would someone please check the sky outside and tell me if it's falling?

'Cause I'm convinced it is. There's nothing hideous going on, I'm just all live-wired. I did manage to get a little important house management taken care of today, since I feel I'm in the eleventh hour, but I'm starting to lose some momentum now and I'm worried the despair will set in.

The cats are so happy that we're home. The Dark Lord came and slept on my arm this morning, then cuddled up onto my shoulder and neck. I love it; he so rarely sleeps by my head anymore, and when he was a kitten he used to plop down on my face any time of the day or night. He hasn't even broken anything yet today; I think he's being nice so we'll stick around a while. Nim is snoring at my feet. They both get so much more affectionate after October; I know they're just trying to stay warm, but I love it anyway.

Back to work. There's something that needs doing.
