Zoey is my canary

susandennisZoey has taken to sleeping either up by my head or down by my feet. Every night. All night. Until last night.
I replaced the comforter on the bed yesterday with a duvet and cover that has been in storage for a while. When I got into bed last night, I realized it was kind of musty and was sorry I hadn't Fabreezed it but I was tired and sleepy and said 'fuck it'. Zoey hopped up on the bed but before I was asleep left and didn't come back. Weird.
I woke up once coughing but went back to sleep. But a couple of hours later, I woke all the way up and realized that I'd been coughing for a while. Zoey was nowhere to be found. The duvet cover!! I threw it off and dragged a quilt out of the quilt chest and went back to sleep. When the alarm went off, I realized that the coughing had stopped and Zoey was back in her spot.
Next time I'll pay closer attention. If she's not there when I sleep, check/replace bedding!!
Today is swimming at 8:30 and then I'm meeting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seattlejo for breakfast. It's been way too long since we've had a good visit.
There may be a grocery visit. I don't really need anything but this may be the last day before it gets too crazy to get anything until the end of next week. There will absolutely be a complete sniffing, re-evaluating, sorting for Goodwill of all bed covers. I have lots of options and it's time to cull anyway. I sure don't need to sleep with shit that makes me cough.

Date: 2013-12-22 11:03 pm (UTC)I had a coughing fit at a friend's house due to a musty comforter. After over an hour of coughing and trying to sleep, I crawled back upstairs where the others were still up and begged for a benadryl or anything that would knock my ass out. Oh mustiness, you suck.
