Quick progress report:
Diablo III downloading as I type this. I expect to be absent from this reality for a good several days.
Catt Murdock continues to be a holy terror. She's not malicious, but her default mode seems to be set to POUNCE AND KILL. Hungry? POUNCE AND KILL. Bored? POUNCE AND KILL. Upset? POUNCE AND KILL. Startled by her own tail? POUNCE AND KILL. I'm pretty sure she's actually a misplaced fighting Pokemon. She repeatedly tries to tackle and gut me like I'm a rabbit half her size, as opposed to a brobdingnagian ape that outmasses her by a factor of at least 40. The other cats are exhibiting some behavioral issues as a result of this constant and unrelenting series of savage and unprovoked sneak attacks. Minerva has a perch on top of the highest shelf, and I'm having to bring her dinner because otherwise she won't eat, for fear of being savaged as she drops her head to her food dish.
In other unhappy cat news, Lucy, the FIV+ stray I took in and subsequently fostered out, is coming back to me. She and her new roommate Marmalade just weren't getting along. Sorry Lucy, it's the guest room for you again.
I haven't been sleeping right for several days. Over the weekend I got maybe three hours a night, and that of poor quality. Last "night" I slept from about 5AM to 4:30 PM, and have been awake since. I've got places to be tonight, and sleep doesn't seem to be a viable option between now and then. I'm going to pop out for some tea and breakfast tacos, and we'll see if that gets me through the day. Hey, this could be an opportunity to try to shock my sleep cycle into some semblance of normality.
