    What a weird night

    So I woke up to some weird noises at about 2:30 this morning.  It was a weird wailing, and it took me a while to figure out what it was.  At first, as I was still waking up, I thought it was kids outside making noise.  Then, as I became fully awake, I realized it was cats fighting.  They were so loud, and I'd never heard cats make noises like that!  It sounded like they were going to kill each other.  I was so mad, that I got up, put my glasses on, and went to the back door.  They were right outside my window, behind the swingset a couple yards away.  I couldn't see them at first, but then I could see that stupid orange cat that comes on our property sometimes and taunts our cats.  I didn't really know what to do, but the noise just kept going on and on, so I did the first thing that came to mind.  I yelled, "Get out of here!" and they stopped for a few seconds.  I took a few steps out onto our deck (which is ground level, not elevated), and when they started yowling again I yelled "Go home!"  I slammed the door to startle them and started stalking toward them, and I believe they ran away, because it stopped for the night.  I could hear my parents inside, and then I went upstairs to talk to them.  We all laughed about it, and I felt silly, but it had to be done!  Stupid cats!  It was just so funny that I did it at all, and if any of the neighbors had their windows open, I'm sure they were laughing too. 
    I woke up again at about ten to 6 because our cat Izzy knocked something off my desk and it made a huge crash about four feet from my bed.  Luckily nothing was broken.  I got a few more hours of sleep, and now I'm up for good.  I'm going to eat some breakfast, shower, and then finish packing.  Then it's off to Mankato!
    Oh, and I had a weird dream, too.  Both Mike and John were in it.  It was really realistic; or at least, the part with John was.  For some reason, Mike and I were camping in a tent, I'm not sure why, and I don't remember much more with him.  But I do remember that we visited John (at his house I think?) and we passed each other and we both said hi, and I noticed he had something wrong with his face.  One of the sides of his face was slightly red and swollen, so I asked what happened and he told me.  It was all very peaceful.  A little awkward, but that's to be expected.  And it wasn't so awkward that we couldn't look at or talk to each other, which was good.  I imagine that's somewhat how it will go in real life, but who knows.  Anyhoo, I should get going.  Lots to be done today!
