I iz ded, and it was the catz wot killed me
The little bastards.
I do understand that, after being much subdued and quite inactive (due to having been vaccinated on Monday) Rambo had to catch up on his daily Being-A-Menace Quota, but did he really have to get started at 3 a.m.? My flat, while spacious enough for me and four Critters, doesn't really allow for locking them out of the bedroom. Besides, I hate closed doors with a vengeance, so keeping them closed wouldn't make for very sound sleep anyway. And I suppose the Critters' attempts at opening them wouldnt be conducive to sleeping well, either.
I tried to go back to sleep between 3 and 4, but I'd like to see the superhuman who is able to fall asleep, while two cats (Lucius and Rambo) are racing across the bed every 30 seconds or so. When they were done racing, Rambo proceeded to the kitchen in search of whichever objects lend themselves to playing -- unsurprisingly pretty much everything except for the furniture and appliances -- and when the sound of empty plastic bottles being chased across a tiled floor was becoming too much, I simply got up. At 4 a.m.
Needless to mention, around 6 a.m. every single cat was peacefully snoozing in a favourite spot, while I was trying to convince myself that I was feeling soooo much better after showering.
I think I'll just go home in the afternoon and have a nap.
Even if I had work to do, I doubt I'd make a good job of it, and since I don't have any... well, why should I try to stay awake while sitting at my desk? The only pro argument for going back to work after lunch break would be my office mate's continued absence, which I'm enjoying; I'm confident, though, that I'll enjoy a nap at home a *lot* more. Also, I need to take that nap in order to be awake beyond 8 p.m. -- if I fall asleep that early, I'll wake up at 3 a.m. tomorrow even without crazy Critters, and I don't want to fuck up my sleeping pattern. (Which is already fucked-up enough, thank you very much)
I am, of course, going to leave a review on Amazon for "Thoroughly Modern Monsters", but only once I've actually finished the book. For now, all I can say is that I'm enjoying it enormously, although it's short stories, of which I'm not usually a fan. (I prefer bricks with at least 600 pages, the more the better) And I'm hugely impressed by the sheer talent, and proud to say that some of these incredibly gifted writers are my friends :-)
