She will know when a storm is approaching long before I do. When she hides behind the couch, I know a storm is on the way.

But he was not having the storms overnight. I tried everything. All he wants to do is pant, shake, and lick my face. He's such a weirdo.

Between that, and my husband thinking that I'd love to wake up to him watching "Scream," I'm going to have a rough day.

At least you will have some peace from the panting, shaking and licking. My dog sleeps with me and sometimes she will wake me in the middle of the night by licking my face.

His absolute sweetness and good nature make up for mornings like today. There's a picture of him in the summer photo contest. My husband took it.

Running out of coffee is almost as bad as running out of toilet paper.

often enough. Deleted e-mail again, which I don't do often enough. And yes, it is peaceful early in the morning.
Good morning everyone.

of our house fire.

I have been sleeping better recently--usually past 5 a.m.--but not this morning.
For several years after the fire I was waking up at 4:30 a.m. on the dot and unable to go back to sleep.
In the last year or so, even if I wake up at 4:30 a.m., I've been able to get back to sleep.
Not this morning.

I even take meds for it and haven't gotten to sleep before 1-2am for 2 weeks now.

I force myself to shut off the tv by that time because I have to get up by 6:30 every day.

In the past it would catch up with me and I'd finally go to bed at a normal time but not lately.

I don't take naps but have had a lot of stress lately. That's the only explanation I have but it's pissing me off.

Here it is 6:30 am West Coast Time and I have not been to bed yet. Of course, that diet coke I had at dinner time, probably did not help... My girlfriend asked me at 3am why I was not tired as yet. I told her I was wired. She said, From Coffee?? I told her no.. I am not drinking that any more. I tend to stick with Herbal tea, but earlier I opted for diet coke, and here I am still up. And maybe because...
I was just a bit excited to talk to her, after she got home from work...
