big news from yesterday! no, not my news, nothing ever happens here. Megan and Harry!. i drop the titles because i don't think they will have them for long. when i read their announcement on instagram i thought it made sense. Megan is not happy with how the press have treated her and supposedly Harry is upset with his brother for stepping out on his wife (???). SO "stepping back" make sense, hope they have some savings because i assumed they made the announcement after consultation with Buckingham Palace and apparently they did not. Came as a surprise to the Queen too, she can't be happy. I bet they lose their titles and would not be surprised if they did not have a place to stay when they visit UK. Ahh, the troubles of the rich and famous!
back to life in reality, i have a ton of work to do plus i have to pay bills. not going to be a rolling fun day and i will not have lots of time for chit-chat here.
Jack took the xmas decorations down yesterday, not that there were many to remove. Boo was very upset as he loves his tree and posing in front of it, here is a snap for posterity, as you can see, not a really big tree:

my original major in college was anthropology (until i discovered how hard it would be to support myself) and i am always fascinated by very early civilizations and ultimately "where we came from". this story opens up a whole new world of possibilities with the discovery of a new ancient species. it is freaky how much closer they look to humans than previous "missing links": https://www.inverse.com/article/52665-australopithecus-sediba-ancient-human-debate?link_uid=37&utm_campaign=inverse-daily-2020-01-09&utm_medium=inverse&utm_source=newsletter
in cat news. Boo comes to me every afternoon, outs his paws on my thigh and meows for treats. its cute and i am usually ready for a break so i go into the kitchen and get him one. today, for the first time EVER Miss Lily came to me meowing at the top of her little lungs. then she would walk away looking at me and kept on doing this until i followed her.... to her crunchy food dish. she could see the bottom, it was not full! she would not stop the noise until i filled it up and no white dish bottom was evident. 🤦♀️ they are so lucky i work from home!
here they are in an October picture
