So This is What 3:45 A.M. Looks Like!

So what were you doing at 1:00 am? What were you doing at 2:45 am? How about 3:45 am, were you sleeping soundly?  Good for you!  I wasn't!  Am I awake right now? Or am I sleep walking? I think I'm sleep walking! 

I don't know why but it's harder on me to be getting up in a startled manner, calm down to go back to sleep, then get up, then back to bed, then get up AGAIN, then it is to simply stay up!  I think it's the added anxiety of being awakened so many times. Interrupted sleep is not restful at all!

Why was I up so much?  My poor little Simmie was not feeling well. It was quite the night.  I didn't have to check on Piper on her first few nights with us back when Brad first found her and brought her home as much as I had to check on Simon last night. I would no more than get him settled down and myself settled down only to be startled awake by his whining and barking. 

There I was outside our building at literally all hours of the night, muttering to myself, "so this is what 3:45 am looks like outside". By the time dawn's early light broke I decided I was done trying to go back to bed, just stay up.  All pets were up and at it early!  Thankfully Simon has improved as the day has gone on. Whew! Thank goodness for Pepto!

This is slightly funny! It wasn't at 3:45 am but now it's a tiny bit funny to me.  When taking Simon out at the lovely time of 3:45 in the morning as I turned to lock the door behind us I dropped his leash. For some reason I was struggling to get the door to lock(likely due to my sleep deprivation) it took me a second to lock the door, well Simon was not waiting. He was gone! He took off hotfooting it to the elevator.  There I am half dazed literally running down the hall to catch up with him.

I got through the first half of my day without too much issue. By the time mid-afternoon arrived I was considering becoming a coffee drinker! I've never been a coffee drinker only the occasional sip of Brad's or the seasonal sampling of something new at Starbucks. Otherwise coffee isn't for me. 

I'll be hitting the hay early that's for sure! I know there will be many more nights like last night especially once we add a human kid to this crazy mix! Oh well, I'm overall happy to be able to take care of anyone in the household needing to be taken care of.  I'll gladly suffer through lost sleep!  No biggie!
