Timelies all!
My cats eat Purina One, though not as much of it as they'd like. (I had to restrict the amount of food they got when I found out Nova was overweight. She wasn't happy about the reduction, but that's how it goes)
There are cockroaches in Mexico big enough to own property.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
did you get your car up and running?
No, not yet. I don't have the energy to deal with more than re-upping the AAA today.
Sorry that your mother didn't get what she wanted--but at least it worked out for you.

Does the car just need a jump, ita? Like it's a battery ish? And when do you need the car? In this week's fun, I was planning on doing lemon bars from our tree and bringing them to you so if you don't need your car today or tomorrow, I might be able to help.
msbelle, I'm glad you're back home and recovering.

The electrics work--the engine just makes a clicky noise when I try and start it up. So I think it needs professional help.
DAMN, I'm cold. Two blankets, fleece jammy pants, long sleeves. So now I'm trying a heating pad.

Make a hot water bottle. Got a nalgene or similar water bottle? Fill it with boiling (or at least hot) water, screw lid on tightly, and snuggle. That's a trick we use at snow camp.
t eta Also, sounds like your car's starter went out. It's better to leave that for professional help - kinda PITA to get at and replace.

ita, do you have a fever? I hope you feel better soon, whatever the cause.
I'm just sleepy, so tired that I can't stop yawning, and my eyes are constantly tearing up, which is what they do when I get this tired. I probably should get some Diet Coke to wake me up, but I'm trying to cut back on how much soda I drink. (I've already had a 20-oz bottle and a 32-oz cup of it before lunch was finished).

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Night, msbelle! I'm glad you're doing okay. Rest and relax and heal.

Heal up, msbelle.
