I was awake because even though I have today off from work, I forgot and my alarm went off anyway! I set it at 5:30 even though I don't get up right away, 'cause I hit snooze like 5 times. So I could hear that it was raining like nuts, and notice that my cat had once again taken the middle of the bed, and most of the covers. Brat kitty.
What was I doing at 5am? I was being licked awake by my ferret! Someone forgot to put her up when we went to bed, and she let me know. Nothing like having your eyelids licked when you are sound asleep.
