I had one of those incredibly bad insomniac nights.  Didn't get to sleep
until about 4AM and then I had very weird dreams which kept waking me back
up.  I guess I *finally* fell into a deep sleep around 6:30.

Now I know I'm not supposed to but I gave Persia a bit of kibble around
2:30AM.  So when she started fussing at me, doing her tap me on the nose and
shoulder routine around 8:30, at first I just shushed her.  I was sooooo
tired and knew I could fall immediately back to sleep if she'd let me.  But
she wouldn't relent.  Finally jerked out of the last remnants of a deep
sleep I yelled, "NO!" and smacked the bed with my hand!  Scared my sweet
baby to death!

I feel so bad!  She was just doing what she does.  So of course I couldn't
get back to sleep after that.  I got up and she came running (she's a very
forgiving little girl).  I snuggled her and told her I'm sorry.  Then I got
her her morning helping of kibble.  All is well but I felt awful.  And I'm
still so tired yet there's no way I'll be able to get back to sleep now that
I've been walking around doing 'pet chores'.  (sigh)
