Today started poorly and hasn’t much improved. My first sensation as I woke up was pain, and it took me a while to wake up enough to figure out that my head was the source of the problem. Well, I figured, I have nothing that needs doing this morning, so I’ll just curl up on the couch and wait it out.

Then, while I was waiting it out, the cat started crying and moaning and pacing, deposited his rather large breakfast on the kitchen floor, and then continued to cry and moan and pace for the next hour before sinking into pitiful sleep on the couch next to me.

So now, here we both sit, looking scruffy and feeling mildly miserable.
