I've been sleeping poorly lately. Spodgumine, our old, frail cat has been waking me earlier and earlier for food, and it's such a struggle to keep weight on her that I've been trying to feed her whenever she's hungry. Unfortunately, I think this has started to pass into the territory of cats taking advantage of me when I'm sleepy. Plus, they can go back to sleep, and sleep most of the day. It feels like I just get back to sleep and then the alarm goes off, which is another change; I'm usually up on my own before the alarm, but lately it's been jolting me out of sleep with the (no longer reliable) NPR, and I wake up tired and grumpy. I desperately want time to sleep in and not worry about clocks, but that won't be for some time.
