I said I wouldn’t write about running, but I may have lied a little. <\/p>\n
Last night it took me a while to get to sleep, as it will in a new place, especially when cats are trying to use your head as a pillow. Eventually, at around 1am I drifted off. <\/p>\n
At 4am, a raucous beep! beep! beep! rudely jarred me awake. I was in a dark room, no idea where the lightswitch was, not sure where my glasses had gotten to, no clue where the awful racket was coming from.
