insomnia

Damn it. I developed a weird sleep schedule mainly with taking a very late night nap and waking up around midnight and going to sleep somewhere around three or four am. Alcohol plays a role and tonight might have been the height of it cause I woke up and threw up which I haven't done in some time. Made things much better but god that has to be one of the worst feelings in the world right next to lack of sleep, which I fear will happen tomorrow when I have to at work at 9:30 AM.

oh it also didn't help that I downed a 1/3lb. cheeseburger right before passing out and after not eating anything all day. :X

AHHH

a nightmare

I had a horrible nightmare last night. I went to a European country to catch Erase Errata and I saw Jenny, Ellie and Bianca but when they got on the huge and dark stage only Jenny played with the other instruments played by other people, one of them being a ex-co-worker of mine. I kept waiting for Ellie and Bianca to get on but they never did. Then I realized that I brought my cat with me but didn't bring him in a pet carrier and she was running outside on a lawn until she vanished. I panicked and tried to call my roommate but I couldn't get through anyone.

The whole time I should have known it was a dream since things were so unlike how they are in real life like taking Lindsay to Europe, different band members, etc. but I was just horrified from one event to another.

I finally woke up with Lindsay right beside me and I think she knew something was wrong cause she let me pet her for a long time and in a very affectionate way, more so than usual. I was just relieved to have her next to me.

Anyways, it looks like all kinds of wacky anxiety and events from the last few days caught up with me and scrambled my brain at night. Damn you!

Happy Valentines Day

weee!

New-born lambs' Rottweiler 'mum'

They have a fearsome reputation, but one Rottweiler is proving that the breed has a softer side by helping to rear two lambs.

Molly has been using her maternal instincts after lambs Lucky and Charm were born with complications on a farm.

Her owner Maria Foster, 38, from Forden, near Welshpool in Powys, said Molly slept with the pair at night, and even protected them from other animals.

Lucky and Charm are recovering and will be placed in a field in about 10 days.

Ms Foster said the pair needed help to improve their circulation soon after they were born.

They were placed in an Aga oven for warmth and after being lifted out Molly took over and started licking them as a ewe would have done.

Molly protects the lambs and sleeps with them

"The first 12 to 24 hours for a lamb are absolutely crucial and if Molly hadn't been doing what she was doing, I would have had to have been there rubbing the lambs through most of the night to keep their circulation going," said Ms Foster.

"She could have ignored them but she didn't and it is quite comical to see."

Now 11-month-old Molly is like a mother to the two lambs, who stick closely to their unlikely guardian.

Ms Foster added: "The cat came into the kitchen the other day and walked over to the bucket where the lambs were sleeping, but Molly pushed her away as if to say: 'They are mine.'

"She will let the sheepdog have a look, but only for so long before she pushes him away as well."

Ms Foster said they cannot be returned to their mother because they would be rejected by her after so long apart.

A spokesman for the Kennel Club, which organises Crufts, said: "Rottweilers were originally bred as guard dogs in Germany, but in the right hands they should not pose a problem.

"They are not born aggressive, they learn it from us.

"Nonetheless, it's certainly the first time I've ever heard of a Rottweiler caring for lambs."
