Early morning.
Still dark here.
Gotta get up for video meeting with East Coast people.
Don't want to wake my wife so I get up and get dressed in complete darkness.
Leaving the bedroom, still in the dark.
Someone I had no idea was there touches my face.
Brain goes AAAAAAA!! I stumble backward crashing into the bedroom door.
Wife wakes up, says, 'are you all right? what happened?', and turns on light.
Small fuzzy face gazes serenely at me from the top of the bookshelf next to the door. Where I passed within reach of her paw.
"Who, me? I have no idea why you stumbled backward. You two-legs are just clumsy is all....."
And yet, as the sun rose, I fed them anyway.
