So my question is this: if I sleep away each day, am I sleeping through life, or is sleep my life? Either way, I wake up and my kitty has grown and achieved new things.
As you can tell, Heidi's arrival three months ago really added joy to my waking life! I'm a little worried about her appointment next month to be spayed. I know it's just routine, but not for her!! Anyway, as I gaze at her playing in the recycle-trash bag next to me, I know I would be heartbroken if anything bad were to happen! She makes me smile and laugh when I'm too tired to do much else. I guess maybe her middle name would more appropriately be "Blessing"!
The thoughts of a chronically exhausted young woman. When you're too tired to move, you tend to do a lot of thinking.

Job Experience:
Able to save messages to folder in Juno format (only done this once)

Able to thoroughly investigate unusual (and usual) noises
Able to make unusual (and usual) noises
Able to use my own body as a paperweight (and look very serious doing so)
Able to keep up with a cursor moving quickly on a computer monitor
Able to verify that shredded documents are indeed thoroughly shredded (by rolling in them)
Able to turn on and off the touch lamp on Sarah's headboard bookcase (and can do so at 3:00am when Sarah is trying to sleep)
Able to check out curious objects, especially on the inside of paper and plastic bags
Able to assist in compacting recycle paper products (puts whole self into this project)
Able to imitate a fainting goat without going stiff, and still look quite fetching and adorable
Able to protect Oma from her electric razor by hitting it with my paw with a very serious "don't ever do that again" look on my face
Able to "stand pretty" on my back legs and tap Oma's hand with one or both front paws in order to receive "treats"
Able to inspect all pages exiting the printer (very good at this and consider it my responsibility)
Able to jump 3-4 feet into the air, catch a 2" fur covered mouse and land on all fours! (I love practicing this activity and receive many compliments for this skill!)
Has done intensive research of the substance "catnip" (Nepeta cataria), finding it pleasantly intoxicating, yet not addictive (preferred scent: "Sarah's old shoes", a slightly more addictive odor)
Able to bring joy to my family by looking silly, being cute and mostly staying out of trouble
Comments: I am particularly interested in items that are "Under" other objects, and enjoy pursuing them. I am not comfortable about large shoes and am afraid of Oma's electric razor and it's case, black shoes and some other dark colored objects. Though some people call me timid, I am quite friendly and am very tolerant and trusting. I am very serious about my job and do take my responsibilities seriously!
