Now tagless for your comfort.

Emily, I feel your pain. My cat can have FULL dishes and he will STILL claw at our heads at 5:00 a.m. He wants us UP and for us to show him his food.

We've taken to shutting him in the basement at night but he yowls and bats at the door and makes too much noise.

Yeah, I had to get up twice -- once to get out her food, and once to walk her to the food and show it to her.

In other news, we have groups of middle school students walking through our classrooms all this week. Four presentations a day on what I teach, one before I've had my full coffee dose, and two of them during my free period. Grrr. I don't teach freshmen anyway! They don't need to know what I teach! And all the 8th graders are giving me flashbacks.

ETA: And the other two during the class which was going to be watching movies all this week.

Oh, and I just ordered a pair of these, in anticipation of my upcoming Florida trip (and the fact that all my sandals are totally worn out)

Those look fabulous, Nora!

Um...there was other stuff. Toto is insisting on going out. I have no idea why. I mean, I'm usually up by 7 a.m., at the latest. What's three more hours to a doggie's bladder?

All is well that ends in pizza.

What's three more hours to a doggie's bladder?

21 in human hours?

Fortunately for me, my cats only get obstreperous if I'm in the kitchen. I think one of the things that's helped keep them bugging me at other times is that I've got an automatic food dispenser. It runs on batteries, so I can program feeding times into it. They get fed twice a day, at the same times everyday. As soon as they hear the food hit the pan, they're gone.

Hey, so does my cat! Actually, he has two. They are both carbon-based semi-autonomous household appliances, and they run on Coke Zero. He's programmed one to feed him at 5:30 am and 9:00 pm, and the other to feed him at 8:00 am and 5:30 pm.

He's developing a spot-feeding dispenser, but it's not tall enough to reach the food yet.

Well, damn. My prof *still* hasn't assigned me to a group for the assignment that is due online at 6pm today. And, no one has posted their work yet, so I have no idea how much work I should even put into this thing.

I was actually looking forward to this assignment, but now I'm just stressed about getting it done before I go to work.
