So I wake up at 2am.
Not so unusual. I do that alot.
What was different this time?
I had sleep walked into my closet.
No lie.
I have never sleep walked in my ENTIRE life.
And I have to say it scared the crap out of me.
And then I realized I had a headache.
A really badfreakinscarymakeyouwanttothrowup kind of headache.
The kind where you want to remove your head from the shoulders up and cast it into the fiery pits of hell because anything would be better than feeling the stabbing of thousands of needles in your eyes and your neck and your ears.
So I stumbled downstairs with Motrin and my lavendar rice pillow thingy in hand. Threw it in the microwave, swilled the Motrin, felt nauseous even BEFORE the pillow heated up and collapsed on the living room sofa in a fetal whimpering heap.
And then he appeared.
My big,furry savior
He sniffed my feet, my face and gave me a quick "kiss" of solace on my cheek and promptly plopped down by my head and didn't move the whole night, except to follow me to the kitchen (FIVE times) when I had to nuke my lavendar pillow to press on my eyelids and neck.
At daybreak, he heard something that he didn't like. And I saw him do something I had never seen him do before.
He launched himself up against the side windows of the front door and gave a very low guttural "gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
Paced...came back to me on the sofa. Turned and laid down by my head and gave one more snort at the door.
Have I mentioned lately that I love this dog?
The BEST DOG EVER.

How terrible that you would feel so sick! Do you often wake up with headaches? Poor Lis! Sounds like you have a true and loyal friend, further evidence of your excellent parenting skills!
Happy Sunday!
I've woken up several times in my closet. Sleep walking, sleep talking. Boy am I a fun date!
Hope you're feeling better soon Li.
