little piece of heaven

I didn't sleep well last night. My body has a tough time shutting down after my long runs. I tossed and turned until 4 a.m. and then got up at 9 to start working on my paper (due Monday!). its cold and rainy out, the kind of dreary day when you just want to curl up in bed.

Finally around 3:00 I allowed myself a nap. I had just taken my fabulous Woolrich microfleece blanket out of the dryer so it was all warm and clean and wonderful. I climbed into bed and the cuddlemutt curled up next to me. I'm not sure there is ANYTHING more heavenly than a warm blanket, a warm dog, and a luxurious nap on a chilly rainy day (especially when you are trying to procrastinate).

Fortunately for the Smacca chickie, who deals with the cold a helluva lot more than I do, she will get to experience this very feeling pretty soon. Congrats Smacca chickie.
