4 a.m., coffee and cats

I keep waking up ridiculously early. I'm talking about wide awake, no chance in hell of going back to sleep. Today it was 3:30 a.m., which, given that I went to bed at 9:00, is 6 1/2 hours sleep. Maybe that's enough, but I prefer to get at least 7 or 8 hours. I definitely prefer to not be wide awake hours before I have somewhere to go or something to do (other than mess about on the computer).

Today when I woke up, Mok was head-butting my foot and prowling about, insisting on cuddles and scritches. So adorable, how can I ignore her? So, cuddles for the kitty and then downstairs to put coffee on and look for something quiet to do for an hour or more before Phae wakes up for work. I suppose the upside is that I can get some housework done once she goes; I have laundry to put away and the kitchen needs cleaning after yesterday's spate of baking. But for now, a nice cup of coffee and perhaps some knitting and Youtube videos. Although I do have several new books to get into, also... hm. I guess there's lots to do at this ridiculous hour, after all!
