Oh, one other thing - Mrs. Prof strode out of the computer area Saturday afternoon and pronounced, "Someone loves me, and it isn't you," with a grin on her face. She then showed me a pair of silly-looking cat slippers that someone for whom she had done a favor had sent her as a gift. Nice, comfy looking. Still, not a challenge one should allow to go by if at all possible, and in this case, I had a retort. You see, I had ordered her a birthday gift - a pair of lab-grown diamond earrings (small diamonds, but that's all I could afford) - and I'd hoped to give them to her at Friday's family Thanksgiving get-together. Well, UPS thwarted that with late delivery, but they did deliver while she was out running a cat errand Saturday morning. I'd opened up the package and was ready to spring it on her at the proper time, and wouldn't you know it, she presented the proper time with her little "someone loves me" remark. So, after letting a few comedy beats pass for effect, I went and retrieved the Zales box and brought it over to her. I then pronounced, "Someone loves you, and it's me," and handed her the box. The look on her face was priceless. She appreciated the gift very much, especially after I reassured her that I didn't break the bank in purchasing them (they were $59 plus tax - like I said, they were small). I had her try them on, and she looked lovely in them. Mission accomplished, on both fronts.

Due to living alone and not wanting to go out and make some one work on a holiday (i.e. waitstaff) I got my self something special for Thanksgiving. I'm having steak later today!

I remember one time when we were visiting a friend, a sudden ruckus came from down their hall. Which I was in position to look down. So they asked "What's that noise?" I replied "Your cat is fighting with a box. The more intelligent one is winning." Immediate response: "Oh, poor Misty, is that box beating up on you?"

"Just thinking about what I'm gonna do for the rest of the day, or at least the morning as afternoon is almost certainty taken up by napping." - Explorer the Cat.

"It's sorta nippy in here. Why don't we go back to bed for a while. I like the electric blanket! Even if it is under the lumpy one." - Explorer the Cat.

"The Human finally got out of bed. Time to start running around!" - Explorer the Cat.

"I'm under the desk. Not in the way. You haven't even started tea water yet! I'm gonna hang out in the kitchen, maybe do some bird watching. Or eat breakfast, could go either way." - Explorer the Cat.

"Gonna run! It's running time!" - Explorer the Cat.

"I'm under the desk now. I'll be getting on the desk or in your lap soon enough, but I'm out of the way for now.

Project X is just a holding name. I have no of releasing it under that name. I'll keep that in mind, sorta like that name.

"I was sleeping. Why you wake me up and make flashy?" - Explorer the Cat.

"Your tea water is still coming to a boil. You don't need this spot on the desk until both the water has come to a boil and the tea has finished brewing. Chill, I'll move when it's time." - Explorer the Cat.

Explorer lost one fight to a plastic bag. Had a hell of time stopping her and removing it as she bolted around the house.

"The Human is using the lumpy blanket again. Not sure I like it." - Explorer the Cat.

"I'm really hyped up this morning! Gonna run around and attack The Human's feet!" - Explorer the Cat.

"I'm not grumpy, I just look that way! Planing my day out, think I'll spend some time on the desk helping The Human" - Explorer the Cat.

"I'm not sure what the noise was. Need to check it out." - Explorer the Cat.

"Hanging out with The Human until he decides to get out of bed. This may be a while." - Explorer the Cat.

Morphine is closely tracked as a controlled substance, so the distribution bogs down. Glad you figured it out and are feeling better.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do when it gets cold. With windchill due to e-bike speed it was 31 (freedom units) [-1 rest of world] I know I'm going to need better gloves and will need to wear 2 pair of socks. Not looking forward to winter.

"I must attack the blanket!" - Explorer the Cat.

"I'll mark the desk as mine. I'll let The Human use it, but it's my desk!" - Explorer the Cat.

You wouldn't believe how much better I believe, pharmaceutical-wise. Pain-wise, however, I'm hurting more. That's the sad thing. The morphine did more for me in terms of pain relief. Everything hurts now. Everything hurts.
