ladynorbertThought some of you might be interested to know that I almost had a heart attack this morning.
I fell asleep on the sofa while Kevin was doing something on his computer. Around 4 am, I woke up and dragged myself to bed; he shortly followed. We lay there talking quietly for a few minutes, then both started to drift off. We were both lying on our sides, facing toward each other.
I was in that hazy not-awake, not-asleep place when something grabbed my arm and I screamed, jolting fully awake.
Honestly, I thought it was a human hand grabbing me. But no, it was Maddy, jumping from the nightstand to my arm as she made her way across the bed to potentially snuggle with Daddy. I should point out that had this been Random, I would have been more annoyed than frightened, because Random is heavy enough that I could never have mistaken him for a person's hand. But Maddy only weighs around six pounds; we don't call her "teeny tiny kitty" for nothing.
In hindsight it's funny. At the time, I was severely freaked out and actually shook for several minutes. Though to be fair, I may possibly have been starting to dream about Link and the Redeads, which would account for the fear. ;)
