Wow. One of my rare ventures into coffee has resulted in the best sleep in weeks. This makes zero sense.

LittleCat is apparently attempting to hatch the router.

Operation de-grey the house proceeding in a very messy and stinky manner, and I have a serious grievance with some hungry possums.

Could people stop dying please?

TIL. From now on I am going to be extra vigilant regarding fake vanilla.

Far too expensive for mass market. Mostly used in the perfume industry as a fixative. If you've ever bought Red Door, Opium or Chanel No.5 you've caused the death of many beavers. Cheap vanilla substitute is brewed from pine bark. Also natural.

It's a problem with multi-tasking. So much brain power used in fake vanilla vigilence there is not enough left to track the threads properly.

If the router does hatch you can sell the offspring for $$$ (good kitty, contributing to household income!)
