Sitting in the dark on myLot

I woke up around 1:30 to visit the bathroom. When I got back to bed I slept fitfully for several reasons. One was a headache.
Another reason was a squeaky sound. It sounded, to my sleepy self, like a guinea pig. I do not have a guinea pig. The cats were not acting like the squeak was anything alive. I am pretty sure the wind changed and something was rubbing on my window.
I have other aches and pains that are disturbing me. Like a right arm that has fallen asleep.
Perhaps I am finally getting excited about Christmas.
All I know is that I can sit in my cozy arm chair and use my laptop. I will probably nap later. I do not hear that squeak in here.
It is 3:30 a.m. A cup of coffee fixed the headache.
Maybe I will go make a coffee cake for weekend breakfast treats. I will have blueberries in it for sure.
So very early, dark good morning to you. The cats have not even asked to go out yet.
I prefer my desktop, but this chair is nicer and this room is warmer.

Aren't noises at night fun? When the wind was howling around the house a couple days ago I kept hearing what sounded like something banging outside but couldn't find anything. Pretty thought I was crazy.

Your wind and our wind were similar. I am sure, even if you could not find anything banging it was.

@GardenGerty I'm sure they were... It was an annoying sound. Pretty said she heard it but couldn't find anything, either.

@DaddyEvil I think what I heard this morning may have been in my attic. Once in a while creatures get in up there.

I went back to bed for a couple of hours. Bob does not think it is a critter. I still think it might be a bird that a cat has brought in.

@wolfgirl569 I have not ever seen mice in my house here, and I have been here six years. Besides having kitties there is a nice population of hawks and owls around as well as foxes and snakes. I have had birds get into the attic somehow, and even into the house if I left the door open.

@GardenGerty I was hearing something in the ceiling here for a couple of nights. Figured out where the mice were coming down at. Its all quiet now and Ghost kitty had a nice snack twice 
She was the fastest when I dropped them out of the trap.

I have problems with my arm disturbing my sleep and that has a bad effect all the way around. I am pretty much better right now, but we are on break.

That would definitely be alarming.

Due to other things coming up, I did not make it until lunch time and we have still not sampled it. Hubby is napping.

I am sure it was only the wind blowing things against my window. I got a couple of more hours of sleep later on.

I feel fine. Something else came up and we did not do the coffee cake, yet.
