Jeezus H. Gut-Blowing Christ! If you'll recall, many years ago a class-action lawsuit was launched against Spotify for streaming songs without permission of the artists who own the songs. That lawsuit was settled a year or so ago. I'm part of the settlement, for Grabbag. I've been getting a bunch of legal minutiae that I've had to keep up with, to the point where I was beginning to expect a check of eleven dollars or something similarly puny. Well, I got my check today. $711.92!!! It nearly knocked the wind out of me. Good lord, how many streams did they have to account for in order to come up with such a sum for one song??? I'm still staggered. This is going to help pay off a huge medical bill from my last toe amputation.

Explorer the Cat begins to move away from taking a rest back to being active about the house. While it doesn't show here, Explorer is much more active than when she is resting on the box.

After a busy day of doing cute things while The Human recharged the battery on the flashy thing, Explorer the Cat takes a rest on the resting box.

Explorer the Cat about to jump out of her small box and keep running around the house like crazy. She seem more active than normal this morning.

I posted the above on Facebook, then boosted the post with a "Shop Now" button added. The ad just started running, and already 11 people have clicked on the button. If every one of those equates to a purchase, at $9.49 a copy, that's $104.39 already. I won't see all of that if it's true, since CD Baby and Visa/MC/whatever take their cut, but it's a nice start for an ad that's scheduled to run for 3 days in the USA and Europe. I hope.

I hear the outside cats. I'll stay here where it's safe.

Explorer the Cat after a dash into the kitchen. She stopped to tell me that making tea was still boring, even if she wasn't going to watch the whole process today because she had a need, a need for speed...

And it's not responding to my normal meds. This sucks. Not a bad as a migraine but bad enough that I'm back in bed with the lights out a couple of hours early today.
