Sandy's ponderings

Cat and mouse.

Well, unlike a new friend who is doing battle with a REAL mouse, my cat and mouse is the battle of trying to sleep. I know there are others who are having even worse troubles than me with this issue and to them I send hugs and prayers. For my ponderings here I am just desiring to reflect on how much effect on my life poor sleep can have (a lot I suspect.)

Last night's cat and mouse started off by going to bed too late once again (after midnight) with the feeling I did not get done stuff I wanted to. Then the next cat and mouse event was a little "mouse" coming to climb in bed with me. Now this little mouse is really a petite 2 1/2 year old, but since she insists on sleeping sideways with her feet in my face, lol...well, kind of becomes a problem for good sleep! Then add to this list the usual conflicts of a trip to the bathroom, the puppy rattling her crate, and some who knows what else noises that waken me. Oh, and then the dreams...on nights like these I also have "busy" dreams. Dreams where I am running here and there doing this and that wierd stuff...exhausting.

The good news? Roy and I are slipping away to lunch today together (thanks mom and dad for babysitting) before the semester starts and he is teaching every day during lunch time. He has also planned we make a trip to Blue Moon Music to take his vintage Gibson in for a bit more refurbishing. I know he's got his heart set on getting a bass amp too. He wants to get me inspired to get back to playing with him...but that's another post.
