22. Reminds me

Love this picture. It reminds me of another poster we had here at DU many many years ago. I can’t remember his username, but he was in graduate school at Valparaiso University I think.

Anyway, he posted around Christmas time that he was in bed. It was the night before his oral exams for his PhD. What was going on with the Christmas tree, however, kept him from getting a good night’s sleep. What was that?

It was the kitties in the living room, knocking off the tree ornaments one by one.

He didn’t want to get up because he desperately needed his sleep, but the ornaments dropping kept him awake nonetheless. Little mini-crashes, all night long.
