The last third of my day got kind of complicated, but some important things happened. And one of the complications came indirectly from a very short, delightful conversation that turned out to have been two hours long (whoops) once we looked at the time. More about my day and week later (how much later depends on how badly the next two days wear me out).

I came home to find parts on the kitchen floor. Parts of what, I'm not entirely certain, but it looked like it might have been a particularly juicy, medium-sized cricket -- one of those grey blotchy ones. But it might have been something else with sort of similar colouring; I haven't heard any crickets in the house ... Size very aproximate, 'cause Perrine ate part of it. Hey, she's learning to kill her prey! (Or, more likely, she just played with it until it broke, but I figured I'd try for some optimism.)

I am very tired. Felicia is showing up eight hours from now to drive me to the recording studio. We have a loooong day scheduled; I don't expect my fibromyalgia to let me be useful the entire scheduled time, but I'll try. Sunday is a shorter day, but I'll be starting out tired. I'm figuring that Monday and Tuesday (at least ... but maybe I'll get lucky) will be spent recovering from pushing too hard over the weekend.

I'm up. The cat is fed and I'm about to be, then as fast a shower as I can manage before a bandmate rings my doorbell at 09:00. My day has started. I'll be in the studio earlier than I'm usually out of bed. Let's see how far I can afford to push my body once we get started -- it's scheduled to be a long day.

Perrine doesn't seem to be eating (as of yesterday). Odd. But if we average that compared to Wednesday and Thursday, the amounts look about right. Kind of like humans on Thanksgiving weekend or something? (Not worried, just curious.)

Home from recording studio. Very productive session, which I'll write more about after I go back to watching the lunar eclipse (which had just started when I got home), which in turn will be after my fingers warm up a little from having just been out on the sidewalk watching it.

This morning I wasn't sure whether Perrine was simply in a Very Active/Playful Mood (despite not having eaten much [EDIT: I just checked her food dish, and she did eat a normal half-day worth of food while I was gone.]), or was attempting to convince me not to leave the house once she saw me get up early, shower, and dress. Well I came home to zoom-kitty, leaping over the guitar cases and trying to engage me in "swat" or "peek-a-boo" from behind doors, so I think today is just some special kitty-play holiday on the secret cat calendar.

Okay, time to see how much more of the moon is gone.
