Thank you @raspberrytorte for your kind words. I really don't want to even be me at this point, if you get the drift? I slept some (not sure how long but probably since I last posted here) and I am up at 4 AM

Between my psych issues, and owning my cat Pecan, I can hardly see straight. Starting around 1 AM, Pecan wouldn't give me a moment's peace. We have a cat flap on the bedroom door, but no one else was awake to close it, and since I never close it, I'm not up to figuring that one out. Every time I rolled into a more comfortable position, Pecan was on me like a shot. Wonderful. I went to the bathroom, and every time I tried to even shut the door, she was at the toilet which I needed or in the bathroom doorway. I tried our 2nd bathroom in the hall instead which doesn't have my morning stuff like my toothpaste, toothbrush, and deodorant. Same thing. Wonderful.

I tried to feed Pecan. She went to her dish, and I'm thinking "Great! Problem solved! I turned into theorange one overnight! Checked to see if I needed a wheelchair to start getting around the house in some peace, but well, I hadn't turned into Greg Abbot either. Oh, shoot, I can't even turn into Elon Musk and solve this problem! What if I really DO rule the world by now so I have a zillion lackeys to take care of Pecan, but I didn't have any money. Oh man! No transporter to beam myself away! Not even when the USS Enterprise can't lock in and nearly turn themselves into molecules in outer space while beaming up!" Drat! Probably because I'm a female & not male! And not a minority in the US or the town I live in (here in Texas). I know more than my first name today and even what wel my husband around the house informally. Good. Since we just had our 21st wedding anniversary & I knew him 3 years before that! Hey! I even remember the name of the very small town where I grew up & just had 109 kids in my graduating high school class since I was valedictorian there and graduated summa cum laude (remembered how to spell that possibly) from a very large university by US standards that are not Yale or Princeton or something similiar to that like John Hopkins medical facilities. I went to Texas A&M University, but that is one of the larger universities everyone in Texas knows, and only Alaska trumps Texas in size, but Texas population is much larger than Alaska. I even live 20 min. from Houston, a city all people in the US may have heard at this point. Maybe people outside the US have even heard of Houston, Texas!

I tried feeding my cats Licorice and Midnight. Pecan stayed underfoot! Good grief already, she nearly tripped me. I cleaned our 3 litter boxes. I threw the used litter away. OK, wonderful! I'm getting my chores done one by one. But nope, by that point Midnight wanted treats. So did Pecan and Licorice. I'm nearly awake at this point.

I refilled my water and got ice for it. Opened the door to change the outside water. Licorice wanted out & so did Pecan...but we try to keep Pecan inside since we got her before she turned 1 yr. old, and she didn't seem to want to go outside again b/c she had been a stray out there and would have died within a week if she didn't go to the vet and get spayed because they found she needed more work than a spay and rabies shot. We're just not sure Pecan has enough street smarts to cross the road like Midnight or Licorice because of that.

So...I get Pecan inside, right? Finally! Nope! just took out trash, and Pecan had used 2 of 3 litter boxes! WTF? by this point I'm thinking I'm awake. If I just make H's work lunch, I'll be done with all my normal morning chores now except laundry.

Sorry for yesterday and this saga. I hope you may find a bit of humor in the above story about Pecan and my other 2 cats and I haven't turned into all 3 of them overnight either! Maybe I can last long enough to do better than yesterday and reply to more posts. Hopefully!

Have a great Wednesday! I think it is Wednesday in the US at least?
