The cat is complaining because I'm making onion rings instead of petting the cat.

With the realization that I probably want to add another chapter to the book and the page count increases from the other edits, I'm thinking more seriously about doing a print version, but that would require a complete redesign of the interior (not actually that big a deal) and introduce other complications for a project I was hoping to be done with by now. Ugh.

Getting better at the rhythm game part of Deemo Reborn. I might be able to get the platinum trophy for this after all, but not tonight.

Saw one of the new bat quarters in the till today. It's a good design.

She sent back a smiling cat emoji.

Sent my California sister a cat picture for her birthday.

The new chapter would be very data heavy and in a sense it might look like I'm padding things out, but there's educational value here and it's supportive of several of the main points I try to present in training.

I think the book might need another chapter. My normal editing process makes things shorter, but for this book I might end up doubling the page count. I think I'll try to finish editing the rest of the book before making the decision on adding another chapter.

I've also been informed that the half gallon bottles that we've been out of for a while are being manufactured today so some time next week we should also be able to resume selling half gallon bottles of chai concentrate. I'll have to see how the gallons sell once that's back and decide if I want to keep selling those retail or go back to that being bar use/wholesale only.

Ordered more coffee. The selection of decafs available through the web site is pretty bad right now because I didn't want to accidentally take orders I couldn't fill promptly. I'll be able to fix that some time next week. I'm getting the last 3 bags in the Madison warehouse of the Sulawesi coffee I've been using a lot for training (some may or may not still be available out of Oakland, I know they had some there, too). Also adding a coffee from El Salvador to have something new on offer.

Hugged the cat. It's raining. She wants extra cuddles.

New chocolate bars arrived today so I'm giving up on selling the last bar featuring a moose wearing a scarf on the label. I'll just eat that one.

Arrived home to find the cat trying very hard to make a big dent in the top of the couch.

It's time to pet the cat.

Wow, the slightly less convenient to get in/out was 20 cents per gallon cheaper. Sold.

Need to buy gas today. The low gas light came on right after driving past the gas station on my way home from work yesterday.

The cat is talkative tonight.

Changed out my falling apart backpack for a lightly used bag I got at an event to use for carrying the laptop around. It's not ideal, but good enough until I decide what I want to do.
