I cannot believe how cold it was last night. I should have just plugged in the electrical blanket, low batteries be damned. Neelix spent the night under one layer of blankets huddled against my spine. I can’t believe it’s early June!

Neelix did something last night that made me a little sad. He kneaded my back before settling in for the night. He’s never done that before, but Tabitha did it all the time and it’s probably what I miss most about her. Cats who were weaned too soon usually knead. It means that they see you as a parent figure. I miss my girl.

It’s still cold this morning, but there is SUN. Now, my property sucks for boondocking of the solar variety (trees plus hills means very little direct sunshine), so I’ve conceded that power needs to happen soon rather than later (and would likely be cheaper than getting a generator). But I’m getting a charge, albeit a small one. Truth be told, I’m sick of boondocking and look forward to running water and power.

As for the internet, it is WORKING. I had another huge job waiting in my folder this morning, broken into three parts. I downloaded the smallest file while I made coffee, then started working on it while the other two downloaded. The big one just finished. No frustration, no rebooting the Mifi 50 billion times, no running outside to adjust the antenna. I just turned on all my equipment and got to work. I am so pleased.

Sun, good coffee, working internet, and loads of work. Sounds like a perfect morning to me.

I don’t want to finish at 11PM again today, so I’m hunkering down to type.
