You early awakening people are freaks. I, on the other hand, slept and slept, and eventually looked at my phone to see if I could sleep some more, and it was 12:30. And I figured, not so much. So now I am up.

Cats with fraudulent diplomas

Skeptics who believe that a university is actually a diploma mill often prove their point by enrolling their cats in the university's program and seeing whether the cat can get a degree. Some enterprising Wikipedians have assembled a list of several such cats.

Colby Nolan is a housecat who was awarded an MBA degree in 2004 by Trinity Southern University, a Dallas, Texas-based diploma mill, sparking a fraud lawsuit by the Pennsylvania attorney general's office.[1]...

I'm torn between being elated that Hot Young Waiter® came over to chat with me today despite my not being seated in his section and deep disappointment that I missed his restaurant holding a Halloween party (to which he wore a caveman costume!) while I was squeezed into a 24-inch square of bar space against a wall across town.

My fairly productve morning was cancelled out by a fairly lazy afternoon.

I am not doing any of the projects I had wanted to do. OTOH, I have decided that I want a hatchback and I am getting my dad the info to start doing research for what will be the best 3-4 cars for me togo test drive in the spring.

I slept in and then refused to get out of bed, stayed listening to the radio instead. BUT, I did finally get out and make s run to a swim shop where I got a suit that will hopefully last longer than a month (seriously! These supposedly last 20x as long) and she told me that if I end up liking it, they do the bulk of their business in overstock and fitting out teams, so if I order 5-6 suits at once, they offer deep discounts. Like 1/3 the price. So if this one holds up, I'll be doing that.

Then Target where they didn't have catfood, but got other stuff. Finishing lunch and then pool. I really should have walked today, but eh.

I made chicken soup from scratch today. And I do mean from scratch - even the stock and the noodles. Well, spaetzle. I did not raise the chicken.

I lost the morning to a migraine. I'm still having a migraine, but if I don't do grocery shopping today, I go hungry.

are there any grocery delivery options?

I am finally getting going on those projects. apples are peeled, cored and sitting in a bowl with sugar and cinnamon. The dough is ready for them and the oven is heating up. As for the clothing project, I'm halfway through sewing the first of 2 or three pieces of lining into a wool hat.

Two hours of karate down. Showered and trying to convince CJ that leaving the apartment would be a good thing. He normally spends the weekends with his dad, but I have had him the last few and will have him the next few. I didn't realize how much I had gotten used to having quiet ME time.
