I just reached out to pet the rescue on the futon suddenly as she was washing, and she totally flinched. Twice. Uhg. That's not from us. Uhg. She's loveyest (if you aren't another cat) and trusting and calm thing ever. Everyone at the vets' remarked on it, she was chill. But she clearly had shitty humans before.

I can hate people.

(This is me decompressing. Talking to people in the box.)

And just now when I stood up suddenly, she bolted under the couch. Uhg.

Okay, folks who deal with pain, I have had knee pain, agonizing can't navigate stairs, or standing up or sitting down knee pain since last Sunday. It abated, but then I sat for a training today and it's locked back up. There is no swelling but also anytime I put pressure on it if my knee is not locked (which is bad for me, I know), then it gives out.

Go to urgent care or wait and see my regular doc for an MRI?

Today, there was a Flick and Float event at my Y. They had also sorts of pool floaties (and snacks for outside of the pool) and showed Despicable Me. Noah stuck it out for an hour in the pool and then we showered, watched a bit more and went home. What a fun event!

eeep Kat! Knee pain is scary.

I think Pumpkin is adorable. I'd totes take her in if I lived closer by, sarameg. I have a kitty lying next to me and purring right now. She's my little girl who is old now and whose kidneys are failing, but she seems very happy despite all that.

I have never tried the TJs pub cheese. After tonight's convo I think I need to remedy that.

My joints get funky (mainly my knees give out on the stairs, and I have weird gasping-painful twinges in various places even swimming ) at certain points in my hormonal cycle. That would be the first question I looked at. But that sounds a little different.

FYI, the rescue dumpee halloween kitty snores. Yeah, I'm trying not shutting her in the basement tonight. Fuck.

the rescue dumpee halloween kitty

Her name is Pumpkin.

My old girl is humming right now. It's a sort of grumble/snore/breathing thing. I can't see her, but I hear her. Adorable, but it shows her age.

Timelies all!

Am posting from one of the open filk rooms at OVFF.

I'm sorry, ita.

One of my cats snores and so does my dog.

I just finished the first disc of FNL s5. Still makes me cry about once an episode. Coach and Tami 4evah.

I haven't watched Britton's new show, well, because it's not my kind of show. But also I couldn't stand seeing her--for a little while yet--and not have her smile and go, "Hey, y'all!" I'll have to give it some time.

Kat, when you describe something as "agonizing," my instinct is urgent care. You need your knees, woman. Also you need no pain.

ION, which of you evil people mentioned the TJ's pub cheese? I'm trying to convince myself that the tub is not a single serving.

Tim just told me to tell you all: try the pub cheese with mini-pretzels. He is addicted to that stuff. We have a tub of the regular cheddar and the jalapeno cheddar in the fridge at all times.
