To sleep or not to sleep
that is the question
whether it is nobler in the mind
to suffer the slings and arrows
of outrageous waking
or to take a nap in a sea of blankets
and, by resting, enjoy them.
-- Emily "quoting" Hamlet
Emily is a big fan of Shakespeare. On days like today she can be found contemplating heady questions, and pondering moral dilemmas. With the sun shining, the bed empty and inviting, and the world at her feet, Emily cogitated on the greatest question: to sleep or not to sleep. While she has yet to reach a definitive conclusion, for now she is contenting her self with pacing back and forth on the warm, soft bed and wondering in quiet kitty grunts and meows to herself what the best choice would be.
Her thoughts, as relayed to me:
To Not Sleep: Being awake can be a lot of fun. Yes, the humans are annoying and whatever, but they also play and have great food and are generally very nice/tolerable. I could also go to another room which would give me different things to look at, a box to jump into, and also other things I could sit/stand/eventually nap on if I do go to sleep.
To sleep: I am here, the bed is comfy, the sun is shining, the room is warm, I don't have anywhere to be, I don't have any obligations at the moment. My usually packed social calendar has cleared up and I do not have any pending professional deadlines.
At the time of writing no verdict has been reached, but it is suspected that the eventual decision, whatever it may be, will be met with great joy by Emily.
