Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm going to say a big grand ixnay on the irefay. Call it a hunch.

I am in the most bizarre moods right now. Just odd. I hope I don't do anything I regret, and that should start with staying off OKC.

Also, I'm not 43. I've been thinking I was 43 for...weeks now. I'm not sure what's up with that.

Right. Back to catching with nearly oldest friend over text message.

Anne, even as a fire enthusiast, I have to say DON'T CATCH ON FIRE.

How are people?

Kittens are awesome, job hunt sucks, and I'm stopping the new antibiotic I was put on because "possible" side effects of increased depression, anxiety, and confusion were Not Fun. Semi-hysterical crying for no reason for 5 days in a row? No thanks, stopping that now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Can't be said too often.

Jeez, Jilli. My friend's mom also has lyme (she's in her 60s) and the secondary infections have been awful and debilitating. One of the drs was giving her 2-5 years due to a lung infection. Thankfully, a new dr got that kicked out of the game. It took way too long to diagnose her (she's in a rural area. Which given the presence of lyme here, you'd think they'd be versed. But no.)

And then my next door neighbor got the Yale tattoo a couple weeks ago after his final trek through the woods up there (the bullseye rash, he was getting a forestry degree at Yale the last year) and is on the heavy anti-bs.

I'd pretty much never heard of it back in NM. We just had rabies and bubonic.

MORE KITTENS. I think you should just indulge in kittens from here on out. And indulge me.

Whoo, yeah. And again, I have to say my doctor is awesome, and knows her stuff about Lyme. I just have the misfortune of having brain chemistry that says oh hai, emotional side-effects? Sure!

Vlad (the black boykitty) likes to headbutt people. A lot. And shove his tiny nose into yours. Pete has repeatedly had a kitten nose shoved up his nostrils, which is hilarious.

Because books.

So are you older or younger?

I will admit, as I get older I forget, too. I've asked S. in the past how old he is, because then I know I'm two years younger.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Anne, even as a fire enthusiast, I have to say DON'T CATCH ON FIRE.

Exactly.

E's mom could have avoided partial blindness had they diagnosed her sooner. It's ridiculous.

MK, before he got frail, was a headbutter. It is annoying at times, but endearing. Loki and Devi both are face and mouth sniffers still. I'm SO not planning on kittens, but getting to know their quirks is so much fun. Cat in the nose!

That's Switch, too. He comes at you HARD, and repeatedly.

Cortez, on the other hand, will either come sit politely in front of you and stare, walk just close enough to your leg to let the very tips of his fur touch you, or climb up and lick your hair.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Gah. That is no fun at all. Have the side-effects subsided any, or will that take a while?
