Even though Brian suggested I take my time, I completed Dark Watcher's arc and received a buttload of XP for it, so, at 3 more bars to level, I hit 50 last night at 1 AM.

I wasn't too into sleep, as I had also tested the HEATs before crashing (and was excited) but I went to sleep at 1:21 AM.

I tossed and turned sleeping restlessly until 3ish...At 5:30 PM I awoke suddenly when I heard a loud crash and what sounded like shattering glass. (I had previously kicked Kody out for chewing on my feet through the comforter.) After the shatter sound I distinctly heard the scampering of little feet on my floor. Kody had climbed up onto either the window sill or the ledge in the shower and tipped over the glass bowl of flattened marbles that Mom gave me and the sea shells that Howie gave me. The bowl had shattered all across the bathroom (the only bathroom) and hallway floor! There were marbles and shards of glass everywhere! It's now 5:30 AM and I have to be up for work at 7 AM.

I thought maybe, if I left Kody locked in the basement, I could catch that last half hour. So I went back to bed, quite angry.

Within 5 minutes, Kody was scampering up and down the stairs to the basement. So, I got up and got the vacuum out. I went downstairs to throw out the largest shards of glass, Kody was hiding behind some boxes at the back of the basement looking at me with just his eyes showing. He knew he had been very bad. When I went to grab him and scold him he was very limp and just took it. As soon as I set him down he booted upstairs. Of course, I'm vacuuming and he's running around like crazy. Instead of risking something *else* breaking, I grabbed him and put him downstairs. He spit all over me and scratched me. So now I'm even more angry at him.

Finally, I get the mess cleaned up and lay back in bed, after leaving him in the basement.

I don't understand why he did it; he hates the bathroom and avoids it like the plague - Unless he's doing his "rounds." Was he just curious? Was he bored and needed something to do? Am I not entertaining him enough?

When I got up at 7 after tossing and turning for an hour, he was understandably meek. I ignored him for the whole hour I was at home and left for work with my bedroom, bathroom and study door closed; no toys left out.

I'm *still* pissed off.
