Matrix reminds me I'm not alone

[juldea]

I was lying in bed, trying to fall asleep, generally feeling sad and lonely despite certain folks' best attempts at cheering me up earlier tonight. All of a sudden, plop! Matrix, who 99.99999% of the time sleeps at the foot of the bed, flomps down on the pillow next to my head, her fur just barely covering my face. I stir enough to be comfortable, reach up to pet her, and thank her for reminding me that I'm not sleeping alone.

Of course, now if I could just SLEEP that would be great, since I'd like to make it back to work tomorrow and doing so well-rested would be nice.
