I’d already been awake for an hour before the alarm went off, and I tried to go back to sleep when he left the bedroom. Podrick pulled down one corner of the tapestry off the bedroom wall, and I was forced out of bed. I opened my WordPress to make a post, just before Shawshank left for work. He left, Podrick remained by the back door, and Pippin cuddled and used the distraction to curl up on my chest for a few minutes. Then, my body said NONE OF THIS IS RIGHT, and demanded the immediate removal of my coffee.
I was supposed to make content today. Instead, I went back to bed and tried to sleep, and Pod was good for a little while. He couldn’t stay like that for long, as the tapestry is too tempting, so I got up and took a hot shower. When I dried off, I went back to bed- and this time, I closed the bedroom door and slept for an hour or two.
With my body still 100% fucky, I took one more shower, went back to my cave, and slept until Shawshank‘s shift was almost over. I put pants on and returned to the land of the living, sitting on the couch and snuggling Pod when he came home. Tonight, we’re having burgers.
