lack of sleep
so, i should be very well rested right now....
should be...
work closes at 6 on Sunday, not 9, so i came home, fed me and the dog, and since it was lightning and thunder put off the shower till morning....
ah.. bliss... i need to get up in the morning but not really early....
BOOM! flash BOOM!
now thunder and lightning dont bother me, but they bother the dog....
so nearly 100 pounds of brave and protective German Shepard Dog climbed into bed to protect mom by hiding under her pillow. (and stomping on me)
"i will save me you mom!"
stomp, whine, stomp.. "get OFF ME" off the bed,
BOOM! rattle
"WHIIIIIIIIIIIINE!" back on top of mom, stomp, paw, lie down.....
repeat
so i finally get the dog off me, the thunder settles down, and around 2 am the heat decides it needs to go on... and it has air in the pipes....
rattle rattle clank, clank rattle
"MOM, wake UP, the house is gonna explode!" paw paw climb...
so i had to get up, re pressurize the system,bleed air out...
"yea! i saved the house!"
sigh
head hits pillow.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
what? whr? huh? oh.. the alarm is going off....
turn off alarm.....
sadly the dog has a pavlovian conditioning thing going that the alarm goes off and he gets to go outside and pee.. and then he gets fed...
so there goes THAT nights sleep.
and i didnt even mention the cats....
for some reason the cats decided that my pillow was a GREAT place to settle that dominance issue "who owns mommy's head"
followed by the hallway to bed to window relay races.
sigh
oh yes, and when i went back upstairs thinking MAYBE i could get just a few more minutes of sleep? the neighborhood "can guy" (the guy who makes his living collecting cans for recycling) came around and kept knocking on the door, setting the dog off, until i came downstairs and told him to GO AWAY.
head, desk..
head , desk
