mercury, settle down
Jan. 26th, 2026 11:10 amIf you haven't had an experience with a Needy/clingy cat, it's a ..blessing & a curse. Thankfully he just gave me some space! Every time I have a zoom, I end up with cat-tail mustache.
Today is a remote-work-day for me and a snow-day for, like, everyone. That means, although I'm working, there are fewer urgent matters, because all the staff are home.
That's great because:
- I slept shittily again last night (3 in a row, yay) and am about to fall asleep in my chair (not that I necessarily will, but......) and have limited brainpower
- also have one kiddo home due to said snowday and brought the other back to college on Saturday (wahhh)
- I did an At-Home sleep study on Fri & Saturday (good nights to sleep poorly i guess?) and was supposed to return the equipment today or tomorrow. If tomorrow I have to take work off. If today, I have some flexibility because of the aforementioned , but also, snow. Guess what, there was a window of not-so-much snow from 8-10am so I did the delivery, it took a long time and was nasty out, and am back home. It's not so much slippery snow as really blowy and powdery and bad visibility. Thankfully not a lot of people out to work around.
Husband jokes that the cats wish they could think.
I theorize that they communicate and/or think in like, emoji-level complexity
Ok, that's all I wanted to do for now, in this hibernation-brain-state
