I just want to sleep
August 31, 2001

Rain, rain, go away. It's been cloudy, rainy, and sunny today. It's raining right now. It's no fun sitting around the windows when it's raining. The fact that I don't like lightning is also a factor.

Daddy came home early today. Mommy went to the little restaurant on the corner and brought back some food. I could smell that it had cheese on it. I'm a kitty with a nose that knows cheese.

It's pretty late right now and I don't see any sign of anyone going to sleep. I've been trying to make noise by wiggling around in a paper bag to distract someone into maybe going to sleep, but it's not working. I would really like to go to sleep. I even tried to see if they would get upset with me for playing with one of my new loud toys. It's a ball with a loud bell inside. They didn't do anything except say that I was cute. Cute wasn't exactly what I was going for. I was trying to disrupt them enough to decide they are tired. I don't know what else to do shy of climbing into their laps or on their shoulders and going to sleep. I think that would give them a hint. Don't you think?

Earlier today I was thinking about when I was little. Not just when I was young, but when I was small. Those were the days when I could fit into the really small places that mommy and daddy didn't like me to go. Like behind the fridge. I'm only a little under nine pounds right now, but I can still get stuck if I try to just go on the side of the fridge. Back when I was little there used to be something blocking it so I couldn't even try. I was such a curious young kitty. I'm still curious, but I'm not continually poking my nose into things I shouldn't. Or licking things I shouldn't anymore, I've learned plenty of lessons.

Well diary, I think I'm going to go to sleep now. I think mommy is a prime target for a lap nap. I think she'll cave in first and go to sleep with a little help from me. Night Diary.
