Home from vacation. A/c is broken, elevators at my doctor's office are broken, it's raining, and the doctor is of course running late.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Returning from vacation always sucks, but that's even more sucky.

Here's a weird medical thing that I don't trust Dr. Google for info on. Every once in a while when I'm talking I suddenly feel like I can't control my mouth and tongue to speak properly and all I can do is make gibberish noises. Usually this happens for a second or so. Last night I was talking and this happened for about three or four seconds--I just couldn't form words at all during that time. I had to stop speaking, wait five seconds and try again, when everything was back to normal.
Is this something I should be concerned about?

Well that doesn't sound good.
Back when I first lost vision in my left eye, I had a brain MRI that showed I'd had a number of micro-strokes. Maybe this is related? Maybe i should see a neurologist?

With you having a history of micro-strokes, I'd encourage a neurology check up.

I would, because that's the best way to rule stuff out as well as narrow down any possible cause.

Definitely worth a consult, even if it's only to establish a baseline.

OK, you guys talked me into it. Thanks.

Um, yeah, this. Especially if it's getting worse/more frequent/longer!!
