To everyone feeling stressed, lonely, or otherwise unhappy, Harvey is sending his sweetest and best purr vibes. He wants you to feel as loved and as content as his humans feel when he stretches out on a lap or belly with his head resting on a wrist. I want you to feel that way too.

Um. Slightly different note - I should probably touch bases with local animal control on this, right? Squirrel ran straight at me, not moving quite right - like there's an injury or neurological problem, looks like its fur is not all the same length (maybe wacky shedding issues this time of year but...?). A neighbor's dog barked and scared it, big tree right behind me, so it may have panicked and ignored me in favor of getting the hell up the tree away from the dog?

I'm taking Tylenol. It is, as usual, doing almost nothing. I view Tylenol as a cruel joke.

How are all these people misusing prescription drugs and how can I get in on that?

Want me to come to Atlanta and bring you some Valium? That's all I got, but you can totally have some.

Wow I really thought tylenol was an nsaid. Interesting.

I actually have one of Valium's relatives. What I really want is codeine. Hell, I got through three months of chemo-induced bone pain with an unlimited hydrocodone prescription without ending up on the street begging for prescription pads. I had a half bottle left over and eked it out over three years.

Boo for loud ass thunderstorms all night long with a constant lightning strobelight. I have never seen the likes of this kind of non stop lightning for HOURS on end before moving here.

Yeah, I need to fashion a shade or something for the window in my bedroom. The lack of insulation makes it so much louder, too. StW has the hard-earned advantage of a doctor, that he can sleep through pretty much anything.

Which DMV you going to (eventually) smonster? The one on Airport Road is super busy, but fairly well organized.

Probably that one. I've got some other errands to run out that way. Planning on tomorrow, since I just got up (hey, there have to be some benefits to unemployment).

Huh. Apparently, squirrels don't carry rabies. Good to know.

Really, WindSparrow? I didn't know that, either.

Only carnivorous animals (or I suppose omnivorous, anyway meat eaters) is my understanding (from when I made a panicky visit to urgent care after being bitten by a "wild" hamster...long story).

We've been warned about those packs of feral hamsters.
