6 o'clock AM

Mike and I got a companion for Catpernicus the other day. We named her Frost Bite because she was left out in the cold this winter and about half of each ear froze off. It is very sad. Anyway, the plan was to keep Catpernicus and Frost Bite separated for the first week, but Frost Bite really was quite sick of the room and closet that we had set up as her safe room. So, this weekend we have allowed Frost Bite and Catpernicus to begin getting to know each other. They aren't super fond of each other. Catpernicus has finally stopped hissing every time Frost Bite enters the room, as long as they remain at least 2 feet apart. But for the most part they try to stay in different rooms. Anyway, somehow Frost Bite snuck into our room last night, and at about 5:45 started crying to get out. Mike got up to let her out, he wanted to avoid litter box mishaps, and then stayed up for a bit. I tried to sleep for another 15 minutes or so, but it just wasn't happening, so I was up at 6 o'clock AM on a Sunday morning. It has been kind of nice. I've done some yoga, listened one more time to the songs we are going to do on the praise team this morning, drunk a couple glasses of water, and now I'm blogging! All before my alarm would have even gone off!!! (Sorry to those who really dislike multiple exclamation points. This morning I just have no other way to describe my excitement.) While I'm a far cry from saying that maybe I'll get up early every day, I must admit I kind of like this. I've gotten to watch it get light outside! Its all good stuff. But it is now 6:59, so it is time to start my normal day. It has to be a good day after this good of a start!
