This post first appeared on Monday, March 14, 2011. Each year we are blessed with new readers and I thought since MANY of the sentiments I expressed are still valid, it was worth sharing this again with a few changes beginning with the new photo at the top! Enjoy!!
I'm tired.
I'm feeling out-of-sorts, cranky and off schedule
(yep even being unemployed, I DO have a schedule thank you very much!).
I'm TIRED!
I can't concentrate.
I'm T-I-R-E-D!!
Many of us throughout the world follow
Daylight Saving Time. (No, I didn't forget the "s" it IS DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME). It was bad enough when the clocks were turned ahead an hour the last week of April, now the dreaded "
spring-ahead-an-hour-and-want-to-scream-at-everyone-around-you-because-you-are-TIRED-event" (for me at least), takes place in early March. Couldn't "they" (whoever
"they" ARE, leave well enough alone?)
While much of the rest of the country is preparing to tip-toe through their Spring tulips and are giggling at the prospect of longer days to come, those of us like myself who already don't get enough sleep,
(I am often up til the wee hours of the morning) are seething.
I'm tired.
I need my sleep.
Ironically while I am sitting here at 12:20am, which to me is 11:20pm..(mentally changing the time when I look at the clock is a little game I will be playing for at least the next week), all I can hear is the tick, tick, tick of the wall clock in front of me...it's ticking beginning to sound like "Ha...ha...ha... I... got.... you".
I'm TIRED!!
Don't mess with my clock, my routine, my internal alarm, don't mess with my sleep-deprived self!
You are probably asking "what in the heck does
ANY of this have to do with cats? Isn't this a
CAT BLOG for Pete's sake?"
Don't mess with me.
I told you... I'm TIRED!
I'm feeling out-of-sorts, cranky and off schedule.
"Cats don't like change
without their consent."

For the record....neither do I!
Now, if you'll kindly excuse me, I am going to bed. It's 1:15am or 12:15am or whatever it is and I'm TIRED!
