And now, the Cat News
I must now kill Jordan. My reasons are thus:
1) After getting about four hours of sleep Sunday night, I stagger through Monday determined to stay up until at least 9:00 PM in order to get a good night's sleep.
2) I crash around 9:30 PM, secure in the knowledge that I'll sleep until at least 5:00 AM, and maybe even longer.
3) At 11:00 PM I am awoken with a stabbing pain in my right hand, which was outflung from my body. For reasons known only to himself, Jordan decided to swat it with claws extended. The little bugger flees from the bed, and I go back to sleep.
4) At 12:00 AM I am awoken by Jordan launching himself from my stomach, once again with all claws extended. After yelling at him, my sleep is now shattered, and I doze until 3:00 AM until I realize I'm hungry and thirsty. I get up to eat some dried apricot slices and drink some water.
5) At 5:00 AM I finally get back to sleep. The alarm goes off at 7:00 AM, at which point Jordan jumps on the bed and starts headbutting me for chin scritches.
He has no idea how close he is to becoming slippers. And I have no earthly idea how I managed my wordcount for today, especially as I lost words by taking out outline sections.
