Oh Lordy, I can feel yesterday's bowling. My butt, my thighs...
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I ate too many cookies for breakfast.

Survived the visit with the family. Dropped a kid off at a homeless shelter in Worcester and am halfway home now to my kitties.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'm in the airport, waiting for the flight back home. Another low-key visit with the folks.

Juliebird, how did you come by a kid to drop off at a homeless shelter? Sounds like a story there....

Saw this guy walking along 495 (!!!), pulled over, cleaned out my passenger seat, and waited for him to clear the guard rail. Asked if he needed a ride and where he was going. When I asked if there was someplace specific, he said a shelter, so I had him find an address on my phone and plugged it into my Garmin, which was only a ten minute detour (how long is that on foot?). Gave him a candy bar and a slim Jim (my road snacks). He'd been walking since midnight. I gave him a tenner outside the Y. When I looked on my phone, the address was for the substance abuse triage center, extra bag of suck for him. He said he'd been with family for Christmas. Hopefully he gets the help he's looking for and warm place, because this week it's getting cold.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man. Good for him for heading that direction, and good for you for helping him get there.

A question for those with knowledge of animal health: I've been putting Shadow's treats and regular dry cat food in a bowl on the porch for whatever neighborhood creatures may wander by, and it's being scrupulously eaten. But I've got most of a bag of prescription cat food that he refused to eat. I doubt the vet would take an opened bag of cat food, but I'm worried about putting it out for the neighborhood wanderers. Would it hurt them?

I doubt it Connie. I assume it's a health specific diet...but it wouldn't be medicated.

I would guess it's fine, Connie. Probably better for the scavengers than most of what they find to eat.
Laundry and dishes are underway, football has put me in a good mood for once, I feel like I have the coming week (interrupted by holiday as it is) well in hand. Would that every Sunday had such a feel to it.
Hm, I should cook, or at least make a plan to use up whatever is in my pantry that I'll be dropping from my diet on the first...
