Random Thought for Thursday 11/1/12

Two weeks ago, I claimed to have cured insomnia (well, at least for me) by listening to the local 24 hour news channel repeat its broadcast on the half hour every half hour.

And now I've found a second cure (well, at least for me) as Murder's new routine is to jump into bed at some random hour in the morning and to whine until I acknowledge her presence and begin to pet her.  Then she finally settles down and the purr that emits lulls me back to sleep -- until it's time to get ready for work (and since I work from home, that's 90 seconds prior to time to sign in!).

[There is a slight chance that her whine is an attempt to get me out of bed so that she can sleep in the warm spot left behind and the loud purr that emits might just mean that her sinuses are clogged -- but I'll choose to "spin" it my way.]

And speaking of "sleep" and "animals", here's my Amazing Race Aside from this past week's episode, with three things I learned:

1.)  Thing ONE:  that animal over which everyone stepped in Bangladesh was just deeply asleep and not dead, right?
2.)  Thing TWO:  you know you are in a third world country when the money provided you for the leg is just one dollar.
3.)  Thing THREE:  Every challenge so far this season has somehow related to the task of running a Monster Truck event, which is just uncanny!
