Hooray insomnia!

I haven't pulled an all-nighter in a very long time. I wish I hadn't broken that streak today, to be honest. At least there's something resembling sunshine, and I got to be thankful that I'm not taking 66 East for my commute, since it was jammed even at 5:45 AM. Also, I have an hour and a half before anyone else thinks about showing up in the office, so I can crank up the music without headphones. Small favors. Very small.

Halp. Send moar coffee.

My little old man is gone. I'm not surprised, really; he has been definitely showing his age lately and in particular today. He was somewhere between three and four years old (I've had him for just over three years and he was probably at least six months old when I got him at the pet store), which is a quite respectable old age for bettas. It seems like it was pretty peaceful, resting on his favorite leaf perch. RIP, little guy.


Note to cat: You are now the only remaining pet; stop trying to tangle with the mama raccoon who comes up on the deck and outweighs you by quite a lot!
