Somewhere there's a bed I can sleep in...

Y'all, I'm tired.

I worked very hard to get two loads of laundry done last night. I love a freshly made bed with sheets and comforter that smell April fresh. Apparently the cats do too. They were quite happy to snuggle with me last night. Or perhaps it was because I had the window open and the fan going and it was rather cool last night.

I also have jeans to wear again. I think they were all in the dirty laundry pile. And underwear. Hooray for clean underwear!

Another great thing about my apartment, beyond the stairwell entry ways, both front and back, that continually get propped open? Is that last night someone, directly below my window, was smoking a little mota and the fan was propelling it in to my apartment, right to where I was sitting on my only comfortable chair for now. I sat there for a while watching TV waiting for my clothes to dry. Then I had some Doritos.

I think I'm getting used to the train. I've slept (perhaps I use that term a little too loosely) without earplugs the past two nights. Last night was worse than the night before. I kept waking up and kicking the cats as I rolled over. 4:30 is a pretty vivid memory this morning. I don't like 4:30 much.

Paka lōlō - Hawaiian slang for "mota"
Chooming - Hawaiian slang for partaking of "mota".

Since you are a cat lover, I'll share this story.

When my husband & I were first Married we lived in a apt. bldg in downtown San Francisco. We just adopted a cat.(Charly) One day we got home from work to find fliers at the elevator saying a kitten had been found...it was charly. I went up three floors knocked on the door and when the person cracked the door open I was knocked over by the wave of "mota" fumes exiting her apt. She made me describe my little fur ball of cuteness before she would release him. When I took him back to our apt. he reeked all night and was acting quite strange...I was worried but after 'sleeping it off' he was fine! Thanks for the memory!

I hate waking up at 4:30 a.m...not my favorite time of the day. I, too, was awake at 4:30 this morning and apparently it is about the time of day when my cats REALLY want to cuddle, but normally I am asleep at 4:30 a.m., but as soon as they saw that I was awake at 4:30 they were all sweet and cuddly until I passed back out.

MP - firstly, I actually don't like Doritos. That might have been embellishment. Secondly, I spoke with you Before I got home. Actually, I sat in my car talking to you after I parked. That hike up the stairs is no joke, yo.

Candace - the cats were a little yipped up last night. Hmm... And that is a fantastic story. Thanks for that!

H - Hello! Thanks for stopping by. All I can say is thank God the younger cat is no longer a kitten. He would crawl on my face when I first got him and lick my nose right around 4:30 - because it was apparently time to eat in his mind.

Also Crash - chooming is such a great word.
