Happy birthday, Trudy!
Pix, I have been waking up ugly tired every morning for the past two weeks. I need to find a way to fix it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies Trudy!

Me, too. And I have no idea why.

Oversleeping your alarm by 2 hours goes a long way to waking up refreshed.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Me three, though that may have to do with Tuesday being a travel day to Denver, less than 21 hours in CO, and a flight home that didn't get me to my house until midnight yesterday.
Happy birthday, Trudy!

I was really tired yesterday. So I took a 90 minute nap after work and then went to bed early. So I got about 10.5 hours of sleep in total. I'm still tired but less than yesterday.

I am going to have to state outright that the following thoughts are not "ethical", ie, concerned with the welfare of animals, or mindful of suffering in the world, etc.
A Ravelry board is intensely debating how you can determine if your silk is ethically sourced. Also, is it better if the egg is unfertilized, if the pupa is killed, if it's the larva, or if the adult is killed to prevent the world being overtaken by silk moths. Also, isn't the whole thing animal enslavement (OK, they didn't talk about that, but I bailed on the conversation so it may have come up)? Maybe it's OK if the larva died naturally (though someone pointed out that silk farmers can't take a larva's pulse)?
I know this is a matter of deep concern to many people, but i can't help staring at this conversation in disbelief.
This does not include the difficulties in finding out if the sheep you get your wool from were "ethically" sheared.
I'm just going to have to claim my less-than-advanced state and remember that sheep that are badly treated are not profitable sheep and that a lot of these species/variants wouldn't even exist if it weren't for farmers.
