And the Day's Just Starting.....

Last nigght I went to bed at 230ish am, which is super early for me. :P After less than three and a half hours of sleep the night....that day, I fully expected to knock right out. I mean I'd fallen asleep trying to solve a Sudoku puzzle only a half hour earlier! But my brain wouldn't shut off. Maybe it was the music I was playing to go to sleep to, the Avatar soundtrack. Who knows. Anyway, half hour later (I know cuz my stereo sleep timer shut off), I finally fell asleep. I slept good too! But it was short lived. Less than four hours later, I woke up. >.< And the fun begins!

At like 630am, I was awake and trying to tell myself to go back to sleep. But I heard a cat crying really loudly. That has a way of waking up someone real fast. I knew it wasn't one of my babies, but it was a cat crying all the same. I looked outside to see if it was Prailine (the new stray we feed now), but he/she wasn't in sight. I knew it was him/her though, becasue he/she's done that before. Mom heard the cat too, so now we're both up early on a frelling Saturday.  She figured it was feeding time, which of course it was. I'm usually still up to give our babies and the strays breakfast at 6am. Tundra wasn't there, but Prailine was happy to eat. Meowed back at me when I said hello too! He/she's learning to trust us more and more.

Ten minutes later, I'm back in bed. Alarm isn't due to go off til 830am, and I'm hoping to get more sleep. Not that it helped. Again, the brain was awake and wouldn't let me sleep. I listned to Avatar til the sleep timer shut off after half an hour again. I checked the weather online via my cell phone. I thought about writing this blog. :P And of course ten-fifteen-ish minutes before the alarm went off, I finally fell asleep. >.< Ah well. I still feel rested. Anywho, got up and got ready, cuz I'm going with Daddy today. Everything is normal.....

Wrong. The SLIGHT winds (we're talking 10mph tops) and rain knocked over a big tree during the night! I think the only reason we didn't hear it over the wind and rain was because it was so bushy it had a muffled landing. But it did fall on a van, well the brushy part of it. Looks like it pulled up cement sidewalk too. Our street is completely blocked off now. So naturally I ran out and took pics!

And look! It's a crime scene. Mother Nature commited vandalism?

I'm not sure if the sidewalk damage was due to years of root growth or the timber effect.

And he/she ALWAYS wants that parking spot too.... Maybe he/she'll rethink it next time.

Lookeeloos....

Even Tundra (the other stray we feed) came out to see the commotion. :P

Surveying the damage with the lookeeloos. :P

And the day's just starting! Dad will be here soon and I think they're actually trying to do something outside... Time to shut the comp off and go take more pics maybe. :P
