I Should be Sleeping

I had designs on getting to bed early tonight, seen as though school starts back up on Wednesday and I am going to need to have adjusted my rhythm back to normal by then. I wasn't ready when Andrew was. I wanted to check the status of my eBay auctions, blow out the candles, and drink a little more water before going to sleep. Still not tired, I decided I would pick my book back up (I'm working on Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman, in case you haven't been following my last few entries). On my way to bed I noticed that Darwin was still up so I thought I'd take her out of her cage and snuggle with her while I read. The iguana had absolutely no intentions on remaining still. She crawled down to the foot of the bed and proceeded to try and ingest the comforter. I went to the fridge to retrieve some baby spinach and I hand it to fed her. When she had her fill of that she resumed her attempts to consume the blanket. I brought her some mixed veggies and she ate a little, followed some collard greens. Darwin began to lose interest in food so she crawled on top of Andrew. He was sleeping on his stomach, as usual. Rand normally sleeps on top of him and tonight was no exception. I sensed a Kodak moment coming on so I ran to get my camera off the printer dock. Here are the resulting images.

The iguana nibbles on some collards and the cat clearly feels like her space is being encroached upon.

I wonder how Andrew manages to sleep with all of this activity going on?

"What do you think you're looking at?" asks Darwin. "I donno, I've been trying to figure that out." Replies Rand.

I'll just ignore her and maybe she'll go away.

Rand nestled into the small of Andrew's back.

Rand thinks, "I know she's around here somewhere." Um yeah, try looking behind the pillow where her tail is sticking out. Silly kitty.
