hiding around corners and pouncing on each other (it's so fun to watch - if you're not dog tired...) and i fell back to sleep.

so that's today's excuse for being achey and sleep deprived :)
