Totally off subject - I've been getting up earlier and earlier this days and it bugs me to no end. I can't sleep... the last two mornings I was up at 4 AM, and now this morning again at 3:45 AM.

My cat scratches at the window shade until I wake up and feed her. I have a water squirt gun I use to try and stop her, but she keeps at it and keeps coming back to scratching at the shade until I get up. It's frustrating.

And I am peri-menopause which causes me not to sleep, which is also frustrating. And because I am up so early, I go to bed earlier. Last night I was in bed by 7:30 PM!

This is all just SO wrong.... I've got to force myself to stay up later so I can sleep later... I even took Advil PM last night, but it didn't help me to sleep in - it only helped me to fall asleep.

ARGH! Getting older as a woman SUCKS.
