Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Cyclotron Comes to the 'Hood
Albert Swank Jr., a 55-year-old civil engineer in Anchorage, Alaska, is a man with a mission. He wants to install a nuclear particle accelerator in his home.
But when neighbors learned of plans to place the 20-ton device inside the house where Swank operates his engineering firm, their response was swift: Not in my backyard.
Local lawmakers rushed to introduce emergency legislation banning the use of cyclotrons in home businesses. State health officials took similar steps, and have suspended Swank's permit to operate cyclotrons on his property.
When owning a cyclotron is criminal, only criminals will own cyclotrons.
Now I'm earwormed with "My Cyclotron Brings all the Boys to the Yard."

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I don't know what form of the sick that I am getting, but I am still tired after 9 hours of sleep and am weak and unfocused. Also? really thirsty and extremely bothered by being too warm.

I really wish the Plague wasn't making y'all so much sicker than I. But for one nap, it really didn't suck the life out of me. I could have chopped off my head at points, but the rest of me was fine (I didn't know my eyebrows could hurt. That was weird.)
Still iffy voice. And I think this mornings meds are making me a bit lightheaded. Focus is HARD.

Why is everyone sick? Was someone supposed to have made some sacrifice to some deity?
Where are the Buffista goats anyway?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My dad worked at one of the first cyclotrons when he got out of college. No idea what he did there, but he doesn't seem to glow in the dark or anything.
I don't know how I managed to avoid the Buffista ick, but I'm going to huddle in my office and slurp down vitamine C-laden herb tea until it's done with it's assult on Buffistae.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oops. I thought they were for me.

Also? really thirsty and extremely bothered by being too warm.
Ugh, yes. I had all my windows open last night and even had to turn the AC on.
I'm home from work today, though maybe I'll go in later.

Huh. I just got another phone call from someone offering to help me out because another client is screaming about something I haven't responded to yet, because I haven't had time to look at it.
Dunno if it's a good thing that people are recognizing I'm being bombarded like London, or if it's going to lead up to a "chat" with a boss.
