Maybe a little, because I think most writers are, but I don't think you are overdramatizing your current sitch.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Tom Lenk (Andrew) comes out.
Apparently I missed the memo on his ever having been in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was so cold on my way home, my teeth were chattering like CRAZY. So I was unsurprised to hear about the chance of snow here as well.... And it was 40 degrees, so maybe that is time to pull out the warmer coat. And/or wear a sweater. Either one probably would have done.
BRRRR!
Now I have an apple crisp in the oven, so that should help.

National Geographic special on the Mars Rovers, this Sunday.
I'm not in this! But it'll still be cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unpossible!

I wish there were a sleeping pill as effective for people as shoving the kitten into my fleece is for him: [link]

You should send some of that to Cute Overload for Cats in Racks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Modern technology is truly a wondrous thing: IBM Joins in Pentagon Quest for Fake Cat Brains
IBM is that latest company to join in the Pentagon's quest to make electronics that mimic the "function, size, and power consumption" of a cat's brain.
"For intelligent machines to be useful, they must compete with biological systems," notes a recent presentation from Darpa, the Pentagon's way-out research division. But "compared to biological systems, today's intelligent machines are less efficient by a factor of a million to a billion in complex environments."
Darpa just gave Big Blue a $4,879,333 contract to start work on closing that gap. (Malibu's HRL Laboratories got a similar deal, a few weeks back.) If successful, the Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics (SyNAPSE) project could produce machines with so much computing power packed into such a small space, they could signal the "dawn of a new age" of hyper-smart machines.
