When I told Dave the title of today’s post, he rolled his eyes and said, “Is it going to be about Diesel?”

Whatevs Dave, I know you’ve had a stressful week and had a lot of pressure, you may have a lot of great moves, but MINE are better! *see below

Yes, I’m storytelling about my cat who as you may guess is called Diesel.

I couldn’t pass up this little ha, ha of a tale.

You know you are sitting on some serious internet gold when your Mother-in-Law snortles ( slang: half snorts, half laughs) and says,

“You people have some strange stories that come out of this house.”

We had an Italian family pasta supper the other night, and I was sharing how after a couple of nights of poor sleep, my life was getting back to normal.

I had a piece break on my sleep apnea machine and tried to sleep without it.  I dreamt that I moved in with my Dad.  Obviously, I stopped breathing, because, not that I’d mind moving in with my Father, but truth is he now lives in heaven.  The following evening, I tried to hold the face mask on and sleep at the same time.  I ended up with a bleeding dent just below my nose.

I rushed to get the replacement part I needed and settled in for a long evening of rest that had alluded me.

Dave teases and says that sleeping for me is a full-time job and he’s right; I take my duties very seriously.  Dave knows that I’m all business in the bedroom, but it seems my cat Diesel didn’t get the memo.

I sleep on my side, in the fetal position with a pillow between my legs.  Diesel decided to sidle his backside up to my backside.  And…purr.

It seems a little drama in the bedroom can go a long way in a family tell-all.

When you read my titles, do you roll your eyes like Dave?  Snortle like my M-in-L?  Like my moves?
