Most of the time when my back is achy, taking a walk makes it feel better. Which annoys me, because I'd rather have an excuse to lie down on a heating pad.

Annoying! Heating pads for all!

But again, not as annoying as meara's broken leg. I wish I could magick you an elevator.

I really hope Gud checks in. It makes me panicky when someone expresses suicidal thoughts and then contact stops.

Is anyone (dcp or Strix maybe?) close enough to check in person?

I could send him a message via FB messenger generically asking him to check into the board.

Lol—jesse a magic elevator would be great! Can we work on that?

Maybe an oversized dumbwaiter? Worked for Harriet the Spy.

I have ALWAYS wanted to use a dumbwaiter as transportation! Just once. (I also really REALLY want to kick open a door. Just once. I'm so puny that it would have to be a hollow-core door. That maybe isn't latched all the way.)

Oh man. My day is going to be more difficult than I thought.

I heard my rodent guest this morning, so covering the holes under the sink didn't help.

The rodent has invaded the junk drawer, which is full of droppings and stray pieces of pasta. I have to take that all apart and I don't WANT to.

Also the park has shut off the water for the fourth time in two weeks. I probably shouldn't start cleaning up until I can wash my hands. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, poor me!

Maybe I should get a ferret to hunt the rodent.

Cats are very helpful with rodents, although they seem to think you want them delivered as a present.

I sent a FB message to Gud. Not sure if he does messenger, but that is the way my kids communicate with me so I thought maybe it would work.

If someone knows where he lives, we can ask local PD to do a wellness check--if it comes down to it.

Gud, please check in. You've got a lot of people very worried about you.
