i'm going to kill my cat

Amaya's driving me nuts. lately she keeps waking me up, several times, in the middle of the night. i know, i know, i haven't been home, or home alone, in a while, but still... and i know, i know, she loves me and her waking me up is all sweet and adorable-- she's licking my head; she's purring next to my ear; she's rubbing up against me. yes, adorable and sweet. but i'm sleepy! and once i'm up it's hard for me to get back to sleep after her love-fest.

i know, she's sad i haven't been home many nights. and i know, that on those nights when i am at home, i may not be sleeping alone. (yeah, i've sorta been seeing someone. and yeah, i'm enjoying it immensely. and yeah, i'm not going to talk about it here right now. and yeah, yeah, yeah.)

but that doesn't excuse the fact that her love-in-the-night-moments are driving me nuts! i've shut her in her room several times lately because she keeps constantly loving me. it's oh-so-cute and adorable and i've had it!

and the biggest thing is, this is before my big road trip with jessie when she'll be alone for four whole nights. i can only imagine how much this will increase once i'm back. but i do like the idea of four nights without the cat waking me every five minutes. we'll just have to make sure jessie knows not to lick my head or purr in my ear next week.
