Still tired due to taking a cough medicine with an antihistamine before bed which put me to sleep heavily enough that I didn't wake up coughing*, which meant I slept the sleep of the drugged and didn't get real rest. I am willing to accept this, as it meant my airways got several hours' rest and as the doctor explained it to me once, my coughing is a result of reactive airways, which are irritated and make me cough, which irritates them more and makes me cough more, in a vicious circle that lasts for a few weeks after a cold. Any rest is my airways NOT getting irritated and getting a chance to heal.

Plus also humidifier. Yaay for humidifier!

I don't have actual content because my life is not much else other than SICK SICK FACEHUGGERKITTEN SICK and waking up having half-constructed a review of God Stalk in my sleep. so you are all forced to read through my wiffling on about sickness, if you haven't scrolled on by already. :)

* Although the face-hugger kitten woke me up at 5:30 anyway. Today he really wanted to burrow his face so close to mine that he was breathing the air I exhaled. Which meant that I was breathing the air he exhaled and it took about three seconds before I was ARGH GRARH OXYGEN PLZ as the pillow and his body effectively blocked the rest of my air intake.

Gah, now I really feel bad I mentioned it, if it haunts you to such an extent

A honest question from a person who has never owned a cat (I shared the ownership of two dogs, though): can you not close the door to your bedroom and make the cats (or cat) sleep outside?

XD It's a flattering review, honest! :D

I *could* throw the cats out of the bedroom, but they would probably sit in front of the door and yowl to be let in. :) The kitten will eventually be trained out of it, and I love having the cats on the bed because I can pet them when I wake up in the middle of the night.

The kitten is *also* running smack dab into old memories of the first cat we had when I was a kid who acted just like a teddy bear and let me snuggle her all night long. Once Sora's big enough that he doesn't feel like he'll be squished by me rolling over him (which is why he wants to sleep on the pillow, I think), he'll probably be much better. We'll see.

That's nice to hear, but it shouldn't HAUNT your sleep anyway ^^;

Thanks for clearing the cat question up. I think I'll remain with dogs, if I ever manage to find the time for one by myself (and without a garden).

Ah, hot cat breath. What a concept. I wish Gatz was a snuggler. Instead, he sleeps at the foot of the bed like a gentleman. How weird.

I love having cats in bed with me!

This morning he managed to finally find a position that wasn't bothering me too much, and it was very nice to snuggle. XD

Sorry to respond so late. I know the feeling -- I had a nasty cold that turned into bronchitis around the start of the month. Lotta coughing, and the more I coughed, the worse it got.

Took antibiotics, and it seems to have cleared up now.
