Tommy woke me up many times during the night. It seemed like
it was about every half hour starting at 3:30. I’m not sure if she was cold,
hungry, in need of attention, or wondering why I was sleeping on top of the bed
in sweats. (I was so tired I just flopped on top of the bed and knew that if
I’d gone under the covers I’d be too hot.)
I finally gave up at 6:30 and got Tommy’s breakfast ready for
her. While she ate, I caught up on blogs
and paperwork. At one point I came out to check on her and found her sitting by
the bathroom door near the study. I guess that she wanted to be close by when I
left the study, but didn’t want to actually come in and watch.
I spent some time petting Tommy and giving her the attention
that she was seeking. When she let me
know that she was ready to nap, I went back and work. Once I had the blogs done
I went back out in to the living room and saw her curled up on her rug. I
quietly retreated back into the study so she could sleep since I was sure that
she had been up most of the night.
It was such a windy day, and when Tommy woke up she was
intrigued by everything that went flying by the balcony. As she sat in her bed,
I knew that it was time to add the rolled up towel to the balcony door track to
provide a little more insulation. Tommy watched as I rolled and rerolled the
towel. After I pushed it into the track,
Tommy saw something on the balcony and rolled the towel back out so either she
could get a better view or provide an opening for whatever minute item was out
there. When she moved back to the door, I put the towel back in place. I
wondered how often we would be rolling and unrolling the towel.
Tommy spent much of the late morning and early afternoon
looking out the balcony door and window. She was always on the lookout for
anything that might blow onto the balcony and would try to chase it even if
there was a thick wall of glass between them. When she finally tired of that
she went to her bungalow in the bedroom for her afternoon nap.
She came back rather crabby, so I went into the study to work
on the blogs. Tommy jumped up on the desk and curled up in the crook of my arm
which also caused her butt to rest on the keyboard. Below is her contribution
to the blog.

After her exhausting work, she jumped down and let me
continue with my work. She went to her bungalow for her late afternoon nap only
to return when she was hungry. Fortunately I had already gotten her dinner out
of the refrigerator and it had lost its chill. After eating dinner, Tommy went
back to the bungalow for her early evening nap. I guess all that looking out of
the windows today had been exhausting.
I was going out to meet some friends, so I said good bye to
Tommy. When I returned, she had moved to her bed in the living room, so she
could see when I came home (which was about an hour to minutes after I left).
She came running up to greet me and then headed right back to bed. I guess all the keeping watch, blogging, and
waiting up had been very tiring. I went to bed and wondered when Tommy would
regain her energy. With my luck she’d be up most of the night either playing in
the living room or waking me up.
