@memcneil70 The awful part is, Adobe owns Substance Painter. I'd really like to give that a spin.  Sorry to hear these things are happening to you. Failing eyesight is a nightmare and back pain is still among the worst pains. Seems unfair that anyone should have to deal with all that.  I hear you on pet competition for prime sleepy time real estate. I was falling off the edge of the bed last night and wasn't sure why. Oh, the beagle was sleeping right in the middle of everything. Sadly for beagles, they don't have razor sharp claws and mine is docile. So I gently moved her out of the middle and took back my space.  

I managed to buy Substance Painter just before Adobe bought it. Another thing I have to open up and learn. Sigh. 

Back when I lived in California and had a home with a queen bed and six Lhasa Apsos I had that experience of being shoved off the bed as the furballs were lined up next to me and gradually shoving me off the edge during the night. Better me than them. Currently the cats are more mobile during the night. It is only during the day that Simon takes up his station in one corner made by my pillows and the other pillows and throws. Now Charlie has been know to climb on my rear pillow during the night and flatten it and I find my feet off the end of the bed or curled over. He varies his routine. He now has an Amazon shipping box with a throw in it, that is HIS safe zone and disappears into it often. Simon has tried to get into it and been absolutely rebuffed. They may be partners but there are limits!

But they woke me up at 1am MDT today. To a migraine that my meds seem to be helping. Thank you little gods.

So sorry about the migraine, but glad the meds are helping. 

I join the sympathy train for being pushed out of one's own bed. For a while I was co-sleeping with Teen Kiddo (then 6.5 - 8-ish), Little Dude (baby to 2 years), plus two cats. I joked that my part of the bed was about six inches in the middle... and when Little Dude got bigger and both kids slept like starfish, sometimes I wound up just curling up at the foot of the bed. Once we got our house back and were the only ones in it, it was safe for Teen Kiddo to have their own room, and eventually both cats crossed the Bridge, so now I'm down to just Little Dude, and he really needs to be cuddled to sleep decently. Close is never close enough, so the night is pretty much a progression of him cuddling me off one side of the bed, me getting up to pee, then settling in on the opposite side (or some other spot if he's horizontal across it) and him wiggling over to start the process again. 

(I know you're not supposed to co sleep with babies, but aside from the fact that he wouldn't sleep unless he was held, he was safer with me than in a crib of his own. And yes, towards the end, my ex- was that bad.)

It's almost noon, I guess I'll hang it up.

Sad to report: Frank Beard, drummer for ZZTop and the only member that had no beard has died.

Now Billy Gibbons is the only original member left.

I have PhotoShop CS2.  Couldn't afford any later versions, and I won't do the subscription thing.  Tough using it.  I have a 4K monitor and the text on the menus is so tiny.  Don't need it for much, anyway...these days.
