Melatonin, a common sleep aid.
.
.
I admit to trying it years ago when my insomnia was full blown, but I didn’t have any noticeable results and promptly forgot about it.
.
.
So imagine my surprise when I saw this ad for scented sheets..
.
.
Surreal giant crab nightmares?
.
.
Damn.
.
.
I always miss out on all the good stuff.

Lord Dudley Mountcatten is relaxed and finally feeling like this is home.
.
.
He’s adjusting to our routine and no longer runs at loud noises.
.
.
The vacuum cleaner is still regarded as an evil entity, but he’ll happily sit at my feet while I blow dry my hair.
.
.
The living room furniture seems to be his favorite…
.
.
And I have to say I’m a bit jealous at how much sound sleep he gets.
.
.
Life is good for this little guy.
And us.
😊
.
.
Or does Lord Dudley Mountcatten look like a furry four footed vampire?
.
.
It may be time to rethink him sleeping alongside me in bed….

Every Sunday night I kick the husband off the big tv in the living room and stay up late binge watching a bunch of recorded series. I don’t watch a lot of television, but I am addicted to a few HBO, Starz and Showtime programs that my other half hates.
So Monday is the one morning I sleep past 5:00am… and I relish my extra 2 hours. But this Monday morning? I was woken by a noise.
Scratching. And banging. Then more scratching.
I grumbled, I stumbled, I got out of bed and I found this….
.
.
The red squirrel bitch from Hell. She had scaled the bush alongside the house and was scrambling up and down the screen, over and over. And then?
.
.
She just hung there.
Taunting me.
.
.
That bitch has got to go.

If you missed the first two chapters of this riveting chicken series, catch up here:
Let’s Talk Chicken… chapter 2.
Onward.
This could be a trick question as chickens often eat ticks, but we’ll proceed anyway.
Let’s start with some interesting chicken facts.
Quick recap – You can’t beat a chicken off the line unless it’s at night… and if it catches you? It will unleash it’s inner T Rex.
My advice?
Don’t race a chicken.
More facts:
Quick recap – There’s no need to buy your chickens deodorant or a birthday cake.
Though wearing the hat can be quite stylish.
A 3 eyed chicken?
I’ve often thought having a third eye on the top of my head would be helpful, though it would be hard to find the right pair of sunglasses…
Next up –
Okay, whether you’re a chicken fan or not this is fascinating stuff.
They can literally be asleep and awake at the same time. How frickin’ cool is that?
Heck, I could snooze and finish off that 12 part documentary series about Heinrich Schliemann at the same time! (1)
So there you have it.
Never let it be said my blogs are not educational…
(1) A few years ago I started watching a PBS documentary series on the search for ancient Troy.
Was it dry? Perhaps a wee bit…
Was it boring? Not to a history buff like me… but the husband fell asleep approximately 7 minutes into each and every episode.
If he was a chicken we could have discussed it later.
