Hope you've been able to catch some Z's. Cat still being pesky? I think my beagle's taking notes, because for the past four days he's decided to wake me up by incessantly whining at the door. *facepalms* He refuses to sleep in a dog bed...so not only does he hog half [i]my[/i] bed, now he's waking up at ridiculously early hours. (9am's early when you tend to turn in at 4am!) 

Oh boy. I've been thinking about that a lot. I'm leaning towards having him stay on Earth for now. I like the idea of him being an obstacle later on, and this'll really rile him. So close to the portal and yet so far! That sound good by you?
This week's been absolutely insane, but I'll see if I can get my post in tomorrow.
