I was awake from 4:30 to 8:45 this morning. It wasn't pleasant.
Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

I hope that storm passes through soon. I am pleased to say that my apartment is warm - it is at a pleasant temperature for the first time in a loong time.
I am actually NOT wearing a wool sweater.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My cat keeps going and standing in front of the monitor purring madly - I think he thinks that I am looking at him with fondness but I'm really just hoping that he will GET OUT OF THE WAY.
One cat (Toke) is sensibly afraid of the vacuum cleaner, which I just ran over the furry floors. The other cat (Slinky) just stays in her cat bed on the back of the living room chair, with one eye open to make sure I don't get the Tube Of Loud Noise And Wind too near her. I think it's like a game of Chicken for her.
Both dogs? Run like hell when I turn it on. Slinky the cat just mocks them for their canine cowardliness.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
All our dogs used to run to the vacuum cleaner- they loved to be vacuumed.

Yeah, my informant told me that they were imported from Australia (pity they didn't include a few koalas) and spread like weeds.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Our dog, Maggie-the-wonder-coonhound, goes to "her chair" whenever we pull out the vacuum cleaner. The entire time we use it she sits in her chair with a pouty look on her face.

Amarna likes to sit about three feet away from the vacumn cleaner and supervise while I use it. She'll move around the apartment with me and watch the entire time. I'm used to all the dogs we had growing up all running away as soon as we pulled the vacumn out of the closet, so I find her fascination with the entire process funny.

Trust my rage
My parents' dogs attack the vacuum. Ours mostly run away.

My son is terrified of the vacuum. Instant tears. It lives in the corner of his bedroom, and he's fine with it there, but if we bring it into another room, he knows we're going to turn it on, and cries.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ozzie has been known to attack the vacuum.
