Afraid of the Dark

I've only been living alone for about seven months now. I have lived alone from time to time over the past few years, but this is the first time I actually live alone, alone. After living with all kinds of roommates and many different types of apartments and houses, I have gotten used to sleeping through a lot of different sounds. But it seems like now that I live alone I have gotten such a keen sense of hearing that everything startles me. I was trying to explain to Fernando that sometimes I hear something outside and I feel like I can hear it inside my apartment and it startles me. He just laughed, but I seriously feel like my hears play tricks on me at night.

Well I'm wide awake, but still extremely tired this morning, because I was sort of awake and the cat was purring and meowing at me to pet her and scratch and she kept walking all around in front of my face. I was have awake, and all of the sudden I heard a sound on the pillow. I looked to see if she was stepping on the pillow and I saw what I thought was person standing right next to the bed. My heart jumped and I opened my eyes wide and sat up, probably gasping at the same time...

It was her stupid tail. The angle I was laying and the height of her tale at that moment just happened to be strangely resembling a person. I'm so silly. Now, since I woke myself up with a jolt, I can't go back to sleep. It's goofy, yes. But to those who know me, it's not surprising that I freaked myself out once again. I guess I'll just watch t.v. for a little bit and then I'll get up and get going.
