Sophia, that is awful. I am so sorry. As others urged, please get to a Dr. and have them look at your wounds. Getting an infection, or worse, could be very bad.

world record for napping

went to bed at 2, work up 5:30. went bacl to bed at 6, woke up just now.

so 5+ hours of napping. so not normal for me. AND I think I'll be back to bed in another 20 min or so. don't feel sick at all, which is good.

Your day sounds a lot like mine, msbelle. Since midnight last night, I think I've been asleep for 13 hours, all told. Other than allergies, I feel fine, so I think it's catch up from last weekend and busy days all week.

Healing~ma for Sophia, and sanity~ma for the kitty....

Lair of the White Worm

...there exists a rare, giant, albino earthworm in the scrub prairies of the Palouse. It grows to be 3 feet long, and smells like lilies.

I scarcely believed it myself—that's also Sasquatch country out there, you know—so I had to look it up. The Giant Palouse Earthworm (Driloleirus americanus) is real. They're so rare, though, that one hasn't been spotted in almost 20 years…until last year. A new specimen was found, and unfortunately, fixed in formaldehyde right away.

Right after I posted last, my cat Chumley managed to scramble past me out the back door, and led me on a merry half-hour chase up and down my backyard, from bush to bush. He couldn't decide whether he was Totally Freaked or channelling Elsa from Born Free.

Oh, "name that tune" is hilarious.

{{sophia}} so awful, best ma~~ heading to you both

Sophia, I'm going to echo everyone else. Animal bites can get very bad very quickly. You really can't wait until Tuesday to have them looked at.

All I find myself wondering is "why is the guy in the background dropping trou?"
