Goodness, I had a really nice, long sleep. I feel so fully rested, I’m ready to start the day. Don’t you love that feeling? A girl needs her beauty sleep. Even when the cat decides to hog half the bed and won’t budge. Is it wrong of me to let her sleep right next to me, leaving me very little room to move around? She’s so darn cute. I couldn’t say no, nor could I kick her off the bed. She’s about 8 pounds and she hogs more than 30% of the bed. There’s something wrong with that picture.

Happy Halloween. Today, we’re having our famous Wednesday lunch gatherings at work. Every Wednesday my coworkers and I go out to lunch to debrief, unwind, and just have a good time. It’s also court day, but I don’t have any clients for court today, so it’s not too bad. The lunch group is growing. At first, it was just Sieneke and me, and then it was Sieneke, me, and Jenbug. And then it was four people, and now we’re having two extra people join us. Eventually, we’ll have to make reservations for a party of 20 every week if this doesn’t stop! How lovely!
