Noises

It's 11:30 pm and I can't sleep.
Here's how the last hour has gone:
"Mr. Eckard, where are your tea things?"
"My what?"
"Your tea things"
"Last time I checked, they were next to the fingerbowls"
(stranded on a deserted island, there aren't any tea things!  from the movie Father Goose)
*keystroke*clakkety*keystroke*
-sigh-
chime>chime>chime (as I play freeflow)
-sigh-
whoosh.whoosh.whoosh
dammmit
whoosh.whoosh.whoosh
sweet!
Divine!!
there.
oops.

"You have failed"  (yeah, Candy Crush)
*wHoppWhiRRwHopp* (helicopter flies over)
yeeeeeeeeooooooowwwwwwwwwwww (cat howls)
woof*woo*woo*woof*woof*woof (Sadie barks)
shhhhhhh be quiet!
*pet*pet*pet* (to quiet her down again)
sigh
*snore*snoofle*snore* (Sadie... not me!)
*wHoppWhiRRwHopp* (helicopter flies over)
 "See this whistle? You want it? All you have to do is repeat three words, OK?"
*girl nods*
"Elephant"
"Elephant" she repeats
"Rhinoceros"
"Rhinoceros" she repeats
"Wrong"
"Why?"
"No, not why, wrong.  Wrong was the third word.  You lose."
*whistle blows*
 *snore*snoofle*snore* (Sadie still..... not me!)
seems the only one who can go back to sleep is Sadie.
Lucky her!
Guess I'll try counting sheep......
one.... two.... three...
