Bob got up very early this morning so he could pick up a friend to play
golf. I don't really remember what time it was, but his alarm went off at
something like 5:30. I went back to sleep; I remember hearing the shower
running, then hearing him dry his hair, and I remember him kissing me
goodbye, but then when my alarm went off I apparently just kept reaching
over and hitting the snooze button.
Hitting it for over an hour, over and over again, because by the time I
actually woke up and looked at the clock, it was 7:00. I generally get
up at 6:30, the alarm having gone off for the first time at 6:00, or actually,
6:03--if it's 6:03, then I can hit the snooze bar three times before getting
out of bed at 6:30 exactly.
So this morning it was 7:00 insted of 6:30, but I wasn't really worried,
because I have a lot of email reading and piddling around time built in.
Getting up a half hour late just meant that I couldn't spend as much time messing
around, it didn't mean that I'd be late to work or anything.
And I didn't end up actually getting up at 7:00, anyway, because Pyewacket
wanted to cuddle.
In the mornings she will come up and get on Bob's pillow, usually, and then
drape herself across his shoulder and throat so her head is right next
to his, then purr and purr so loudly that sometimes it wakes me up. Very
rarely, and always when Bob is gone, she'll try to do it with me, and she
did this morning, getting up on my pillow, then arranging herself so that her
head and front paws were over my shoulder. It just wasn't the same, though,
apparently, because she only stayed that way a minute or so, even though I petted her
and encouraged her to stay.
She then tried sitting on my chest, and that seemed to suit her a little better,
but that wasn't quite right, either. She just missed Bob.
