Personally, I think I'm doomed. I should just become a monk.

I went downstairs and found that there was half a pot of coffee from
yesterday. What a disappointment. No fresh, hot, coffee. No enticing
aroma. I was going to dump it but my frugal side made me nuke it
instead. Not a good start for the week.

On top of that, my daughter walked out of her room with a big cat. This
cat has been hanging around our condo for some reason. What a strange
cat. She walks around here like she owns the place and is not skittish
at all. What gives? The cat appears well cared for but why does she hang
outside our door mewing all the time? That darn cat!
