give it a rest


True confessions: sometimes I am envious of my cats. They spend 80% of their days sleeping (or something like that).
I have been so overwhelmed with school this semester. I feel like I am always reading. I get up early to read, I stay up late to read, and in between I write papers. I know, it's college, it's all part and parcel. But seriously, exhaustion sucks. How long can a person maintain that kind of routine?
 The other day I was studying in bed (that was my first mistake) and Houston was sprawled out at the foot of the bed. I'm pretty sure I just stared at him for five minutes, wishing I could just shut my eyes for a few moments. So, I followed suit: thirty glorious minutes of sleep. Naps are the cure for exhaustion.

Cats are geniuses. And anti-social. But I think those things go hand-in-hand.

  1. pregnancy has reduced me to the sleeping habits of a cat. i nap multiple times a day, and when i'm not napping i'm planning when/where i'll take my next nap. i pretty much only wake up to eat and clean myself. and work, but you know. whatever.
