I was thinking, I don't do that.....but I realized I just put a call on hold to toss some peanuts to a blue jay outside who was standing on my patio rail screaming for them

"the look" and I know it's time to go to bed.

So I go to bed.

Othello lays beside me in bed and he sleeps through the night.

I love waking up next to him. I reach over and pet him and he purrs up a storm.

I don't mind going to bed on his schedule.

I'm actually awake at 7:30. And I like it.

And the cat adheres to this bedtime?

I think they have a dog but haven’t figured that out yet.

(My dumb phone autocorrected ‘bedtime’ to ‘moose’s pharmacy’. I mean, what the actual hell!)

Our dog had been slowly pushing his dinner from after 4:30 to 3:15. Sometimes I just give in. Does it really matter? I’m not sure.

for me to get off the computer. It took me a while to realize that it was because she wanted to sleep on the keyboard.
