Good morning townies! I'm still awake on Sunday night, and I'm not sure how to
feel. I had coffee, so that's at least part of the problem. (I was sure my
caffeine tolerance was through the roof, but I guess I just don't feel it.) I do
have work in the morning, but I only need like 5 hours of sleep to function.
I'll also whip up some more coffee in the morning. Honestly, my coffee maker
hasn't been used in months. I've been using energy drinks more than coffee, but
I do splurge on the occasional Chai Tea Latte, which is delicious. (If you
haven't tried one, you absolutely should.) Still getting over this cold, so I'm
trying to cut back on the energy drinks until I'm healthy again, but eh, it's
basically the one thing that makes me feel like me. Holy hell, I might actually
have a problem.

In addtion, my cat seems to have perfected the art of escaping from her collar.
It's a breakaway collar so she doesn't choke herself if she gets stuck, and she
uses that fact to her advantage. I'll have to add a photo of her on Tilde Town
soon, because she's so cute. (Adopted her a few months ago from a shelter. She's
about 5 years old, and her name is Arwen) I also got her a harness, since she's
been trying to be adventurous lately, sitting by the door when I come home, and
trying to sneak past me. Perhaps letting her explore a bit in a harness will
make her less apt to try and dash out without permission. I read a story of an
owner who basically convinced their cat that they needed their "jacket" to go
outside, so perhaps I can train my cat to do something similar.

Also, over the weekend, I've become absolutely addicted to a game called
Wildstar. (It's free on [Steam](http://store.steampowered.com/app/376570/)!)
It's like World of Warcraft, but free to play. I don't think there are any hard
limitations asides from things like how many characters you can create. My
friends and I got absolutely engrossed in it. It's pretty easy to play either
solo, or with a group, and sync in and out of playstyles seamlessly. It's all up
to you how you wanna play it. Who knows, maybe we'll be able to quest a bit
together!

I've been on a streak of listening to songs from musicals, and it's reminded me
of how much I need to see _Hamiltion_. I'm fairly sure it's still in California!
However, why not stick to the classics, like Aladdin! Cause you've never heard a
song like this.

Another two cups of coffee for this morning! Apparently I only got 4h13m of
sleep last night. Erph. Short, even for me, but Wildstar is so damn engrossing!
That, and I couldn't sleep. Consuming coffee at midnight might be the culprit.
I'm honestly hoping that I can take off a bit early tonight, though I'm probably
going to have to do some manipulation to the production database today. I'm not
looking forward to that **shudders**. It's always something that makes me super
nervous to do. I always back up, I always sit there biting my nails until the
operations complete successfully. Hopefully today everything works well again.
