Last night around 1:30 AM we were awakened by the kitties doing something out in the living room so Kent got up to investigate and I turned a bit in bed and put my hand squarely in a small puke pile. Under the sheets. Yes, Eddie finally puked under the covers with us. Highly gross and especially annoying since we’d just changed the sheets yesterday.
So we clean it up, strip off the bottom sheet and mattress pad, toss them in the washer and figure we’ll just sleep on top of the feather bed and do a full change in the morning. Well some of it had stuck to the top sheet so it now dropped down on the feather bed—EW. So we ended up changing the sheets entirely and crawling back into bed.
If Kent’s had a drink or two or when he’s traveled, he produces exceptionally loud startling snores. And that’s what happened next. At one point I was so jarred awake by his snore that I hit him—usually I nudge him to get him to change positions but this time I had such a huge rush of adrenaline that I just hit him, sort of a fight or flight reaction I guess.
And during this time, the cats were being semi-noisy out in the living room. They weren’t quite bad enough to get up and find out what they were doing. But they were bad enough to keep interrupting our sleep.
This morning we were awakened by Eddie flushing the toilet. Today we’ll be fixing that situation. Kent got a ½ x 2 inch board he's going to cut down so we can put it under the toilet handles. I’ll post pictures of that later.
And in the rush to get the puke cleaned up, we forgot to re-do our kitty countermeasures to protect our paper towel. Boy were we dumb.

About enough reasons not to have three cats and two humans in 1000 square feet of space!! Sorry you had such a bad night.
I know it's not funny when it's your house, but that picture of the paper towel roll made me laugh out loud.
I've had the same experience being wakened by a cat barfing in the bed, so I know exactly how you feel.
Hopefully, today will be better.
*hugs*
