Most of the time I truly enjoy living alone. There are times that I really hate it though. Like when there are giant bugs or spiders that need to be addressed, for example. Or when there is heavy lifting to do. Or when I can’t figure out what to wear. And of course when Magellan barfs all over the place. Obviously.
However, the worst is when it is almost 2am and I have to be awake in a few hours, but I’m feeling slightly ill from the unfortunate combination of having a migraine, the side effects of the migraine meds that don’t really help but that I take in an effort to feel proactive, and the giant pile of unwashed dishes in the sink (abandoned there due to the migraine) that smelled like delicious dinner 6 hours ago, but now just smells like a horrid mix of cat food and onions and fish and asparagus all mixed together. Add on top of that the very poor decision to watch 2 zombie movies in the last 3 days and an overactive imagination and you have an Up-All-Night Keem, which will soon turn into a Very-Short-Fused-and-Needlessly-Snappish Keem, which is sure to be a delight for everyone I encounter tomorrow.
Maybe tomorrow will get canceled and I can just sleep all day (once the sun comes up to protect me from the zombies, of course) and then we can just skip on over to Wednesday. Also maybe elves will come do those dishes for me. It could happen…

On the bright side, now you know what you need to do to stay awake if an alien virus DOES take over your body!
I hope you got some sleep.

You watched “Shaun of the Dead” yesterday, didn’t you? I did, and I’m not getting any sleep either but for a different very cute very small reason…who is still very small but a little less cute when he’s crying at 3am.
Just remember, if the zombie attack does come, get out of the metro area and out into the country. Unless they are zombie butterflies, in which case maybe the city is best after all.
Always helpful with the zombie survival tactics, that’s me.

Aw, that sucks. I hope you get to catch up on your sleep this week. I kinda feel the same about living alone… I usually like it, except when I can’t sleep or I want to make a big meal. I try to get my dog to advise me on what to wear, but I don’t trust his tastes. He used to eat his own poop, after all
Perhaps your cat is more refined?
