The cat woke me by bouncing up and down on my bladder at 05:00; being a normal DSH, he used his "variable mass" power to alternate between 4KG and 45KG randomly to ensure proper wakefulness.
I quickly intuited this meant "I want breakfast" and hastened to oblige, pausing only to deal with my now over-pressurized bladder.
Cat fed, Herself SAT monitored, with surprisingly good results - the little concentrator at max overnight in the spare room with the door closed and an extended cable got her to an all-time high of 94 so that'll be staying in some form, though it'll need some attention in the long term.
No internet. Dial tone, good up- and down-stream speeds, but no IP address, and the desktop refusing to see the local network though the Surface can. Phone for some reason very slow - dial up slow - but diagnostics and swearing finally got 4G and contact with the ISP.
Internet fixed. It's now 06:30 and I can finally get to see what is going on. Coffee time!
I'm lucky I posted this at CP, never mind the right forum!

stupid cats. And I'm a cat person. My daughter is in transition from one place to another, and her cat grew up at home so we've agreed to watch him for the moment. The problem is that the cat may as well be a beagle, baying in the hallway during the night to announce: 1) I'm hungry; 2) I'm lonely; 3) I want pets; 4) I just took a dump successfully. Two more weeks.
One day, the only pets I will have in my house will actually be mine.

We used to have a previous cat - "Beldin" - who was a lot more direct: he'd smash his forehead into my nose and try to break it at breakfast time ...

Talk about poorly trained cats. All my cats have been trained that if I'm in bed they're in bed. They get up when I do and reasonably politely wait for me to get their breakfast.

Use 'move thread to another forum' super power if you have!

While it is true that I was bitten by a radioactive teddy bear and acquired Teddy Powers, they do not include the ability to move threads between fora* 
* Or indeed, do anything particularly useful. Handy for organising Picnics in The Woods** on short notice though.
** Or The Spoom if you live in Oz. But watch for Drop Bears!

Regrettably not. All I get a series of smaller teds that communicate to me using Chinese Whispers: I can just hear microTed, who can hear nanoTed, who can talk to picoTed. femtoTed supposedly exists, but I suspect he has gone a bit quantum.

Are you OK? it's been nearly 24 whole hours and you haven't posted ... 
(On a related note, do you check your R* social messages?)

I haven't checked in. I've been avoiding GTA because I got super frustrated with it trying to start a closed race.

I managed to get one going with Dandy - I think you have to get your mind into "R* mode" occasionally.
Are you after the prize ride this week? I'm not sure I want it but I'm up for getting you one if you do. It's the Verlierer[^]
Pleas do check your messages soonish - I sent you a Codeproject Members Crew invite yesterday.
