4 Bells

There's a reason for everything.

I woke up around 3 A.M. and have not been able to fall back asleep. My hips are bugging me and I could not find a comfy position. Just as I was debating on toughing it out or moving to the couch (and the tv), Suvi came pounding up the stairs. She rarely wakes up in the night, but when she does, she doesn't like to use the bathroom alone. She drank a little water and sat down to do her business. In a panicky voice she said, "My throat feels weird." 

Ah yes, this was mother's intuition keeping me awake. I had to be available for the 4 A.M. puker. Poor little Presh. I am camping on the couch in case she needs me. And hoping to get sleepy again soon...
