Sleep... Cats... and Nose-Bleeds....

Been back from work now for just over an hour and so far just relaxed and done... nothing.

I spent a lot of my time jamming my hands between cages (which can hurt a lot by the 15th time) and recently this week I've been suffering from random nose-bleeds. I had two of them during my shift today. Everyone's immediate response was "have you banged it on something?"

I found out that one of the guys working there (mid-40's) has never had a nose-bleed in his life. Turns out he's never had a stomach ache, ear ache, etc either. I was beginning to suspect that he was a bit like Bruce Willis in Unbreakable, until he said that he suffers from constant migranes and ironically had some paracetemol in his hand. Guess it's just how everything balances out?!? On the plus-side, I got to have about 30 mins away from working - which was paid. BONUS!!!

They had me working on the pet food line again. I used to have a cat which my good friend Emma spotted whilst we were lost in the middle of no-where. We rescued him and she named him Ben. He's quite young and looks a bit like 'Felix' from the Felix cat-food ads. My dad let Ben out about 3 weeks ago and he's not yet returned - which now means that I'm very unlikely to ever see him again. I was looking at the picture of Felix on the food packaging, and I miss him. He was great - really friendly and loved hugs (just like his owner, lol). He loved slinky's too! We'd spend ages at night just playing with a slinky it was fantastic. He'd always curl up whilst I watched TV, but strangely enough when Stargate: SG-1 was on - he'd actually watch it. I dunno why it was only that one that he paid attention to - maybe he just liked the word "Jaffa" aswell?!?

But yeah, I'm gonna miss him. For the last 3 weeks when I've not been working I've been out looking for him, but seen no sign of him so doubt I ever will. I've stopped going out on searches for him, but usually when I return home from work or leave for work/theatre rehearsals, then I always keep a look out for him - just incase...


But life moves on and I just hope that he's in a good place - whether that be by being taken in by someone else who'll look after him or if he's chillin with the Big Dude upstairs.

But for now I must go to bed to sleep because I have my friend Chris coming over later who I hardly ever really get chance to see - and then afterwards I've got yet another 11pm-8am shift at Tesco. Must... sleeeeeep. Sleep is sooooooo good - and very much under-rated. I wish it were permanent.

Okay... not THAT permanent!
