Gronk. Double gronk, even. We had a massive thunderstorm here last night. With lightning. One strike was so hard and so close the condo shook like a rat in a terrier's mouth. If I hadn't have known better it felt almost like an earthquake. I think I got about four hours sleep. Did I mention the gronk?

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sail, you didn't need to mention the gronk because I'm up to my ears in gronk. The seder last night went to midnight -- note to self: don't ever go to a seder again where everyone in the room either went to law school or policy school. Those are the kind of people debate everything, at length, over and over again, in the hope of solving all the world's problems while drunk on the ritual wine. And then they sing.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Thanks for the kitty-thoughts. His appetite seems healthy, and he even took his first night's pill without too much fuss. He does seem to be drinking more water than usual, but that'll only flush things out, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

Yay for Teddy, Fred Pete! He needs to talk to Sean's cat about being mellow for pills.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I was watching those storms on radar go North of us. But I think we're about to get some thunderstorms in the next few minutes (Evanston, anyway).

It must have been a heck of a front, tommy. It started around 8-9pm and didn't stop until well after 3am. I know because I looked at the clock wondering when I'd be able to get some sleep. At least if you get it in the day, it's not going to cause you too many problems!

Yeah, on radar it was this solid East-West band of storm that was going straight East, so it never got closer to us. Now it looks like this narrow band is gonna get us in a few minutes, with a much wider band following in an hour or so: [link]

He usually isn't like that. There's usually a fair amount of hissing, as well as claw-based threats.
I think we caught him by surprise.

Glad your cat is doing relatively well, Fred Pete, and the pills fix him up right quick and he continues to be mellow about taking them!
