ORIGINAL: temptressofsouls It's over, its done, and it was freaking hilarious. Yeah. Last time I let us sleep in†, she rewarded me by poking my face repeatedly in her sleep. The line of reasoning apparently went along the lines of "pat... pat... hair?... hmm... smack... forehead?... hmm... something soft... poke?... hmm... face?... poke?... yup!... poke!... definitely face!... poke!" Fortunately, my eyes weren't the recipients of any of those pokes, so it was rather funny afterwards. That I slept through it with little more than a few muttered complaints is probably rather revealing of how... animated... she can be when she sleeps. When I find bruises in new places, I tend to have a good laugh. See, usually, she kicks while she sleeps. I always sleep with my back to her, or with one foot in a bracing position over the other, because I never get around to setting up that padded 2x4" down the middle. When she sleeps facing the wall, I will sometimes wake up from a loud bang that rattles the shelves and wakes the cat. By now, I've got the art of deflecting kicks in my sleep pretty well down, but whenever I find a new bruise in the morning, I know I still need to work on perfecting it. Of course, if we find a suitable addition to the household, I won't need that padded 2x4" ... Health, al-Aswad. † Used to be the other way around, but my sleep has improved.
