It was quite the night, and there's a photo to prove it. [View all]

I've in no way recovered from Nov 5. In fact, I think my stress level goes up, every day. My only respite is at night because the sleep medication I was prescribed REALLY WORKS!!

But I digress. Normally at night I'll have Merlin and Gryff climb up and cuddle. Some nights Arthur joins them but Madoc shuns the cuddle puddle. Last night I had ALL FOUR BOYS curl up on the bed. Yesterday had the added agro of another delay in replacing the broken electrical connection in the turn signal lever, which raised my stress another couple of notches. The boys probably knew that mom needed some extra positive kid cat energy.

The only reason Gryff isn't in this photo is that he was on the other side of me. He's not big in to sharing his mom with all three brothers so if he stays apart from the others, he figures he has me to himself.

Just seeing Merlin FINALLY being accepted by Madoc was wonderful. Before last night Madoc would have left the bed as soon as Merlin showed up.
