Havin’ A Hoppin’ Morning
Home Life, Paw Prints - 2 Comments » - Posted on September, 1 at 7:27 am
Here lately I’ve been having a hard time getting up and moving in the mornings. Part of me just doesn’t want to go in to work here lately, so I really drag my feet in the mornings when I’m getting ready. I take a shower in the morning because I like starting the day off clean and fresh, but also because it’s a good way to wake me up. Usually. Lately though I’ve been lingering in the shower and it’s been taking longer to wake up that way as well.
Well today my kitties decided to change that for me. I’m not really sure who the culprit was, but I’m leaning towards Ichigo since he was hanging out by the bathroom this morning and came scurrying in as soon as I opened the door and started investigating the room.
Picture this: it’s early in the morning, you’re still half-asleep and wondering if you really have to go into work that day, but damn does the shower feel good. You reach for the shampoo when suddenly something dark and about the size of your palm starts jumping around in the shower with you, collides into your legs and keeps hopping all over the place.
Nothing like having a live desert toad in your shower jumping around to really wake you up!
I am sad to say I let out a shriek at first, not knowing what was going on, but eventually I realized what had gotten into my shower with me.
It wasn’t funny then, admittedly, but now it most definitely is.

Oh wow. Nothing like kitty’s prey to wake you up in the morning! Spooky has a horrible habit of bringing me live mice.
I didn’t know you’d gotten another kitty. Perhaps I should try reading Kitty Kitty more often.
It goes in cycles. I have trouble at times falling asleep and because of that I can’t get up.
I am finding I have to wind down earlier, no electronics, no reading, and just relax. When I sleep well, getting up and moving isn’t a real problem.
