It took him a few days, but Shaun slept in the bedroom again for the first time last night since we lost Sindar (that is where she lived since she wasn't a huge fan of the other cats). I think the room needed to be more different than just Sindar's absence, though, because he brought Cub with him. It went ok. Cub behaved because he's a good boy. He woke up barking just once because of some animal noise outside; otherwise, I think I pretty much slept through the night.
I feel like I have been catching up on sleep this week. It wasn't easy to get enough rest with Sin waking us up several times in the night. Needless to say I slept super late today. Unfortunately, I woke up to having missed 2 frantic texts and a call from my dad by several hours - which is unusual because he is the definition of "stays to himself." It appears that someone shot their little chihuahua and that he's not going to make it. I talked to Dad and Lisa and it sounds like it wouldn't have been able to be saved due to the location of the wound.
I feel like shit for not getting the call so I've changed my "Do Not Disturb" settings. I had it where my phone went on "Do Not Disturb" if I placed it face down - which I did last night, but also if someone called more than once it was supposed to let the call through. Dad, however, didn't call me more than once. He doesn't like to bother anyone. So I've changed my settings to accommodate that. I definitely want to be reachable if I'm needed.
So that's how the day has started. I guess I'm off to see what else it throws at me.
Later, friends.
