Morning. Baby kitten is still with us and doing a little better. I'm pretty well sleep-deprived, but trying to sleep when she sleeps between feedings. I don't know how I used to do this all the time, and all I can say is that I'm glad I only have possibly two weeks of gas, burping, and colicky baby vs six to nine months of it. Supposing she makes it, but she's got a tenacious drive to hang on to everything, and is already purring and trying to crawl out of her box. So, maybe? We'll see.

Morning. Still alive. Kitten is still alive and gaining weight. Still medically fragile. Today's goals: This week is survival mode. House: chores only School: none (boy am I glad I scheduled this week off) Cooking: leftovers today. Will make a stew and biscuits tomorrow. Writing: 3000 words over projects, but I'll be happy if I only hit my NaNo projects this week. Beta reading. Extra: call the dryer guy again. Mandatory: afternoon nap

I have a scheduled week off from school, and boy, am I going to need it. I am working a ton this week, and picked up a bottle baby kitten this weekend that's still pretty fragile.

Get someone else to cook the hamburger patties Kitten care Get some drafting done on NaNo projects Sleep sometime
