Now promise not to cut or burn yourself
Day 2 of the conference. Today was quite sunny. Lucky for those people who had an outdoor activity. I spent most of the morning in bed hoping my head would explode and be done with it.

Its a cat-tastic day
So I have cat sitting at my feet right now. Rubbing, pawing at my feet like they were catnip or something. I don't know what it is about freshly showered feet, but it is like cat crack (the white type, not the other type, I see too much of the other type in my personal opinion).
