While I was looking thru my bank statemeent I waw a coupon for a Buy One get One Free Slurpee offer at the local 7-11.
I love Slurpees. During the warm weather there is nothing like getting a brain freeze while you are pulling out of the parkig lot of the local 7-11.
"Officer, I just took a sip of my Sour Watermelon Slurpee and got a brain freeze. I wasn't paying attention to my speed!"
Anyway, the other kind of 'slurpee' is the one that kept me up last night. I have been keeping late hours and that is about 50% of the problem. The offensive 'slurpee' was none other than the Edster.
thuuupppp, thuuuppp, thhhuuuppp........
The weather has turned to the cooler side, Ed comes to bed while I read for a little face book time. He approaches, chrips and rubs his face all over the corver of my book. I stop, give him a little scritch and when he decides to leave, he goes. I know that he will be back-As I said, now that the cooler evenings are coming I know I'll be seeing more of him hanging around the bed.
THe cooler weater also makes me sleep lighter. I know that during the night I will wake up with the 10 gallon cat on top of me, next to me or pinning down my legs whil I dream. It's O.K., a momentary adjustment or a slight swim up from the sleep, an escape from a dream. We get to where we want to be and it's back to slumber-land.
For some reason last night was one of those nights where I tossed and turned-no sleep for me, I read, kicked, went to the bathroom, had a drink, tossed, rolled, tossed some more, I adjusted the pillow, the blankies, my position and nothing.....
I finally did stop and settle in to hear-
thuuupppp, thuuuppp, thhhuuuppp........
I popped the light on and there he his, Giving himself a bath.
thuuupppp, thuuuppp, thhhuuuppp........
I figured that the slight movement of the bed would put me to sleep...
thuuupppp, thuuuppp, thhhuuuppp........
I am comfy and
thuuupppp, thuuuppp, thhhuuuppp........
The light goes on and he stops, Mid thuuupppp and I get the stink eye,
"Hey buddie, I am taking some personal grooming time here!
thuuupppp, thuuuppp, thhhuuuppp........
Now, I can't get comfy because someone else has decided to move/adjust themesleves so they can thuuupppp the other side of their body.
Those minute movements, to get to that toe, belly, spot on his back are really getting to me. I turn the light on again and get the same stink eye. "Look Buddy, this is for your benenfit too!, You want me to look good, eh?" A second later it's thuuupppp, thuuuppp, thhhuuuppp........again.
After what seems like an eternity, only about 20 minutes by the red numbers dancing in the darkness across the room I finally hear a sigh of a contented cat.
A few seconds later the silence starts to stretch and I know that he is done and now I can go sleep.
I wonder what a cat hair 'slurpee' tastes like? THis sets me on a whole other train of thinking and I toss my self onto my side.
I reach up and snap on the light, because now I am really awake.
I just have to be really quiet now.
The cat is asleep.:rolleyes:
