Things I Do Not Like to be Woken Up By, a list
It's been a while since I made a list, hasn't it? After last night, I think one is required. Ahem.
Things I Do Not Like to be Woken Up By, a list by slr2moons--based on personal experience.
1. A cat verking up a hairball.
2. A dream I realize is too good to be true.
3. The police knocking on my neighbor's door.
4. Phone call in the middle of the night.
5. My house filled with strangers (to me) that my grandmother called when she feared she was having a heart attack, rather than asking me.
6. A scorpion sting.
7. Neighbors screaming, for whatever reason. (Exuberant gaming, a fight, sex, all three...) :P
8. Drunk idiots drag racing down the parking lot.
9. Death of a family member. (See also #4.)
10. The cool feeling of a quarter-sized stink bug brushing my cheek as it walks across my pillow, almost touching my lips.
It only took me about a second and a half to realize that it was not soft and thus not a cat or myself, and that it was moving and thus not a pen, book, or phone cord.
Thirty seconds later, the bug was down the toilet, I had a new covering on my pillow, and I was mentally composing this list as I tried to go back to sleep. Ugh.
