I have a headache. Meow.

All the poor sleep is taking its toll. I slept okay last night, but one night of decent sleep does not make up for two weeks+ of either going to bed stupidly late or (as was the case on Wednesday) being kept up all night by a howling dog.

So now I have a headache (I repeat: meow) and I am hitting the hay early.

Peggy is in her normal crate downstairs until I am feeling up to putting up with another night of banshee shrieking while she gets used to the new normal. I used duct tape to "tie" together the parts where she was dismantling it, and it seems to be holding up so far! The duct tape is wrapped tightly enough that she hasn't figured out how to tear it. 

I'm hoping I can reset my sleep enough tonight. I haven't heard back from my lovely car mechanic yet about when I should bring the car for repairs this weekend, so I'm planning on getting up early (contingent on sleeping reasonably well) and taking Peggy for a nice long romp in the fields. It's been very warm this week, so going early is a much better plan if we want to keep cool.
