Harlee has decided that my bed is her bed. We're still working this out :) Mimi's nose is out of joint because usually she sleeps with me, but she won't share the bed with Harlee. Oh, the drama.

Having a rare bout of insomnia. I think that it's because I forgot to take my nighttime meds. Also, Harlee is lying right next to me, and I'm worried about rolling over and squishing her. Mimi likes to lie in a similar spot, but Mimi is huge and rugged. Harlee is old and frail. I tried to relocate her to the foot of the bed, but she wants this spot instead. "Never try to outstubborn a cat." -- Heinlein. I finally was too restless, and she got up and wandered off. Then she came back. I woke up on the other side of her from where I went to sleep. Not sure how that happened, but Harlee wasn't squished.

All the cats slept in different spots: Harlee on the bed (Mimi's spot), Zara on the futon (Harlee's spot), and Mimi on the cat tree. Harlee had ventured out of the bedroom when I came home for dinner.

The zipper on my purse has given up the ghost. I was looking at other purses, but the purse itself is okay; I just need a fastener. So I'm looking at "sew-in" purse clasps. I'll need to get more than I need, but it's still cheaper than buying a new purse. Frugal!

I picked up Laura Ingalls Wilder's autobiography, Pioneer Girl, from the library. It's her complete autobiography, including incidents that she thought might be too upsetting for the Little House books. Should be interesting.

I read an article about how New York City has lost its soul due to international investors who don't live in New York. So, me being me, I looked into a trip to New York in December sometime. I'd like to take the train (although flying might be cheaper?), but Amtrak's site has been weirding out, so I can't find out how much it costs. I figured out what was wrong, and if I wanted a roomette, it would cost a ridiculous amount of money. I think that sleeping in a coach seat would be the way to go. I can sleep pretty well on public transportation. There are surprisingly cheap Airbnb's in New York.

Speaking of travel, I booked my train travel to and from my mom's house.

I need to get up earlish to cover the front desk worker's lunch. It'll just be him and me tomorrow.
