Oh my. Pleased to see this.

In more egocentric news, I'm crawling back toward feeling functional after yesterday's eit. Oddly, even though I did not wind up taking any caffeine, I woke this morning with a feeling very much like a "caffeine hangover". (I don't know whether other people experience that or not -- my reaction to caffeine is atypical. It's sort of like a cross between a mild alcohol hangover, the flu, and sleep deprivation despite having slept. Since I managed to get through last night with just Gatorade and a baked potato, I'm guessing this is a lingering effect of yesterdays skull-clobbering headache.)

Speaking of skull-clobbering, Perrine mistimed a sprint through a door I was closing, and I heard an impressive bang when she made contact. I don't know what part of her struck the door, but I found myself wondering: if a cat bumps her head and sees lttle cartoon birds circling, does she try to catch them?

And that in turn reminds me of an important safety tip: do not try to force a kitten to wear a tiny crash helmet. It's widely believed that the only reasons cats have not completely taken over the world is because of the number of times they bang their heads as kittens. Kitten crash helmets could drastically upset the natural order.
