up at night

I'm back at work after my vacation. It's not too bad, I have to say. The worst being that I have to leave Marta and Polly behind every morning.

Polly's generally a great sleeper at night, waking only once to eat and then she drops off again. But since a few nights, she's woken up completely and gotten a bit whiny. Simply being close is no good. You have to put her over your shoulder and walk around. I'm thanking my lucky stars that Marta is a rational and kind human being who thinks that since I have to get up and go to work, she takes Polly at night. Now it's Saturday, so that means that I can do my share too. This morning saw me and Polly greeting the sun as it climbed over the horizon. It was actually quite beautiful. Taking the pictures wasn't easy though, since Polly senses any diverting of attention from her and lets the world know how she feels about it. Haha! Eventually, she always drifts off with her head against your shoulder, but not before she lets out a little disappointed howl when she realizes the ritual is almost over.
