Taking the day

Have taken the day off, and will use it to get things done that have slipped past me. Will probably go to the gym as well, for my own health - the weather and the upheavals have prevented us from going and I think I really need to, if only to keep it on my radar as a Place To Go. Then will visit Bemo in the afternoon, and I think this evening I will finally go back to aikido.

This will disappoint the cats, who all hope I will stay in bed the whole day and keep them warm. One of them is opportunistically curled up at my shoulder as I type this, purring in an enticing, "Stay here and go back to sleep" kind of way. This despite the fact that he's the reason I'm up - he and little white cat had a fight right on top of me about a half-hour ago.
