   “Queen of the Night” is a favorite. Symphony No. 40 in G Minor is my favorite Mozart symphony. I also love “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik”, although it’s been overplayed a bit, so maybe I’ll go with the Divertimento in D Major instead of that one.

   My three have learned that if they don’t budge, I’ll do my best to work around them during the night, when I have to turn over many times, as a side-sleeper, or even to get out of bed to go to the bathroom and then get back in. They like to get up in between my legs. So, when the need to turn over hits, I pull out one leg from the blankets and hold it up with the knee near my chin, then turn over, then pull the other leg up and out and over to the other side of the cat(s), then finally put the leg I’ve been holding up out front again. In a few minutes, at least one cat will usually move from where it’s now behind the knee of my hind leg back over to in between the two legs in the new position. Or sometimes one will just smash up closer to my bottom. I have to check carefully that there’s not a cat back there before I begin the turnover or the get-out-of-bed-to-go procedure.

   I’ve got one that actually starts to knead my bladder if I’m trying to hold it so he gets more lap time. I don’t think he means to, it’s just soft and warm in that area of my abdomen, especially with a blanket on top.

   You taught me a new Latin phrase. I’d never heard that one before.

   I tried it again this holiday because I’d forgotten why it’s so hated. I think it would taste halfway decent with the nuts and brown sugar paste, and the fruit, if only they didn’t put those nasty orange peels in it. The kind I got listed orange peels as the second ingredient. It tastes so very bitter going down, and the bitter aftertaste lingers. I thought I’d never get that horrible bitterness out of my mouth.

   I’m pretty sure an ex-spouse can be held liable for any debt incurred during a marriage. It may vary by state. But the bottom line is that she has money and he doesn’t, so they’ve come after her. It’s one of the many reasons more and more young people are refusing to get married, and they may be wise to do so.

   I never really thought about it before today, but Schulz was a huge ally of female empowerment. I was a small child reading his strips with all the strong, empowered female characters, and those ideas really stuck.

   Except for the toaster and the juicer, all of that has turned into one small device.

    I watched that movie a couple of years ago, and the song at the end was the best part.
